sorry i disagree, but then we pretty much always do.

That would be like if I was friends with someone who did not agree with equal rights or if they thought women should stay at home. Yeah, I'd say buh bye.
Why would you not be friends? I have friends I very much disagree with.

Sorry you didn't understand what was a very easily understandable post. Big difference in disagreeing with friends about certain things & disagreeing with the fact that they're gay & married. How anyone cannot understand how that would affect a friendship is beyond me. Like I said, either said person is not a friend or they're just lying.

Default SJWs Won't Sway My Vote......Ever

As soon as Chick-Fil-A opens back up tomorrow, I think I'll just go grab a few chicken sandwiches.

Sorry, you said nothing different here. I have friends I very much disagree with. I do not have to agree with people to be their friends.

I've long supported gay marriage. I have friends that do not. I am religious. I have friends who are not. I have friends that I don't really understand how they believe what they believe, but we are still friends.

On occasion I have to snooze them on Facebook but they don't know that.

Let's put it this way. You happen to be black. Turns out your "friend" believes that African Americans should not have the right to vote. He even writes to his local representative about it, because he longs for the days of Jim Crow. Would you still be his friend? I mean a real friend, not just a friend on facebook that you can snooze periodically. Someone you actually hang out with.

I have a friend that we disagree pretty intensely on the role of religion and government. He even has a pretty big suit going on concerning this (but I happen to support him here).
