People are sick of being told not only what they can say, but how they must think.

Maybe it's time for GLAAD to acknowledge that religious freedom is protected as well, and like it or not, every major religion views the act as a sin.
God will you people get over yourselves? Why is it so hard to grasp that the man, A&E, GLAAD, Cracker Barrel, and anybody else all have the right to express themselves as they wish and respond to others as they want. You're ranting and raving about free speech but only want it to apply to speech that you approve of.

Why do you support legal discrimination against your fellow citizens?
How does a religious view translate into discrimination? You have the live as you please, but people shouldn't be forced to like or accept it. You disrespect religious views constantly, making you the one ready to discriminate.


I think this is great! Walmart is selling out of Duck Dynasty products. Over twenty million Facebook views in the last few days. I'm thinking GLAAD stepped into a huge mess and awoke a sleeping giant this time.

Exactly.

The only ones trying to suppress anything has been GLAAD. GLAAD and the progressive left thought they could use this to attack religious views, and it's backfiring. I'd say it's you who are full of something.

Once you add the restriction ("the person of the opposite sex"), you are legalizing discrimination.

So you admit that you support legal discrimination against your fellow citizens.

Just has everybody had the right to marry a person of the same race under interracial marriage bans. Everybody had that legal right.

And that is not equal protection of the law. It is also discrimination based on the gender of the people getting married.

Not trying to suppress anything, he already said it didn't he? Nobody is attacking his religious views, but religious freedom that doesn't mean he should have a platform to spout his nonsense. The same crowd yelling religious freedom are the ones crying when we recognize that not everybody celebrates Christmas.

Since when is an direct call for, or an incitement of, violence a requirement for one to hate?

Hate:
a: intense hostility and aversion usually deriving from fear, anger, or sense of injury
b: extreme dislike or antipathy : loathing

Sticks and stones v. words.....


Because I dislike what your doing, doesn't mean I hate you.
