Lots of Progressives don't agree with them, including myself.

To be fair..didn't the left jump for joy about boycotting Chik-fil-a over gay issues ?

Yeah well, why don't you lay some of your brilliant arguments on us and prove how smart you are, instead of just incessantly calling people names like an eight-year-old?

No. Lots of people on the left didn't. Lots of progressives who wanted to actually fight for the right of gays to get married weren't bothered by stupid fast food protests.

Yeah, according to him, it's only the right that is capable of acting childish or ignorant.

Go ahead. Ask a question about a topic. I'm all for intelligent discussion and debate. Like I said, that is difficult to find in this forum.

We were doing it for a long time before Bush.

We did it under Carter, Reagan, Ford, Bush the elder, Clinton....and probably under earlier presidents as well.

It's hysterical how dimwitted this forum is.
You should get your facts straight before saying things like that.

You conservatives keep bringing up this college campus BS, and fail to realize that NOT EVERYONE GIVES A SH1T
So?

We care about it.

If it really doesn't matter, then it shouldn't bother you.

And Hobby Lobby for only providing 16 of 20 US Gov. approved contraception devices.

I hope liberals will be happy with people who think it is okay to kill gay people for being gay.

Again, some of us were too busy advocating the actual issue instead of posting in front of fast food restaurants.

With liberals you can at least debate. With progressives there is no debate; they are right period.
