This makes me laugh and feel sad at the same time. All those lives wasted.

the only way to show the world that our lives are not appropriate fodder for debate are to tell our individual stories.

Let' review. It's not appropriate for folks to talk about your lives. The way to remedy that is ... talk about your lives.

Yeah, I think we lost. While Chick-fil-A probably lost the LGBT part of their market, they're not licking their wounds about it. No one learned any lessons on either side and the divide between us with regard to LGBT people remains as wide as it ever was.

Your damn right you lost, Abby, because this was a fight YOU started, that never needed to be fought. It really was a simple case of a devout Christian just voicing his personal views, and the HomoNazis decided to try to destroy his family business. And they pressured their political allies to join in on the bullying, this time adding illegal political pressure to try to get a Christian to renounce his beliefs.

What you've managed to do is lose and lose big. Because you managed to unite devout Christians and other people of faith, and then bringing people who didn't really give a damn, one way or another, about so called "homosexual rights," along with civil libertarians who actually care about individual religious rights, and you managed to REALLY piss us off at you. Any time you raise your head to speak your mind now, people are going to be VERY cynical and wary of anything you say.

Simply put, you and yours tried using the same tactics the Nazi Brownshirts used against Jews (and the communists) in 1930s Germany. And that really pisses many of us off.

And you're very wrong on 2 points. Number one, lessons WERE learned, and you managed to open the eyes of many people who USED TO BE SYMPATHETIC to your cause, which brings up the second point. You're VERY WRONG saying "the divide is as wide as ever." You've managed to open a fissure into the grand canyon. The divide you created by labeling traditional people of faith as "haters" and family groups as "hate groups" has probably set your cause back at least a decade.

What the gay community doesn’t understand, is that spending our money is part of our first amendment right. We, as well as Cathy have the right to donate to which ever charity that we wish. The Supreme Court agrees with this when they recently upheld the decision about donating to political parties and campaigns.

>>Yeah, I think we lost<<

As always, the liberal left (OK, an admitted redundancy), sees itself as “we.” The geys are a tiny % — less than 2%,,

WE won. We (the non-gay 98%) made it clear we understand what marriage” is and why it is important as a stabilizing force.

If you want to send you5r gay-supporting libtards screaming into the night, ask this simple question: “why 2?”

I have yet to get an answer and I have a nephew who is self-identified as gay. He can’t answer that question.

This brings me to the second big lesson we can learn: the only way to show the world that our lives are not appropriate fodder for debate are to tell our individual stories.

This is the part that gets me, they scream that their private life are private, and yet want to BROADCAST it to everyone, and DEMAND that you like and accept it.

the LGBT community is frighteningly intolerant of traditional values.

Amen.

“Thomas Beatie’s (once dubbed the “pregnant man”) divorce court struggles due to Arizona’s confusion about his gender,”

I’m thinking Arizona isn’t the only one confused in this situation...

>> First, never let anyone tell you that supporting bigotry means supporting free speech.

FO, asswipe. The 1st Amendment is NOT subject to your pathetic, self-serving interpretation.

Not only THAT-—define bigotry. How can it be BIGOTRY to call an unnatural, debasing, vile behavior— what it really is?-—EVIL.

It is Common Sense-—not “bigotry”. Religion and Natural Law Theory—both allow us to define what is Right and Wrong-—and both say it is a vile, unnatural act of idolatry and immaturity.

More of the destruction of the language by these followers of that Communist Harry Hay, who was sodomized as a boy and wanted the “Right” for all people to commit sodomy legally-—like they did in Ancient Greece—which includes the pederasty, always, because it is learned behavior from child abuse.

Mongol General: Hao! Dai ye! We won again! This is good, but what is best in life?
Mongol: The open steppe, fleet horse, falcons at your wrist, and the wind in your hair.
Mongol General: Wrong! Conan! What is best in life?
Conan: To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women.
Mongol General: That is good! That is good.

The author is pathetic. It appears she thinks the Chick-Fil-A episode had something to do with “free speech”. (Of course, the author also probably agreed with Sheryl Crow a few years ago when she claimed that Walmart’s decision to not stock her CD was a suppression of her “free speech”. One of the songs on Crow’s CD smeared Walmart, by name, for selling firearms.)

Normal Americans noticed that the guy who runs Chick-Fil-A supports traditional family values and puts his money where his mouth is. Normal Americans noticed this ONLY BECAUSE militant homosexual activists brought it (loudly) to the public’s attention for the purpose of expressing self-righteous outrage and calling for a boycott and promoting gay “marriage”. (Most people will sympathize with us, won’t they?)

They love to stick a thumb in the eye of normal, traditional Americans (or “breeders”, as they’re known in the gay “community”.)

And so the public took sides. And Chick-Fil-A won in a landslide because most of the public is still comprised of normal Americans who have been creeped out - - naturally, instinctively, creeped out - - by homosexuality since they were little kids. And most grew up to believe that a penis is just not meant to lay in a pile of another man’s sh**.

There’s a reason homos stay in the closet. It’s because they’re ashamed of themselves. (The only reason homos throw “pride parades” is to promote the self delusion that they are not actually ashamed of themselves.) They are ashamed of themselves because they realize fully that they are anthema to nature’s plan for survival of species. They are sexual deviates. Perverts.

“Free speech”? That was barely a sidebar in the Chick-Fil-A story.
