You are welcome
Tolerance is accepting others people beliefs.
Holy ****...
And yet you DO...when they are someone you vote for.
While I am sure it is hypocritical of me to support one situation and not another
Thanks. That tells me what I need to know. When it comes to using the government to discriminate against an entity undertaking perfectly legal action due to their religious beliefs or affiliations, your decide to damn one side's action and absolve another baesd on your personal opinion of said view.
I'm not going to do that. So what is your beef here? You don't think Mayors have the right to freedom of speech? or what?
My beef is the intolerance of so many who like to pretend they want equality or to end discrimination yet they continually discriminate against those who disagree with them.
Chick Fil A is just one example of many. People walk around expecting that everyone be tolerant of their beliefs, and everyone be tolerant of their lifestyles, and then turn around and discriminate and mock others for their beliefs and lifestyles.
These same people that are ok with mayors not letting chick fil a's be built, and henson refusing to do busines with a group based on their religious beliefs would be up in arms if a business run by a gay man were discriminated against for his. It is hypocritical to demand tolerance while not being so yourself.
There is a wedge driven between groups in this country. For the sake of this discussion we will use gays and religious extremists. Gay marriage supporters absolutely hate when a religious nut pushes their beliefs down their throats. Yet they go around expecting shoving their beliefs down the throats of the religious extremists. The gay rights demand an end to discrimination while at the same time disriminating against the religious. It is disgusting and both sides, or the majority of people on both sides are doing nothing but furthering the gap in these groups and pushing us toward segragation.

Muppets dump Chick-Fil-A to support gay marriage - Chicago Tribune
"The Jim Henson Company has celebrated and embraced diversity and inclusiveness for over fifty years and we have notified Chick-Fil-A that we do not wish to partner with them on any future endeavors," the company said in a statement posted on their official Facebook page.
(snip)
The Henson company, whose Muppet characters are hugely popular, said its Chief Executive Lisa Henson is a "strong supporter of gay marriage and has directed us to donate the payment we received from Chick-Fil-A to GLAAD," the company said in their statement.
Chick-Fil-A has not hidden its Christian mission statement from day one, which precedes the founding of Henson's company. If Henson actually gave a damn about the issue, rather than responding to pressure and then grandstanding, they might have never chosen to associate with Chick-Fil-A at all.
It's a pity that simple symbols and characters from childhood now have to be politicized.
One more time I do not see gays trying to ban heterosexual marriage I do see some trying to ban gay marriage though going so far as to amend the US Constitution.

When one side's beliefs dehumanize and oppress another side I believe the government should take that into account. I won't throw out common sense just for the appearance of consistency on how boards grant licenses. I believe that being against bigotry is more noble than being politically and ideologically consistent.
Is the only way to discriminate against a person to stop them from marrying?

Muppets are so gay anyway. Who needs em. I don't even let my kids watch Sesame Street anymore since the show has gone all stupid uber liberal enough to make you vomit. I don't need my kids being indoctrinated by stupid people and their ridiculous views on the world. It's bad enough that they're going to be subjected to it in school..

I hear ya, brother! The other day they were filling kid's head with socialist ideas like sharing!
There ya go...hell...you didnt even wait for Redress...NICE! YOU dragged them into the argument, didnt you? :lamo
If Chik-Fil-A refuses to serve gays, that's a problem for me. Standing up for marriage as one man/one woman is not.

See^^^ Stupid gay Muppets.
That's how it always starts, that whole liberal thingy..

No, this was his position:
I believe marriage is between a man and a woman. I am not in favor of gay marriage. But when you start playing around with constitutions, just to prohibit somebody who cares about another person, it just seems to me that's not what America's about. Usually, our constitutions expand liberties, they don't contract them.

You know, I've heard that one before ("Usually, our constitutions expand liberties, they don't contract them"). It seems to fall flat considering the changes and interpretations made to the federal Constitution since the beginning. Most I think have been restrictions on ennumerated rights, especially SCOTUS interpretations. Is there a right listed in the Bill of Rights that hasn't been further restricted over the course of time?
The reality here is that chick fil a has done nothing as a business to discriminate against gays. They even employ homosexuals and treat them exactly the same. But that doesnt matter to some. People hate Chick Fil A because the ownership has religious beliefs and some people don't think it is proper for a person to have beliefs that are different from their own.
