Thanks for the after-action report.
With respect to public agencies (like the Post office, the DMV, or the military), these bureaucracy’s employment and speech policies are collectively decided by a majority. Should gay partners be considered “spouses” for HR benefits if you are in military services for example? That’s not the private (free enterprise) sector. Voters would collectively decide the best policy. Ideally, however, health care benefits are not tied to family and “spousal” definitions in the public sector. Public agencies would simply pay a gross salary based on skills & performance, and those payments can be allocated privately by the employee at will (spent on health care, or insurance benefits for one’s wife, “significant other,” self, children, etc.) without voters or government making those HR policy decisions. Problem solved. Labor unions want to broaden the definition of “spouse” in order to skim union dues off the gross payments for the Rat Party campaigns. It’s not about gay marriage to them, it’s about Bank ($$)...
Thanks again for the Report, it is heartening. :)

BTW: After looking at my photos, I do see around 12 to 15 people at the Chick-Fil-A restaurant protesting. (2:45pm) I was driving and I didn’t see the whole group from where I was.
ABC channel 7 in Los Angeles just stated that Northridge, Hollywood, Redlands, and Laguna Nigel saw very heavy business today. Laguna is interesting since it has become very popular with the homosexual community. Many of them live down there.
I thought it was interesting to see how Hollywood went too. Most people think of the place as being very leftist. You wouldn’t know it today.
The place was swamped with business, and people were sitting in the restaurant outside seating section, facing the corner with the homosexual supporting protesters chanting “Chick-Fil-A, Chick-Fil-A, in their faces.”
One group of Blacks was having a great time. They just showed them on TV. One was a Black lady that was really funny. LOL
As I drove through the drive-through, there was a thirty-something woman with her kids in toe, ordering up.
Looks like the LGBT protest was very lucritive for Chick-Fil-A. I’m wondering if the CEO might make a few more ‘mistakes’ in upcoming weeks.
It’s a thought!
