Jeez, another insecure person whose "sancitity" will be affected by another couple's personal relationship.

They are not being "discriminated."

It will take time for gay marriages to become acceptable in our society, just like it took time for interracial marriages, where people no longer faint when they see an interracial couple.
Even if it were "acceptable," a sin is still a sin. Again, stop trying to compare it with race.

i think free speech is a good thing, but I think it's more a cultural thing than really supporting morality and sanctity of marriage... the only morals someone should be worried about is their own.. and the only marriage someone should be concerned for it's sanctity is their own..
Supporting actions against other's ability to marry and live their lives equally under the law is indeed discrimination. Now, anyone can sit and tell themselves that they're being jesus's little helper on this all to make it sit right in their mind.. but it doesn't make them right.. or make it a noble thing to do. It looks really bad and hateful. very unchristian IMO

I've been food poisoned one too many times by Chic Fil A to ever eat there again. The last time had me puking for a week and the doctor told me that they're one of the worst fast food chains for food poisoning cases.

That'll make you not eat anywhere no matter what the political views of the company!

Traditional marriage: One man and one woman. Only.

Great logic.
It's not "denying one groups of citizens the same rights of another."

And, yes, it is great logic. Glad you agree!

What about all the mocking of religious people/anti-religious bigotry by the gay movement?
Who the hell are you or anyone else to pat yourself on the back for "compromising" when it comes to another persons civil rights and personal life? What freakin' chutzpah!

Well your boycott makes sense. I never shop at Best Buy anymore either because they tried to rip me off on a sat dish years ago. They get no more of my dollars.
