ita- I don't even really understand what is happening, but it is irritating me. I hate it when people ask me that same question again and again after I have answered it.
I also have to stop reading comments on Chik-fil-A articles, or I am going to punch people in the face. Not even for being bigots, but for being idiots! How is this a free speech issue? Free speech doesn't mean that you are free from the consequences of your speech! If people choose to think you are an asshole, whatever. Also, these people are free to support Chik-fil-A, as well. Whatever, they are assholes, too! But saying that supporting Chik-fil-A has nothing to do with homophobia, and everything to do with this POOR MAN AND HIS BUSINESS BEING PERSECUTED is asinine. PERSECUTED!?!?!
Uh huh. And the Civil War had nothing to do with slavery.
I'm pretty sure anyone who isn't eating a Chik-Fil-A sandwich right now hates freedom and everything America stands for. I mean, I'm not a Constitutional scholar or anything, but I'm pretty sure that's in the First Amendment. Or maybe the Patriot Act. It was definitely something the Founding Fathers felt strongly about, anyway.
Businesses are way more important than people.
You weren’t at the Chicago F2F, Strix?
Heh. I organized it and missed my grandma's funeral for it! I don't THINK dcp was there; was Liese?
FWIW, I drank copiously at Chicago F2F, and discovering that the medical fetish stuff at that one sex shop was a THING killed some brain cells with EW SHOCK YUCK...so I may misremember. And it was one of our bigger F2F's.
Liese was at the Chicago F2F.
ION, I just walked a half mile in the oppressive humidity so that I could have a decent chicken sandwich. I’m too damned suggestible.
This is one of the things that sort of makes me hate the internet- we don't have Chik-fil-A, and I probably would not have heard about it if it wasn't for the internet. And now I am mad and I hate being mad!
One woman actually said "I am against gay marriage as I don't think gay sex could be anything like real sex. That doesn't mean I am homophobic! I don't hate gay people!"
Well, um, Liese, sorry? Too much candy? A tight corset that took blood flow from my memory-retention neurons? Gimlets!
Them's my excuses and I'm stickin' to it. But I'll see you (again!) in a about 40 minutes! YAY! BBQ!
"I am against gay marriage as I don't think gay sex could be anything like real sex. That doesn't mean I am homophobic! I don't hate gay people!"
Surely if her problem is an aversion to gay sex, she would welcome gay marriage as it eliminates two potential gay people who might want to have sex with her.
