I already know what abnormal behavior means. And, hopefully, homosexual "marriage" will never be recognized on a federal level.

That's an unreasonable assumption. Every year, more and more states allow it. Every year, more and more people support it. People become more liberal over time. 500 years ago, they were much more conservative than today and much more conservative than 200 years ago. 10 years ago, no state had gay marriage or civil unions. Today, it's a lot of states that do. Today, people are more liberal than 10 years ago when it comes to gay marriage.

Scripture please.

Oh, and be sure to provide one that supports your argument that breaking a cardinal sin is worse than breaking one of the Ten Commandments, because I've never heard of a Christian opposing marriage involving people who work on the Sabbath day...

I've yet to see the response to any of the repeated requests as to why people who use the religious argument, pick homosexuality as the line in the sand, yet break every other rule of the bible that they hold so dear.

i am for free market WITHOUT government intervention. (so yes, individuals boycotting places where they don't agree with the owner is perfectly fine, just like i would boycott a michael vick restaurant-for many reasons really. )

i am glad to see that people still support freedom of speech in this country, and it was a good day for freedom of speech in this country.
Thank you. My feelings exactly.

Because "people become more liberal" then it's a good thing for society as a whole to say "anything goes"?

Funny that you mention that. As I was walking up to CFA store, I heard one guy telling another that "they have a right to say what they feel". Are some of today's customers going today for that reason or the anti-gay reason? I find it odd that ppl are BRAGGING that they are going to CFA today. I just defriended a "facebook friend" who is always ultra-conservative on everything who of course just had to announce that she was at CFA. Can't they just do it quietly without drawing attention to it?

First I "altered" your post, now I "didn't learn how to quote". If you can't make up your mind, then don't respond.

Also, "liberal dosen't mean "anything goes".

Because they like supporting free speech. If you find that odd, it's time to hit your American history books again.

Good to know you defriended someone on Facebook, though, how interesting.

Freedom of speech, huh?

You mean like this one? Apparently, conservatives do not like freedom of speech unless it's something they support.
