Sorry for posting this so long after the controversy. I moved and have been travelling a lot for work and haven't had the time.
I just want to say that Chick Fil A appreciation day really opened my eyes to the plight of Gays in this country. I drove by my neighberhood Chick Fil A and it was just packed full of people. And as I was looking at them I realized they all had a lot of similarities. All were white, none of them dressed well and all of them looked a little pudgy or were elderly. What you would typically associate with close minded bigoted people. But what struck me the most was how proud some of them looked to be standing there. Granted I'm sure that some people were there to support religous freedom but most of them were there because they don't like Gay people.
I thought to myself what a bunch of hypocrites. They say they want the Government out of their business yet they want the Government to legislate THEIR morality. I like millions of other people will never eat at CHick Fil A again. Also I now 100% support gay rights and will help advance them in anyway I can.

What exactly do we not believe? I think that, back when I was half-hearted on the issue, if I'da seen what the OP described I would've felt a little shove from my conscience too. Everyone has their moment, when they finally cross over from "Well Idk about that" to "Nnnnooo, you're wrong".

I don't think it's news to anyone that gay marriage is less popular amongst blacks. One of the biggest problems gay marriage in Maryland has faced is opposition from powerful black religious leaders. Probably one of the few things they and the conservative whites of Southern and Western MD agree on!
