OP, if you are gay and you vote for a Republican anything, you should rethink that. They seriously hate you and they just got their state to prove it in the form of a 60/40 vote.

Hopefully, IT and other progressive companies considering North Carolina will take what has just happened into consideration when they are deciding where to locate their company and choose another state.

If you used your own eyes, you would see that on this forum anyone who does not agree with the gay agenda is labeled a 'hater'.

How about leaving them alone? They don't effect me and they don't effect you. How about letting them live their lives and you live yours?

Look at the reaction here about the NC vote. They say "they seriously hate gays" just because the vote didn't go their way. That is exactly what I am talking about. If people do not comply to their demands, then they accuse you of hatred, and that is BS. They routinely come over to the Christianity forum to accuse Christians of hatred and judgmentalism. Yes, if they left other people alone, then maybe they would be left alone too. If yo go around picking fights, then you usually get what you looked for.

I'm not gay but I have two gay work associates (who knows, maybe more). These are good and very smart people that don't deserve the evil thrown their way. This law reaches out to not only say "you cannot marry", it says "you cannot have any legal arrangement whatsoever". That is HATE. That is attacking them for no reason. You can't excuse it, there is no excuse. You can blame religion but the Taliban thought what they were doing was based on religion too.

It seems your intent is to strike someone then cry as if you were wounded.

Nah.

The gay vote is a small but noisy group.

Speaking out against gay marriage does not make one "anti gay".

So you will be legislating religion next? Making church a requirement? Praying five times a day? Will women be required to cover their heads in your world? See? It's only a matter of degrees.

Yes it does. So does making a law that says gays not only cannot marry, they cannot have any sort of legal arrangement whatsoever. That is extremely anti-gay and it is hostile and antagonistic to a minority of American citizens that work, pay taxes and did nothing to you.
