Yeah! Lets also get rid of Christmas and Easter, why have special days to celebrate a religion? Fourth of July? No special day to celebrate are country. Mothers and fathers? Nope, no special days for them either.
And I guess we should also be getting rid of Memorial day and Veterans day since those are also special days in celebration of certain people.
Columbus Day, MLK day, Presidents Day, Valentines Day, St Patrick's day, Labor Day, Flag Day, NYE, birthdays, anniversaries, and all those other days of celebrations should also be gone.
Ha! I actually would love it if that were the way things were, but it'll never be. Oh well, carry on.
Yeah, instead they have to struggle with people viewing them as a stereotype out to treat women and minorities as unfairly as possible. You know, like you just did.
I did nothing of the sort. I made an observation of national perception, and it's clear this is still how it is today. Not everyone place people on different levels (I don't), but just look at the workforce or the news or whatever.
I bet the liberal pro-gay crowd would throw a hissy fit if Mcdonald's printed Bible verses on their box.
Yes, I bet some people would be up in arms. I think you're absolutely right. I would say the same thing to them:

Overreact much? I wasn't talking about holidays, genius. Try reading up on Valentines Day and what really happened.
You know Jesus wasn't born on December 25th.
Everyday we should be celebrating our mothers, fathers, veterans, MLK, our country etc. Some of other special days have been set aside so the greeting card companies can sell more cards.
Oh so its just gays that shouldn't be able to have a celebration?
McDonalds is a global business and tries to meet the needs of every market it serves from East Bugf**k Texas to P-Town, Mass and all points in between. I'm pretty sure in East Bugf**k, there aint going to be any curly fries in rainbow boxes, however in P-Town it may be all the rage. So they try to be an inclusive community business and employer, Employee Engagement & Diversity - McDonald's :: McDonald it's their policy. If McD's violates your values, then boycott them, it's your right. If their diversity model is too liberal for the community it serves, that store will under perform and eventually go out of business. For me as a Libertarian, as long as your not harming me or anyone else, what you do is your business, if McD's wants to acknowledge gay pride in select markets, then I believe those markets are calling for that attention. No-one is forcing it on anyone, it's your right and your decision to patronize them or not.
