@thatkyliegirlx@xanga - Cicero was one of the great men of history, probably the greatest statesman in Roman history.

He used the same intellectual tradition (natural law) as the ancient Greeks 500 years earlier. And 1200 years later Saint Thomas Aquinas took up the torch as the Catholic Church endeavored mightily to preserve civilization.

Civil rights giant Martin Luther King (1960s) wrote his famous letter from the Birmingham jail and based his reasoning on natural law.  He even mentioned Saint Thomas Aquinas by name.

The United States of America, the greatest nation in the history of the world, was designed and built from scratch, using natural law.  That was the 1700AD.

So I am not just making things up like you are with the absurdity of gay marriage and gay rights. Your thinking has no tradition and no precedent in human history.  Therefore it is dangerously radical and irrational.

I have said it before and stick by it i only eat there on sunday.  I am bisexual, my recently passed sister in law was a lesbian, my best friend is bisexual, i personally know 4 or 5 gay men.  They are all wonderful honest hard working good people.  We may be different from you but it doesnt give anyone the right under their religion or not to disciminate against us or prevent us from being married and having the benifts of marriage or being happy together.  It is an assault on human rights to deny anyone happieness plain and simple there are examples of homosexuality, asexuality, heterosexuality, and even changing sex completely everywhere in nature!  We are animals of this earth and like other animals we have variations from the norm.  I keep running into this and the more i expierence such hatred the more i have come to realize that religion is toxic.  If you want to believe in a higher power thats fine, but to put your faith into a book written by man not a god is just insane to me.  If your someone who thinks gays will go to hell fine whatever think what you want, but that should not allow for us to be treated differently in any way under the law!!!

@PrisonerxOfxLove@xanga -      Like i said you can carry whatever opinion you or he would like but when you support anit gay organizations and political parties then yes it does affect all gays and lesbians.  Just recently a yong woman was fired for no real reason, her hours were cut and was eventually let go, she was a lesbian which the company did not know until after she aquired her job.  To anyone with a brain thats discrimination!

Chick-Fil-A routinely gives funds to anti-gay organizations "[…N]ew IRS 990 forms reveal that the company donated nearly two million dollars to anti-gay groups in 2009 alone" http://equalitymatters.org/factcheck/201111010001. ("Seems the liberals were looking to make trouble for them." Seems you wanted to generalize and point fingers.)

I'm perfectly fine with organizations holding opinions. However, when they enter the public sphere, they should not be surprised the public sphere responds (hence why I refuse to shop at Hobby Lobby).

Chick-Fil-A is restricting marriage for individuals and their ability to provide families with the same economic oportunities as heterosexual families as well as keeping them away from employment, further hurting those families (amongst other anti-gay causes).

Hence, the favor is being returned through boycott. Treat others as you wish to be treated.

The owner of Chic-Fil-A is entitled to his opinion. I give him credit for standing true to his beliefs and not being pressured by society to lie and pretend that he supports something he doesn't. After all, people are entitled to an opinion right? Why should his company be boycotted for an opinion? I think these people lashing out at Chic-Fil-A are being hypocritical, they think his opinion is hateful, well it's also hateful to think that he should be boycotted because of his beliefs. No one is forcing anybody to eat at Chic-Fil-A. It was like people being surprised when Kirk Cameron said he didn't support gay marriage, did they really expect, a guy as strong in his Christian beliefs as him, would support it? You can be against gay marriage without being homophobic, but people assume the worst. Eat there or don't, it's that simple. But don't take it overboard just because someone doesn't agree with you.

@TiredSoVeryTired@xanga - Thanks LOL! We have gay marriage here in Canada and nothing bad has happened. Let them get married.. How many couples actual value their marriage vows these days?? Gay couples fought for those rights, maybe they can help decrease the divorce rate a bit. 

@Adrenaline_Unknown@xanga - best.comment.EVER!

@thatkyliegirlx@xanga - Don't give them any ideas....

I love how the most avid poster in this world cites rulers who live centuries ago. Men who were hypocrites and bigots. Men who were ruthless and savage. Gay people are an abomination but war and genocide is okay?

Yeah. This convinces me wholeheartedly that Christianity is a loving religion.

Those 'christians' who speak out so much against this are participating in some serious sin themselves. Pride and judgement. The fact of the matter is, gay or straight... Black or white. Sinner or faithful, the only person who is allowed to judge us is God himself.

Not Cicero, who ever, and definitely not the creators of really badly fried chicken. Hows about we focus on the transfat in the food, or the fact that Chik-Fil-A has the dryest, grossest chicken sandwich the world has spewed out. Instead of bashing the gays, maybe that guy should be asking them for help on making his crappy food taste better.

(For the record, I did indeed just JUDGE a chicken sandwich.)

@LadyGwenivere@xanga - Then why didn't you recommend it?

@TheThoughtsofJake@xanga - please go find someone else to bother. im not interested.

I personally feel like a lot of the people who are supporting Chik-Fil-A or at the very least think those of us who choose not to eat there are overreacting is because they don't understand where we are coming from. I could care less what their official position is on the subject. If the CEO doesn't agree with my life or think I should get married so be it. That is the opinion of a lot of people in this world and I'm a supporter of individual liberty as well as the right to be ignorant. HOWEVER the reason that I am not giving them my money is not because of their opinion, it is because they give their money that they are getting from consumers to organizations so they can push the anti-gay agenda. It makes ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE for me to want rights I believe I'm entitled to as a citizen of a free country and then turn around and give money to a company that would love for me to be stripped of those rights. That is what this is about and that's what it's always been about. Those of us who cared to know, already knew about their stance years ago when we learned where their money was going. We acted accordingly.

I also want to point out that the AFA which is a very well known anti-gay organizations and whose President has blamed several world tragedies on gays has advocated the boycott of pro-gay right organizations as well so it's not like it's just a one-sided thing. When Google came out in support of marriage equality they advocated that their followers boycott Google which....is a stretch to say the least.

@JulyFire@xanga - Marriage is not a right.  

Human rights are not based on sexual proclivity.  They are based on our human nature and endowed to us by the Creator.

That's why the idea of gay marriage is so pernicious. It not only redefines marriage but it redefines human rights.

And in so doing it destroys them both.
