It’s hard to read about...Civil Rights... without playing a game of ‘what would I have done?’ ...
This spring when Obama described his “evolution”... I felt like I could relate...
When... people rise up and demonstrate their commitment to their rights... how do you say no to them in good conscience?
... one is inevitably reminded of the Civil Rights Movement. The pattern of non-violent resistance adopted by Martin Luther King had a complex beauty, operating at one time on so many levels...
The Civil Rights Movement placed the burden of black suffering squarely on the plates of people all over the country who otherwise felt that they had no part in Jim Crow oppression. It forced citizens [to choose sides]...
I can still make an esoteric argument that gay marriage is meddling or social engineering or whatnot, but I have lost my ability to put my soul behind it. Maybe you can sit across the table from a beloved friend and tell them that your straight family is more legitimate, more right, more legally and politically appropriate than theirs. Perhaps you can look into the eyes of people you care for and respect and explain that providing their children with the full legal protection of an official family would threaten something...
I am not going to do that. Eat your sandwich alone.
Before you put down that shake and reach for your Bible, let’s make something clear. According to the Bible, marriage is a sacred covenant between one man, one woman, his additional wives, his slaves, his wives’ slaves, his concubines, virgins he’s caught raping, and any women he happens to capture in battle...
This week that line of dead-enders stretches out the door of the Chick-fil-A.
Enjoy that sandwich. Your grandchildren will be so proud.

So then, because he doesn’t want to tell a homosexual face to face that he opposes homosexual marriage, that means he now favors homosexual marriage.
And, because of the “right side of history” argument, which has become part of the homosexual marriage message, he would be ashamed to look back years from now and say that he was against homosexual marriage.
Wow, those sound like deep reasons to decide to be in favor of homosexual marriage. (sarcasm)
Unless the pervs can prove that screw came lose in their brains before they were born, I'm not buying it. Until then, these freaks are more like asylum patients than anything. Isn't it time we sent them back to the nut house so the American people and their children can live safety and in peace again?
Good people in this country can't even walk the streets safely these days, especially the innocent young boys. Parents have to hover over and protect their little loved ones every minute. If you simply believe homosexual sodomy is a mental disease (which has led to AIDS and other deadly diseases), these animals go rabid and start trying to eat your flesh. They have to be beaten off with a stick.
The critical, egregious mistake you make is calling "whatever" a "family."
I agree with your sarcasm.
And the gay agenda keeps on hammering away with the “you will go down on the wrong side of history” mantra, and this guy bought it hook, line, and sinker.
So we are the loony bigots now, and we can eat those sandwhiches alone. Sorry, not feeling any shame.
The worst mistake America has ever made was to release them from the mental institutions. Behavior like this is what kept them there. The American people and their children were much safer because of it.
Giving them different drinking fountains and bathrooms is not a "racial" issue. It's a public safety issue. The segregated fountains would stop the dangerous spreading of their spit, and the private bathrooms would keep their orgies, nasty body excretions, AIDs filled used condoms, and boy rapes apart from the bathrooms used by the normal segments of society.
.
And of course the comparison with blacks. How does one put gays in the same category with an ethnic group, and ethnic group whose civil rights are specifically protected by the Constitution? In segregating blacks, the states were continuing to abide by the standards of Dred Scott, a decision of the supreme Court which the country intended to overthrow when ratifying the 14th Amendment. But the courts consistently told us that the terms of that amendment did not apply even to women. So by what logic, is it supposed to apply to a group identified only by their sexual behavior? One can respect the civil rights of prostitutes even as we outlaw their behavior. Ditto, adulterers and pedophiles.
Right. Sit across from a gay and tell him “his family” - which family? The one he created using an egg donor and a surrogate womb, from a woman who had to sell herself for his big gay bucks? And the child who will have to be told this by his two Daddies? Maybe such a family is NOT a good idea after all???
Homos already have equal marriage rights. Homo men are free to marry any woman who will have them just like normal men are. Homo women are free to marry any man who will have them just like normal women are.
What the mean spirited militants want is a new right. Granted, this new right would apply to normal people as well as to perverts, but it is still a new right. The right to marry applies to everyone equally NOW and there is no need to create a new right.
Blacks weren’t asking for new rights. The civil rights movement was about access to existing rights.
During the Chic Fil A Appreciation day, no one ate alone. Americans came together as a family for the first time in decades.
During the homo street on orgy Friday, a few radicals stood on corners, but they were, without a doubt, the loneliest people in the world.
Hopefully, someday, they'll see the light and readmit themselves voluntarily. It would be the best thing they could ever do for themselves - and their country.
Sorry, not a civil rights question dudes.

HIV is not spread by saliva...but I rarely use drinking fountains due to the myriad of other germs which are spreadable.
When you eat your Chick Fil-A alongside those who support the restaurant & its CEO’s defense of traditional values, you’re never alone, despite what this idiot columnist thinks.
Yesterday’s nationally proclaimed gay kiss-in was a pathetic fizzle. Gives hope for Election Day.
Not true. All there needs to be is a touch of blood in their mouth from their partners anal tearing, and you're dead.
Yep, agreed. And yeah, what a dud yesterday turned out to be.
Well, they sure did fizzle out yesterday.
And true aug 1 was a great display of unity and solidarity.
And if they had just stopped at civil unions, this point of anger wouldn’t have been reached. As the old adage says, “The bird who flies up attracts the hunter.”
Marriage is a religious institution. If you look for the marriage records of your ancestors, you find them recorded in churches and other religious institutions. That is the ONLY place you can find them.
Marriage is about stability. The children in our country are in trouble. The ones that come from single family homes are in the biggest trouble. The children from same-sex homes crave the attention of the gender of the missing parent. They know something is missing instinctively.
Same-sex marriage is not the end-goal. I am not sure what it is, but I can guarantee if they win this one, the next step in their fight will start immediately; as it was with DADT in the military.
The media has brainwashed a majority of the country into believing the Christians and Republicans hate homosexuals. The people who saw the Chick-Fil-A appreciation day as a movement of hate were told that by the media. Show me one picture of hate expressed that day. There could be one, but I haven't seen it.
Love the sinner, hate the sin. They are attacked marriage and we are defending it peaceably.
If they had blood in their mouth, their own saliva kills the virus ...their spit landing on you will not give you aids. Their blood coul give you aids but would have to enter an open cut on your body which is nill. You are really pushing straws here. It is near impossible/extremely difficult to get HIV other than sharing needles from drug use and anal sex and some vaginal sex.
He’s also buying the left’s definition of “love”. If he really loved his friend he would not stand aside or encourage that person’s destruction.
The fact is those who have no love in them will abandon others to whatever destructive winds blow. It’s no skin off his nose.
