Marriage is a right, homosexual couples are being denied that right.

I don't have a gay birth certificate, or a gay social security number, and my marriage license won't say gay marriage.

Look at the states that already have SSM. They get the same license, and certificate that a heterosexual couple gets, it doesn't say "gay" anywhere on it.

There should be nothing built on Ground Zero except the Memorial and new WTC buildings.

I don't think it was right for the mosque to be next to the ground zero site. It is a matter of respect.

Is a strip club placed next to a school?

I try to keep in mind that the actions of a few activists do not represent the majority. I wish other people would do the same.

That made me laugh how you asked. In a twisted way, yes. Logically, no. You cannot argue too much on the fact that it does give an impression to such a degree to some in the straight community.

Why...Did you go to Chick-Fil-A or stay home?

as for the mosque, it was right near ground zero where MUSLIMS killed 3,000 people in a terrorist attack. that is just muslims stepping up and showing that they won that battle by putting a mosque rigtht next where they killed people. i was against that. there was a mosque that was supposed to be built in tennessee, but it was being blocked, i am against that mosque being blocked.

and in addition, the city of new york refused to allow a christian church that was destroyed in the 9/11 attack to be rebuilt. so technically there is no hypocrisy there as both buildings were denied.
As stated MANY times, this is NOT about Mr Cathys views, or opinions. This is about Mr Cathy donating company money i the companies name to groups that actively lobby to deny homosexuals rights.

Do I want him out of business? Not if he can stay in business.
Will I ever spend MY money there? Probably not.

IF you can point out which black or muslim leaders have given donations to anti gay hate groups in their companies name, I will also boycott their businesses

How do you know that? What is their "purpose," besides spraying graffiti on a wall and harassing Chick-Fil-A employees?

They are not underdogs, just misguided!

How may Christian "laws" do they break on a daily basis and then flock on Sundays to church and all is well again for a week.
7. Do not commit adultery. - pretty common
9. Do not speak lies about people. - very common
10. Do not envy what other people have. - This is America in a nutshell. Bigger, better, faster, and more expensive than my neighbors (car, boat, house...you name it)
9. Do not speak lies about people. - very common


Yeah, did you catch the one where CFA management claimed that the reason why Jim Henson toy prizes are no longer offered to the kiddies is because they are "defective?"

More specifically - that the toys can be easily swallowed by small children.

I wasn't making any assumptions of your financial status. Don't know how you came to that conclusion. I said you can just stand outside and protest with the other "underdogs" and not buy anything!
