in a way FloridaPirate355 is right. right now it is "cool" to be gay, or support gay marriage and the gay lifestyle. but a few years from now that fad will pass, and there will be those that while they still claim to support gays, they will have generally forgotten about the issue. and those that "came out" as gay, will go back into the closet, or will be suddenly "cured" of being gay, and they will go on with their life. and those that are truly fay will continue on with their life in relative obscurity. oh the radical gays will still have their gay pride parades, but the attendance will be down the few hardcore activists and some non activist gays who are in the area or are otherwise able to attend, and the media might occasionally cover those events, as a side bar to the newest issues of the day. so yes, in a sense being gay is a fad right now, and as usual fads pass into obscurity, like the hula hoop and the frisbee, and the pet rock.
You really don't know anything about homosexuality, do you? Are you seriously comparing gay rights with hula hoops and pet rocks?
You know what will make the "fad" pass? Giving homosexuals equal rights in all things. Then nobody will talk about it any more.

read what i said again, i said NOTHING about gay rights. what i said was that there are those that "came out" of the closet because it is currently "cool" to be gay. and when it is no longer cool to be gay, they will either go back in the closet, or they will "be cured" of their homosexuality. and i didnt compare gay rights to hula hoops and pet rocks, i compared the fad of BEING gay to hula hops and pet rocks. try a reading comprehension class and the read what i wrote again.
The gays are banking their support on millineals but folks change when they get married and have kids. Just ask the Baby Boomers. A lot of people are going to scurry back to the traditional marriage side in due time.
Why would a straight person having a "traditional marriage" somehow exclude him from supporting the right of gay couples to also get married?
I don't see how a gay-marriage-supporting straight person getting married and having a kid will cause him to "scurry back" and suddenly change his mind into opposing gay marriage. How are you making that connection?
This is just my experience, but I have dozens of straight friends who supported gay marriage and who subsequently got married and had kids. Not a single one has scurried back the way you suggest they will.

...except it's NOT a fad. Just because you say it is, doesn't make it so.

there again it isnt about supporting or not supporting gay marriage, what will happen in time is that those that support gay marriage openly now, will fade into the background when their family lives start to envelope all their time, and while they may still support gay marriage, they wont be vocal about it as they are now.

Lol, exactly! I'm straight and had a traditional marriage. Why would I scurry back and oppose homosexuality? I always supported it. It doesn't make a lick of sense.
And? Again I ask you, where did he tell gay people not to buy his product? I'm reading his comments over again and I'm not seeing it anywhere.
AGAIN, he said if we don't like his message we won't buy his product. Which is exactly what is happening.
