Playing Chicken with Gay Marriage

[shrewsbury]

I think most would consider a homosexual as a lliberal, thus having the ability to reason and understand their are people with a different opinion than them, and some of these people take it to the extreme and are way at of place. and it is not all of us christians that hate them. it is not all chik fil a employees that hate them, not every cL customers hate them, some just need a job and others are hungry.

the amount of christian and christian churches that are teaching hatred towards gays is not the majority, also most Christians do not have a burning hatred for homosexuals. some may not agree but do not judge, some will judge, some will get carried away, and others will care less about someones sexuality

If that was the truth they would be put through the hell that they are, its easy for us to deny it but you look at the whole big picture and it says otherwise.

Let me ask my conservative friends this. If this chick fila guy instead of giving his money to people who support same sex marriages gave his money to groups that support same race marriage (outlawing interracial marriage) would you feel the same way? Why or why not?

I can't answer that, but I have a question for the liberals (the way liberal seems to be defined, I can't call myself one anymore).
I'm assuming CFA has been making these donations for quite some time. This debacle is fairly new. So, why are you up in arms and protesting only after the statement if CFA and other companies, have been making these donations for years?
I only ask because that's why it looks like you're protesting free speech.

I can't speak for anyone but myself but I am going to go on and add my two cents. I support and defend everyone's first amendment right to freedom of speech and freedom of religion even if it includes speech (like the chik fil a guy's) or a religion that I don't agree with such as devil worship. Most of us were ignorant of where the chik fil a guy was donating his money. But know that we know we are going to protest with our wallets. I am not gay but I do believe in the words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr that "injustice for some is injustice for all."

So if the only reason to not boycott before was ignorance, are you now researching what other companies make similar donations? And if not, why?

I know that some companies walmart comes to mind support causes that I am against and if I had a choice not to support their business I will. However it is not feasabile to boycott everything because as you all know we are share 6 degrees of seperation.

How do you decide which companies then? Is it just what the media spoonfeeds you or is it pure convenience?

Of course you have to take what you hear in the media with a grain of salt and do your own research but the chik fil a guy came out and laid all his cards on the table. While disagree with his views I respect him for speaking his mind. That being said I wonder what his views on interacial marriage or lets say 40-50 years ago what would have been his views on desegregation.

So only when a CEO speaks his mind, it gets reproted and you disagree?

Is your messages that CEOs shouldn't speak?
No offense but I'm starting to see the conservative side of this.
