The federal government does not yet recognize gay marriage, because doing so would (almost) force all states to recognize it.

You're being an absolute jackass and you need to stop. I wouldn't normally say anything but not only are you being flippant, rude and ridiculous, but now thanks to this post you're off topic. Could you at least make your trolling somewhat interesting instead of being childish?

Not that it matters but, there is a newish chic-fil a on my path that I was thinking of trying. I won't bother now that I am aware, (neither will my wife). We choose to not fuel the hate machine. There has to be 20 other places to eat along the way so I don't think we will be the ones missing out in the end.

Well, the LGBT community seemed to condemn (in my opinion) the people that criticized Oreo and threatened a boycott for not being tolerant and open-minded (thus insinuating that they were these traits). Yet when the shoe was on the other foot, they turned around and demonstrated that they had none of those traits either when something they disagreed with presented itself.
Thus - Hypocrisy.

They are criticizing people for being hateful towards gay people. That is why there is no hypocrisy. Voting with your money is fine, and those of you who are against homosexuality are free to never buy another oreo or whatever it was again- and we're allowed to call you closed minded bigots for it.
We're allowed to never eat at Chick-Fil-A again, and you're allowed to call us... whatever derogatory thing you want to call us for it. Neither of us are going to change. Both are valid. There is no hypocrisy, nor irony here.edit on 7-8-2012 by cetaphobic because: (no reason given)

1% of the Country HATES gays
1% of the Country IS gay
98% of the Country couldnt give a rats ass what you do in your house.
The 2% in the extreme sides of the spectrum also require each other to exist to convince the money(vote)(power), of the 98%--both of the minorities (2%) have to work REALLY hard to convince the rest of the 98% to be on their side.
or im oversimplifing.

The president donates to causes that actively kill homosexuals.
I think that's enough reason to skip their chicken sandwiches.

Makes me just LOL. They are so brain washed they have no concept of what they are even saying.
YAWN
why are you even talking about this crap on ATS? this isnt a conspiracy. This is your own beliefs. It just shocks me when people post such anti gay stuff and yet they see it differently than posting about black people or another minority.. Yet... We, the gays, are the hypocrites. LMAO!
also, 5% of the population is gay, not 1%. Not a huge difference, but worth mentioning.

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.

Majority rule - huh? That's your stand.
Well - - sucks for you America is a Democratic Republic not a Democracy.
