Here’s what TCRA and Moreno want from Chick-fil-A:

"…an LGBT-inclusive non-discrimination policy, diversity and cultural competency training, parity in employee benefits that included benefits for couples in civil unions and domestic partnerships, appropriate and respectful advertising in the LGBT community and transgender inclusive health benefits."

I assume these control freak jerks wouldn't mind 'cultural competency training' in Christian values...

Where's the freakin' press coverage about this outrage?

They should be sanctioned for this stupidity and made to pay the whole cost. I like MarkL’s newspaper idea too.

“Where’s the freakin’ press coverage about this outrage?”

My question as well. The first press release I had to find on a gay site, and I had to trawl through Christian sites to find this piece today. MSM is silent on the whole thing.

I agree - why should conservatives continue to take this lying down?

This article stated the actual goal, and more people need tomb stating it out loud and challenging them on it.

They’re attempting to criminalize Christianity.

Conservatives tend not to be promiscuous in litigation or in general and actually think about more than their giblets (GBLT).

Homosexuals seem to have a single (downward/rearward) focus.

Not one person has ever claimed Chick-Fil-A has denied them service based on anything yet they do this crap. I’ve said this before, I’ll say it again, I don’t care what the PC croud thinks.

Overwhelmingly, HOMOSEXUALITY, is a MENTAL DISORDER, period.

I have seen no evidence, studies or any other scientific research to remotely convince me that it should not be in the DSM.. in fact its removal from the DSM had nothing to do with any new research proving it should not be classified as such.. it was a purely political move.

Now, I also believe that of the homosexual population, a small percetange of them truly are wired different from birth and are not the nut job crazies who meet at highway rest areas and bathrooms for anoymous sex. However, within the very small minority which is the gay male segment of the population they are themselves a minority. The overwhelming majority are victims themselves of sexual molestation, overbearing mothers or stuck in perpetual adolecence desiring other males acceptance beyond anything else, and will do ANYTHING literally to get it.

You are free to live your life how you wish, but you will NEVER get the majority of people to accept it as “normal” it just won’t happen. The desire to throw up when watching 2 men kiss is not something learned by straight men, its inate and it cannot be learned away. Best you are going to get is tolerance, and tolerance is NOT acceptance and frankly you have tolerance. You will never get the majority of folks to accept what you do is normal, its not going to happen, it never will.

You are protected under the law from discrimination, as is everyone else, so you really don’t have a beef.. you are trying to mandate acceptance and it will never, ever happen.

There is a word for requiring that from a company: Fascism

The best thing to do is to turn these laws around upon them - like Mcmillian Firearms suing BOA for dropping them.

Also, LaRaza and the New Black Pampers could be sued for hate speech, when those laws are encacted here.

The ACLJ could make it happen.

That’s it, in a nutshell.
They want to silence and bury all dissent.
They want to mandate acceptance.
This is totalitarian, and cannot happen while people have the freedom to fight it.

Too bad they don’t try that legal angle when seeking ‘special rights’.

Under the ADA, they’d get them a lot faster.

[IMO, it’s just a sin]

How many guys gag at the thought of two men kissing but drool over the sight of two women kissing?

If ~that~ doesn’t “bother” men, why not?

It’s still homosexuality.

The US Constitution, the FIRST Amendment is very strong on the right of Americans to have freedom OF Religion and is 100% SILENT on Freedom FROM Religion. BIG difference.

The Constitution is also 100% silent on sexual deviants attempting to destroy the meaning of Marriage between one man and one woman.

If the Constitution is silent on something the government cannot force it.

Must be the HIV virus, even when suppressed to undetectable levels destroys the logic portions of the brain.

Fudge packers and carpet munchers cannot reproduce and that alone makes them unsuitable for marriage as marriage is partially created to support a family structure resulting from the reproductive functions of a man and woman.

No matter how much they protest, their physical actions are enough to gag a maggot.

Protected classes should be constituted by morally neutral, immutable, objective characteristics. That is to say, protected classes, like race, biological sex, or national origin, are wholly objective conditions, in all cases immutable, and are not in any way constituted by freely chosen behaviors.

So discriminating on the basis of religion - a freely chosen behavior - is OK? I think the author may have proved too much.

Why men gag at men kissing and don’t at women is a classic gay nonsequitor..

Men are revolted at the thought of 2 men kissing because its something they want no part of... they don’t mind 2 ATTRACTIVE women kissing, because frankly they just want to join in. That’s not a proof of anything.

There are fundamental differences between male homosexuality and female homosexuality as well, which I think is at the forefront of why women are more accepting of the behavoir than men. But that’s a whole other conversation.
