I do not believe we are fallen creatures. I do not see civilization decaying - - I see it changing.

Take Hate Off the Plate
A renowned chef (and fried chicken fan) responds to Chic-Fil-A's opposition to gay marriage
Art Smith | August 14, 2012
Recently, Chick-Fil-A CEO Dan Cathy had some unkind things to say about gay families, and a lot of people (present company included) didn’t care for his comments one bit. That shouldn’t surprise you: I’m a gay man, I’m married, I’m from the South — raised in a Southern Baptist family — and I’m a chef. So an Atlanta-based fast food baron talking about how he understands the Bible enough to say that my life and marriage isn’t legitimate doesn’t sit well with me.
A lot troubles me about this debate, but beyond the cherry-picking of scriptures to reinforce bigotry or the message that hateful rhetoric sends to young LGBT kids, there’s an element of this discussion that cuts away at a something that I’ve held dear my whole life: the ability of food to bring people together. It’s a sad state when “comfort food” tears communities apart, making so many people feel attacked and unwanted.

ok show me.
show me proof this decent man ever donated money to the kkk or american nazi party.
i get the impression when you say hate group, you actually mean religious groups who dont agree with your lifestyle choices and who dont want you marrying in their churches.
proving beyond doubt the lgbt agenda to define christianity as hate speech.
its also telling that you refuse to answer me everytime i ask why the lgbt presure groups are not protesting muslims outside mosques, after all you dont have an agenda against christians right?

No, she'll point you to a Christian group that he donated to, that then at some point was loosley linked to lobbying the US government to not condemn Uganda's law of executing gays.

I assume he's referring to your blanket statement about "hate groups"... not recognizing your super duper reputable source....

Annee, you brought up the Family Research Center being "officially" a hate group, they're a "hate group" because your source references their support of Uganda's bill...

Adam Lambert: Did Chick-fil-A Cost Him the Idol Win?
A Chick-fil-A franchise owner in Arkansas spent thousands of dollars and gave away free food to encourage customers to vote against Adam Lambert on American Idol.
BY Jeremy Kinser - August 15 2012
A Chick-fil-A franchise owner in Arkansas spent thousands of dollars and gave away free food to encourage customers to vote against Adam Lambert on American Idol, according to an op-ed published on Yahoo.
Lambert was considered by many to be a shoo-in to win season 8 of the musical competition series but lost unexpectedly to Kris Allen, a native of Conway Arkansas. The small town is also home to Allen Kiser, owner of the local Chick-fil-A franchise, who mounted an intense campaign to affect the outcome of American Idol in favor of Allen rather than Lambert, who was presumed to be gay but hadn't officially revealed his sexual orientation.
According to Yahoo contributor Kerry Kolsch, "week after week people gathered to vote at Chick-fil-A sponsored events. It was not just ordinary voting, but power texting with multiple phones and after-hour voting with west coast go-phones. Voters were encouraged to vote thousands of times each with free food and prizes. It was an appealing incentive in this sleepy collage town."

Hmmm... Well - considering the guy who won was a
Very outspoken Chrisitan, this may also be inferred as he encouraged people to vote FOR the other guy. This is a "half full or half empty" argument that is twisted to fit one's particular agenda.
