In what way is it being shoved down your throat?

Are you being forced to marry someone of the same sex?

Don't like gays? Then make it YOUR choice to not associate with them (your loss), but don't discriminate against them if you have a business in a state where doing so illegal.

If you live in a state were same sex marriage is LEGAL (which I am proud to say I do), then you don't get to say Steven's and John's legal union is not a "real marriage."

Ignore homosexuals, if you want, teach your kids that they are "icky," but just because YOU don't approve of them doesn't mean they shouldn't be recognized as viable and contributing members of our society who should have our respect as much as you think YOU should be respected.

Ok - the "like" button thing is starting to tick me off.

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

I owe a few "likes," I'll try again later. lol

Homosexuals, transsexuals, bisexuals are demanding support from business that do not wish to give the support. Since this is becoming more common I do resent them---Lord knows I would not demand a strip club or any other sexual club to accomondate a childs birthday party or demand that sex toy stores stock easybake ovens --there is a shoving from the nonhetrosexuals that made me see some more intrested in destroying hetrosexuals lifestyles than enjoying thier own lives.

Cake places, caterers, photographers, ect have had to shut thier doors at the pleasure of noncustomers demographice persons demanding to be customers in PRIVATE businesses.

I have friends who are gay---I like them --they and I keep our sex life personal--

Some folks like the attention, some folks also want to be victims. Yes, it is a choice, but that's a different topic for a different thread.

wowza! you have friends that are gay but you resent their right to be served at the same business that you are served at. tell them that you resent it, to their face and see if you are still friends.

btw asking a baker to bake a cake for a gay wedding is not the same as asking a sex toy store to sell easy bake ovens, but i think you knew that.

By getting mad just because some arent gay and dont agree with it. Thats shoving your view down their throat. Why does everyone have to agree with it or they are some monster? Good Grief...

Riiiiiight, because my friends who are both doctors, both heads of their respective departments in a major hospital.. have been together...living together, sharing/building a life together for TWENTY YEARS..raising children together..because they want attention..or to be victims.

Honestly Jeffrey, I'm not trying to be rude, but you really have NO idea what you are talking about.

But you are rude! And it proves the point of intolerance! I'm glad for your friends, but their not the ones out parading around now are they! The gay folks I know are mostly the victim type, poor me, no one understands me, I'm confused about who I am! That's what I see and hear. Not all are like that I know, but that's what I see! Whining and crying!

This should be another thread!

Not a problem---it is a non issue to them because MG and his partner respect other people's faiths My family member knows that all of the whitching she does is totally viewed--as in I told her personally ---as an attention getter----she is the only one of my homosexual friends or family that wish to shove it around as a power trip.

Most of my friends simply live life and understand that when thier bother is a priest well -----------dear bro is not going to be doing their wedding as he did for her older brother.

It is no more different than when I lived with Jewish people and I did shove Christian events there. Or when in Anchorage when a Muslim family move in I was doing a bQ and not knowing what they could eat or how it might need to be cooked I had her bring a second main course and I did one too.

By know you might be getting the feeling that I respect other views but I refuse to be pushed into being guilty for not agreeing nor must I allow for those who wish to play victims in order to get thier way to even start that game.

That is why I like my friends--we stay out of each others bedrooms and simply enjoy each other. I know very few victims.

Yeah they should let those Catholics come out of the closet.

That's true i guess. I must have missed all of the Christian rights parades, missed hearing the Christian rights activists on every third tv commercial, and missed where a big uproar was caused by some company owner would not use Christians in his advertising.

I'm sorry, I missed all those things where religion was thrust down the general public's throats.

This pretty much sums it up. Thank you.

You mean like the complaining we hear every single year at Christmas, about the "reason for the season" and whining and complaining people do if grocery store clerks wish them a *gasp* Happy Holidays, instead of saying Merry Christmas?

And not sure about you, but I see WAY more religious commercials than I do gay commercials. In fact, I've never even seen one single commercial for gay rights....ever in my life.

And I've never had people knock on my door to ask me to convert to homosexuality. I've never had one leave homosexual propoganda in my door. I've never had gay people drop pamphlets anywhere someone might see them to advertize for their cause.

MDK, you do have a valid claim, and you are correct, i have never seen any propaganda to convert to homosexuality.
On the other hand, I do see rules and laws being made to force people to be accepting of homosexuality, in businesses, schools, and government, yet at the same time laws are made to take any hint of Christianity out of schools, government, etc.

Look, its obvious that there are two completely different sides to this, but the debates are taking away from tje initial point of this thread.
A man was asked a question about how he chose to advertise HIS company, and some people threw a fit because they felt he should go against his beliefs and advertise using their beliefs.

Yep, just like people are throwing fits because Starbucks asked customers to leave their guns at home. You can't please everyone all of the time.

That is not why people are upset. He basically stated that any family other than, man, wife and child is good enough for his advertising and not his market. That is what people are upset about. Single mothers, single fathers, same sex families are all not good enough.
