Chik-Fil-A Boycott? Grow up....

OK MY FEATHERS HAVE BEEN RUFFLED. I MUST VENT.

What I commented on that pic I just shared about chic fil a...

@ Jessica Bibbee Who is supporting hate? If i am the owner of Chic Fil A and I don't support porn... but I don't discriminate against ppl who do... and I make great food. should all the porn watchers of America boycott me? I think what America needs to understand is that "not supporting" and "hate' are not synonymous.. I can NOT SUPPORT vegetarianism but not HATE vegans... That's where it comes down to the issue of freedom of speech. He was asked his opinion and he answered honestly. Not to mention EVERYONE knows Chic Fil A is founded by religious individuals which is why they are closed on Sunday. Tell me... where is the "hate" in that?

Support: (verb) to bear all or part of the weight of; hold up. While I don't support something someone is doing or their lifestyle, it doesn't mean I hate their lifestyle or hate them as an individual. Hate is a strong word.

NOW ON TO GAY MARRIAGE.

Definition of Marriage: the state of being united to a person of the opposite sex as husband or wife in a consensual and contractual relationship recognized by law.

(boycott Mirriam Webster too because they must be bigots to for publishing that hateful definition)

Might I ad that marriage is a religious institution and homosexuality goes against one of the core religious beliefs of most main religions. Why are they trying to force their lifestyle into mold where it doesn't fit? A institution that was founded centuries ago? I always say that's like a black person outraged and boycotting because they cannot hold a position at the KKK headquarters. To even get married in a church is an oxymoron. A gay church even.

Should you have the same rights? Sure. If 2 unmarried people live together for a certain amount of years they automatically are considered in the eyes of the law as married. Why can't a same sex couples be afforded those same rights?

I think the days of gay HATE are dwindling. Acceptance of homosexuality is widespread. But as long as religion exists it will never be supported. But that is OUR choice. To NOT support. One lady commented that she didn't support most of the things her daughter did; but she didn't love her any less and definitely didn't HATE her. Even if she was gay!

The same scenario here. I think people use any excuse to run a muck and get away with it by media backing and public scandal. Everyone loves a good story. A chance to be a vigilante. Let's all keep a calm head here...
