Your right! He was asked a question and answered it honestly and because he told the truth, he got slammed. How is that fair to him? The haters came out in force(as can be seen by some posts here).

Everyday on this forum you post your opinions and some of them come off as hateful to me and others. Why are you allowed to have opinions and voice them and others should not? He either responds and stands by what he says or he respectfully declines. Once he puts out what he believes into the media than he should understand that others will have opinions that will range from agreement to disagreement.
PS disagree does not equate with hate for most of us.

Because my "opinions" are just that! I offer them up free of charge and I do expect folks to disagree with me. He answered a question and some folks took it too personaly, they showed their hatred for someone's beliefs! The hate is very clear!

The hate coming from those who support him is just as clear. As I said, he did not need to answer, he did and now he has backtracked.

I see hatefull intolerance from his detractors, not so much from his supporters! Why do they need to berate him for his beliefs? So he backtracked, so what? Do you think his beliefs changed?

I see it from both. I don't think his beliefs changed. I think he is bowing to the power of the dollar. There is no doubt he has hurt his company or he would not be so fast to scrabble.
Here on this forum I would respect those that said I support his views and will continue to buy his product. It is those that revel in making jabs have to go farther that respectfully stating their opinion that I have no regard for.

gay--is a PC word for Homosexual--I think that we are grown up enough to use the word--Then again I taught my son to say penis vs. wee wee.
Think words have meanings and this PC world puts spins on words to associate it to another feeling.
See the opposite of Homosexual is hetrosexual
the opposite of gay is sad. ----See the message behind the PC adgenda?

His business will do better than before.(just like Chick-fil-a) He got free advertising
on a scale he never dreamed about! I agree with your last sentence, that works both ways!

I agree, to an extent, but disagree. With all do respect, I fully believe, God, the Lord of Abraham, sees a family as parents and the children they produce. Leviticus 20 says man shall not lay with a man as he does with womankind, or he shall be killed.
To me that sounds like God does not approve of homosexuality. That said, I also know that my God is a God of love and forgiveness. And even tho we should hate the sin, we should still love the sinner.
And even tho I cannot find scriptures relating to this, I honestly, in my heart, believe God intends families to be father, mother, and children, and not mommy one and mommy two and the biproduct of their stop at the local sperm bank, or daddys one and two and the baby they got from an adoption agency.
And, even tho I am expressing my views here, i am not "pushing it" on the public. Never have seen a heterosexual pride parade, and doubt I ever will. And why? Because hetero is natural, and as intended, no ifs ands, or buts about it.

Of course you've never seen a "straight pride parade."
Why would you?
The straight community is free to love the people they love and to make a life with whomever they want - as long as it's someone of the opposite sex.
And they are free to take advantage of all the benefits that being married to someone of the opposite affords them.
Why would there be "straight gay parades?" Attention doesn't need to be brought to heterosexuals, who have all the rights in the world.
Gay pride parades are nothing more than an attempt to bring attention to the fact that a segment of our population is discriminated against and denied basic rights for no other reason than who they love.

This whole 'gay is a choice' argument is blatantly absurd.
If it was a choice to be gay..homosexual..whatever you want to call it, we would not see the suicides we do by young people unable to come to terms with the rejection from their communities.
Several gay friends have told me that when they were young and first trying coming to terms with their homosexuality they would have given anything to be straight as it would have made their lives so much easier.
Who would choose to be disowned by their loved ones, even their own parents and have their hearts broken for a choice?

And to shove views and practices down the throats of those who are sickened by said views and practices.

What percentage of gays are in a committed relationship? Certainly not those cruising gay bars night after night the same way singles cruise the singles bars. They are not about love and commitment. They are out for sex with anyone willing. Sex does not define love.

It's your choice to be sickened.
I don't like having religion shoved in my face every day but there it is, it's not going away so I learn to live with it...and that really is a choice.

IDK, but every single one I know...Eight couples off the top of my head.

So you are saying they are the same..the gay people and the straight people looking for love in all the wrong places? Not all single gay people cruise the bars just as not all straight people do. You are simply illustrating that we (homosexuals and heterosexuals) are not that different after all.

Same question, worded differently.
One is labeled 'hater' and one is PERFECTLY acceptable.
Interesting.....

Not the same statement at all. "cater" and "comment" make all the difference."
