The issue was over some new menu options, and Chick-fil-A was one of them. Chick-fil-A was chosen by a very large majority; but, that didn't fly with "gays" on campus, who claimed (without any evidence) that Chick-fil-A discriminates, and it's Christian values were unacceptable.

A new vote was taken, and Chick-fil-A was not one of the choices. Understandably, the majority are outraged, but that doesn't matter. Their voices don't count anymore.

The voices of the immoral minority matter more.

Unless you ascribe to their point of view – you are not welcome to participate in the public marketplace – of ideas or commerce.

You will be made to conform -- resistance is futile.

The head of Mozilla was forced to resign because he contributed to a campaign against gay marriage.

But the gays who protested and demanded his removal love Obama -- who was also against gay marriage until a couple of years ago.

Today I learned that democracy = putting up or shutting up. Democracy is dead when people vote with their wallets and petitions. Noted.

This seems to be happening to some degree. If you look at Chick Fil-A and remember how many people went to eat there after the protests. There are large numbers of americans rising up. It is a continual struggle. The 2016 elections are all about choosing which way you want to go. Ironically, Trump is not the most religious candidate, but he is the one "evangelicals" are voting for.
Basically, the libs, gays, colleges, black leaders, etc. are all alligned with the democrats. They represent political correctness. Trump (and Cruz to a lesser extent) represent common sense. This election is not so much conservative vs liberal as it is political correctness vs common sense. Or, pro-American vs multi- culturalism. Or good vs evil. Religious vs athiests.
majority vs minority. Givers/workers vs takers... You get my point.

Having read the link, I have to say that every single person in that opinion piece, including the author ("spokes-dude," really?) is an idiot. Every. Single One.

Let's get all hot and bothered over some silly campus antics at a remote small-time college that none of us attended and likely most have never even heard of.

A day w/o phony outrage is like a day without sunsh.. er, drizzly cold rain.

Unfortunately, what you say is true. Opinions of gays, blacks, and other minorities are what counts now. I don't see that changing.

Most Americans are too ignorant or apathetic to bother trying to think for themselves. They either don't care, or let the media form their opinions.
