Legally is all that matters, but legal equality is not what is sought, acceptance is.
I doubt seriously that you are ever going to change the mindset of all humans - as a MAJORITY of HUMANS believe "marriage" is between one man and one woman.
Good for them. I supported those who ate at Chick-Fil-A yesterday and I support those who will be participating in the "kiss-in."
One would assume that the "kissers" will be required to buy something like the supporters from yesterday or face loitering charges. You cant just occupy a food establishment and not purchase anything.

Don't have to change the mindset of all humans. That's of no consequence. The only people we honestly have to convince at this point is the supreme court.

That is true. They either need to buy something or they need to do it off the property.
Actually, if you read, I pretty much call people on both sides willfully ignorant.
They may be on "my side" as much as they don't want to financially support CFA, but they go too far into the realm of douchebaggery. You may attribute their words or actions to me, but that's like saying Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton speak for all black people. Protip: They don't.
They're just the most vocal and it's easier for people to fall prey to composition than to take each person as an individual.
I've never once stated that the actual action of donating money is bigoted or discriminatory. Now, the organizations in question I find to be bigoted and discriminatory as they willfully discriminate against homosexuals with lies, propaganda, etc.
In fact, this entire situation of "Support CFA Day" is a perfect example of lies and propaganda coming from a series of fallacies, especially things like your repeated use of Composition Fallacy.
You have not once actually responded to my actual position on CFA - instead using your composition to commit a red herring to a person whom I completely disagree with (and have stated so at least a dozen times).
So here it is, I'll say it again: I completely support CFA 100% to say or do as they want. The actual beliefs in question are of no matter to me. I just do not want my money, in the form of company profits, even one penny, going to organizations like FRC or Exodus. I am not going to request or demand CFA to stop making these donations in any way shape or form because it is their right as a business. I will just merely refrain from making purchases at any CFA store until CFA as a company makes the decision to change themselves.
There is a difference between Freedom of Speech and Freedom From Consequence. You may say anything you want without criminal sanction. That's a guaranteed right. However there still be societal, personal and social consequences.
You get to say whatever you want. You don't get to prohibit others from reacting to it.
Indeed. I just don't see them buying anything since they are supposed to be boycotting the company so must be doing it off the property but then again they could be clogging sidewalks and impeding traffic.

You can change the "legalities" all you want - that will not equate to changing the mindset of the human race - a majority of which believe firmly that the word "marriage" denotes a relationship between one man and one woman.
