You are allowed to question and have a different opinion. You are not, however, entitled to be free of criticism over that opinion.

When you demanded “come on, people”, they came on. And very politely rebutted your argument. They didn’t even use four question marks per sentence to do so.

So, if you really are sincere, Kelly, I have an assignment for you:

Go talk to those gay friends of yours (assuming they are actually friends and not distant acquaintances). Ask them how they feel about organizations that exist solely for the purpose of denying them equality under the law. Then ask yourself how you feel about organizations that exist solely for denying your friends equality under the law.

And finally, Kelly, should you decide that you are okay with your friends being denied equality, tell them so. Look them in the face and say, “I think that laws should treat you as inferior to me.”

You may discover something about “friendship” that you didn’t know.

Just an observation.

That’s a false equivalence Kelly. The anti-gays want do deny gays the right to marry, destroy their relationships, fire them from their jobs and evict them from their homes – that’s a huge impediment to gays living how they want. If anti-gays aren’t able to oppress gays that’s a trivial, virtually non-existant impact on how they want to live their lives. The gays “infringment” on the lives of anti-gays doesn’t remotely even begin to compare with the anti-gays infringement on the life of gays.

Be careful. There is a vast difference between live and let live with differing opinions, and contributing to organizations that actively pursue anti-gay policies and/or principles. I have no problem with any Christian donating to any Christian charity of their choosing who’s purpose is for the good of all (or even for the good of a select group) and not for the specific detriment or discrimination of any. And as consumers, we all have the right and the responsibility to know where our money goes when we patronize a business. Me personally, I don’t consider it a “boycott” if I choose not to spend my money at a business that contributes to, or shares the views of, anti-gay organizations like FRC, Exodus International, or Focus on the Family. That’s not boycotting, that’s being true to myself. And by doing so, I’m not stopping them from doing anything they wish to do.. I’m merely choosing not to give them my money.
