Okay, let's try this again. Regardless of one's opinions, religious or otherwise, no one has the right to deny others their rights. All this crap about traditional marriage is nothing more than people who dislike gays trying to keep them from getting the rights they deserve. This is no different than when religious people were against integration because they believed that blacks were animals, that a black skin was the curse of Cain and countless other idiotic beliefs. Despite what you make like to believe, gays do not want to take over the world. They want the same benefits that straight couples get. Nothing more, nothing less. Of course these are the ramblings of a gay-homo militant extremist, so I expect they will be ignored.

Which is where this gets interesting (And a bit sticky)....

For the most part, these mayors are just giving their own opinion too... (ie, we don't want the businesses of homophobes in our city)... this would be a wash then, business owner can open their business, mayor can say we don't want it here. It's when the mayor tries to do something to actually stop the business that the ACLU then gets involved (damn those evil christian protectors! and the next damn time I hear someone bitch about the ACLU never trying to protect christian opinions...). Like I said earlier, I'd be hard pressed to say what's actually "right" here, let alone "legal". But I'd feel the same way about the issue if the aryan brotherhood tried opening a burger joint. Sooo... big win ChickFilA, on the same level as the skinheads.

So you're a good facist Victor?


As long as its your cause a citizens rights don't mean anything to you.

Americans have a right to have an idiotic opinions, we all support you to have yours.


And yes the ACLU is a liberal orginization that tends to not represent religious or 2nd ammendment cases. Hitler madr the trains run on time, that make him a swell guy?

Gays already have the exact same right to marry someone of the opposite sex.

Perhaps a little back ground on Chik-Fil-A and its owner who has, according to people here, done nothing but state his opinion, would prove interesting. In 2010, Chik-Fil-A gave over $2 million dollars to anti-gay groups such as the Family Research Council (FRC). The FRC is listed as an anti-gay hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, a non profit civil rights organization that keeps track of hate groups in the United States. Quoting from the SPLC site, "The Family Research Council (FRC) bills itself as “the leading voice for the family in our nation’s halls of power,” but its real specialty is defaming gays and lesbians." Another group suppported by Chik-Fil-A was Exodus International, a group which advocates reparative or conversion therapy which operates on the basis that through therapy you can become "ex-gay". According to the American Psychological Association, such therapy "for gays is useless and harmful." Additionally the man who was just stating an opinion on marriage admitted in an interview with Forbes magazine that things he considered sinful were reason enough for terminating an employee. Despite the company's claims they treat all employees the same, they do not offer gay employees the same benefits they offer straight ones.

As so often happens here, since most of you won't like the facts, they will be irrelavent to the topic at hand and so I apologize for wasting your time.

Moping and pouting? LMAO. Not hardly. Trying to enlighten the uneducated masses. Only mistake was forgetting a very old saying. Bigotry is not reasoned into a person and so can not be reasoned out.
