The epic failure of the kiss-in
Here is what the Kiss In - - - is really about.
It is NOT a serious major organized group "ground zero" protest.
It is a light-hearted - - - fun - - show love protest.
Go to a Chick-fil-A - - with your opposite sex partner. Take a picture of yourself kissing your partner at Chick-fil-A. Post it on a website.
Some LGBT went right away when they heard about it - - some went on Friday - - it is on going. Pix are still being taken and posted on websites.

No, I'm talking about the LBGT reaction to the NEGATIVE response Oreo received, but then condoning their own NEGATIVE response to Chick-fil-A.
In essence, it's ok for them to hate on someone for their views and beliefs, but not ok for others to hate on someone they agree with for their views and beliefs.
And trust me, Annee does not have valid points - she has talking points that she plants as flags and uses as a sheild to keep from getting into "sticky" conversations.
Boycotts and Protests are rights protected by the Constitution - - as is Free Speech.
AGAIN - - - it is about the millions of dollars Mr. Cathy has donated to anti-gay organizations fighting to deny a minority group equal rights.

So equal rights is more about everyone having to swallow that gay people are married, not actually about their legal rights?
So all the hullabalou is just about forcing people to accepting something they dont agree with?
Civil Rights was forced.
Fantastic non-answer as usual, thanks!
You want complicated answers - - go to someone else. More words doesn't add or change anything.
Yes - - Equal Rights has to be forced.
Pretty damn pathetic.edit on 7-8-2012 by Annee because: (no reason given)

You want there to be a Federal Law of marriage that superimposes itself on top of states rights to self-governance because of a perceived injustice that nobody outside of political funding machines care about.
As in the Civil Rights Act - - As in the Disability Act - - As in the Fair Housing Act.
Federal - - - entire country equality.
If you don't like my simple answers - - not my problem. More words don't change anything.

Do you know why states have marriage rights? I do.
Why do I know states have marriage rights? Because I researched it.
Do I need to spell it out and provide links every single time State Marriage Rights comes up?
NO

oh, right--those arent retirement SAVINGS ACCOUNTS they are Insurance programs--SSI and Unemployment Insurance--y know, you pay in all your life and use it maybe once--while the Bankers and the FedGov make money on you when you pay into it....
if SSI and UI are something else other than Insurance scams , what is it?

but if you're allowed to get married in a state, the same way as heterosexual people do, then why all of a sudden if you move is it invalid. You are legally married, you just happened to do it in another state. You move to a state where it's illegal and they void your marriage?
