Contrary to what certain small factions of the left and the right want everyone to believe, MOST people in this country (regardless of political affiliation) don't care one way or another about gay people, are not 'against' gay people, and just would like everyone to go about their business and get along.

How does gay rights shirts tell anyone who someone wants to have sex with? You do know there are celibate gays and asexual gays, and married to the opposite sex gays, etc. who still might want the protections of civil rights, correct?

Wanting to be protected from getting fired for being gay has nothing to do with who one wants to have sex with.

You talk crap about how other people have no tolerance and are ignorant...and then you yourself say something stupid and intolerant about rural communities.

Nice. Not ironic whatsoever.

Don't believe what one yokel says.

How do gay rights parades tell anyone who someone wants to have sex with?

BTW, government should not be in the business of legislating who and for what reason a company fires someone.

Stores don't give a rats butt about equality.

The only thing they care about is the almighty dollar.

If people would buy shirts promoting sex with a hamster, they would also sell that.

I'd rather see these companies provide comparable employee benefits for these companies' employees and dependents than all of these gay t-shirts.
