Chick-fil-A hates gays?

I think in a few decades all of you guys on the anti-gay marriage bandwagon are going to look pretty silly.

I'm not gay but if I was told that I wasn't allowed certain rights because I was part of a certain minority I would be get pretty pissed too... even if it was more symbolic than anything.

A huge part of the "American Dream" that gets drilled into everyone's head is the whole marriage thing and to say to a certain group of people "no you guys can't get married" is just downright cruel. It means a lot to people.

Forget about the fact that gays can't get married as that's a stupid idea in of itself.

Uh... why is it a stupid idea?

Sounds like you've just got some homophobia issues that you need to get over.

Further, all the idiot fucks cheering that shit on are going to be sad pandas when a conservative is in office and tells someone who's trying to open a gay bar to go get fucked because he doesn't believe in gay bars. They will be the first ones screaming and crying about it.

I haven't seen anything about Chick-Fil-A being told they couldn't open stores? Got a link to a story I can read?

Or are you just making shit up?

It's clear you still have prejudicial notions of the scary homos. I could say that most of them are just like you and me and would really like to be treated as such. But you know what? You won't believe me, so why don't you go down there and see for yourself? The point that I would be trying to make to my child (or anyone) is they are no different than us and it's your fear that makes them different. They want to be recognized as normal citizens with the same rights as everyone else.

The only way to truely understand that is to see it. Will there be gays making out, obnoxiously? Maybe, but that's not much different than what you see occasionally with straights. I have a feeling most will just be handholding and quick loving kisses.

When you see people expressing love and have a problem with this, it's time to seriously examine wtf is wrong with you.

Your reading comprehension is suffering. "Scary homos"?? I thought I made it pretty clear that I have absolutely no problem with gay people. Used to go with my ex girl friend to one of the biggest gay bars in orlando, fl.. dudes would buy me drinks and try to hit on me ... I'd say "I'm straight, that's my gf over there" and that was the end of it. They were all cool as hell and that bar was tons of fun bc it was such a friendly atmosphere (did get tired of listening to lady gaga on repeat though), point is I understand they are just normal people looking for love and happiness like everyone else, but my point still stands. You're obviously still thinking with your emotions. You should try logic.

Your reading comprehension sucks even more. You completely misinterpreted his post.
 
A major problem with declaring marriage a fundamental "right" as so many advocate is that it forms the foundation for the case that religious institutions should be forced legally to perform and allow gay marriage ceremonies.

Once its a "right" and is marriage, not a civil union, then the organizations will be "discriminating".

The agenda is leading to the undermining of religious freedom when you take it one step further and consider what is next.
 
this whole episode points out the absurdity of begging for validation/status/legitimization/approval from some jackass government or religious institution. straight or gay, its none of their business, just another way to sign up for servitude. cows at a trough.

I'll just leave this here, and say I fully agree with it:

imp-176 Paul Martin speech on same-sex marriage

Speech from Canada's previous Prime Minister to parliament, while same-sex marriage was being debated. It passed back in 2005, and guess what? The social fabric of Canadian society didn't collapse! Holy fuck, eh? Amazing.

Maybe you should research your laws that are being considered and how they are chipping away at religious freedom in Canada.

No one said it would happen overnight.
 
What laws specifically are chipping away religious freedoms in Canada?

No, can you maybe enlighten me? If it's actually happening, would love to know, but I just searched and can't find anything. There's the Omar Khadr case, and apparently his lawyers decided it was wise to discuss religious freedom in court, but that case has nothing to do with religious freedom. That has to do with Omar throwing grenades at Canadian and American soldiers in Afghanistan.

Then another article about some middle aged women in Winnipeg protesting to the Chinese government, with hopes China will allow their residents to practice "Falun Gong", whatever that is.

Other than that, can't find anything. Can you maybe enlighten me? I'd be pretty surprised to find out Canada is trying to surpress freedom of religion though, especially since Harper is still in power.

Do you maybe mean how Canada has ruled that Muslim communities need to abide by the Canadian criminal code, and can't replace it with Sharia law? Well, yeah... that's not limiting religious freedom though. That's just saying if you want to live in Canada, you have to abide by the laws of Canada. No gathering around, and stoning someone's wife to death allowed in Canada. :)
 
This is WF, can't I just say stuff without substantiation? It's just STS onan internet forum after all.

I was primarily referring to the hate crime accusations against any religious mention of the Bible's stance on homosexuality. But it appears that even Canada is likely to repeal (or already has) their HRC stance on this.

But reading this Canadian Human Rights Commission :: Home :: Resources :: Legislation it is a clear stance on any Biblical application against Homosexuality is "discrimination" and subject to enforcement.

this nation was founded on a set of religious beliefs and morals and the further we drift away from that foundation the weaker we become and the more susceptible we are to falling right off the edge of that cliff of which we are currently teetering. That's how nations fall, they lose their values first

Surely you're not implying that we wouldn't have values and morals without religion.

Surely you're not implying that...

Since there are posts in this thread that use that statement as the foundation of their arguments:

"the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion"
- The Treaty of Tripoli, 1796, submitted by President John Adams and ratified by the Senate

There is no religious foundation to drift away from, so this is not even possible.
