Did Chick-fil-A Pretend to Be a Teenage Girl on Facebook?

[garbon]

They donated money to them.

Not sure where Cathy is showing tolerance if he's paying money to have gays no longer be gay and it definitely seems like he's devoted to his own opinions and prejudices on whether it is okay to be gay.

Clearly he is not showing tolerance.  The question is whether he is showing hatred.

Even the first part is debatable.  He's donating money to an organization that attempts to turn gays straight, but I assume that they're only working with gays who are there voluntarily?  No one is being forced into their program, right?  And he's not refusing to serve gays in his restaurants, correct?

[garbon]

You realize that's one organization that he funds? Just on the last page I pointed out another group they donated to.  Besides, if a gay man decides he is going to seek pseudo-therapy to stop being gay - how much of that is free will and how much of that is a desire to avoid shame?

CSM: Chick-fil-A sets sales record amid controversy

[Martinus]

Fair though one could conceivably not act on one's homosexual urges which doesn't really have an equivalent as a black person, does it?

So?

Well then I don't think the whole actions versus identity thing is so clear...as I believe their objection is to homosexual acts (something one can control) and not that a homosexual exists (not within a person's control).  A homosexual is still a homosexual even when not acting on it.

Oddly, many anti-gay folks appear to take the position that it is a total choice whether or not to be homosexual or heterosexual - and that if society doesn't work hard to make gay lives a living hell, lots of people would be attracted to the gay choice. 

I know it's hack to say that, but such people seem very likely to be homosexual or at least bisexual themselves, and are just projecting their own "choice" by arguing others can also grit their teeth, close their eyes, and splurge that horrible, disgusting gaping hole with their semen in the hope of creating little zygote-babies.

Incidentally, last Newsroom episode had a garbon being torn a new asshole by Jeff Daniels. It was glorious.

I love the character Jeff Daniels plays.

Parents force their children into their program. These children end up with severe trauma and some of them commit suicides. Reality is more complex than you may think.

And, as garbon pointed out, there are groups he founds that argue that gays should be legally prevented from being able to work in certain professions. You are fine with that?

Uhm, are we talking adults or children here?

He is talking about 40 year olds whose 70 year old parents kidnap them and force them to go to anti-gay camp at knife point.

Ok he is probably talking about teens here...unless you can detect gay in little kids

I have to applaud Mart for posting what might be the most misogynistic post in all of Languish history which is quite an achievement.  Sorry Ed.
