Part of the problem with Calif. The initiative passed has to be Constitutional. Prop 8 wasn't. Same for a city's mayor's initiative. If it is allowed by the law of the land all well and good, if you don't like it vote the bum out.Wasn't prop 8 determined by a vote of the people rather than an edict from a single elected official? Rights can be granted/recinded through law correct?
In Boston and Chicago over Chic-Fil-A, perhaps. But in California over Prop 8....
There is no violation of rights in this case other than the attempts by mayors to ban Chick fil-A from their cities, and now a New York city councilman calling for them to be banned from campusExactly! And it cuts both ways.
Really? There were lines of over 150,000,000 folks?Most Americans are against gay marriage...period...proof is in the lines
We overlook the racism spewed by black pastors daily...how is this different?

the Declaration of Independence said:We hold these vruths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, ....

You do realize that he was saying that to a Baptist magazine/newsletter right? Kind of where you'd expect people to invoke God.
Anyone still in denial about the culture war, this is your wake up call.
Anyone else remember WAAAY back in the ancient days of 2004, when all the leftist pundits were claiming gay marriage was a red herring throw up by the right in order to distract the population from the real issues? That they were freaking out over "slippery slopes" and that the left had no intention of defiling marriage?
I guess 2004 is a bit too far back for the left to remember.
A better question is are mayors going to require every business to swear to a pro same sex marriage policy before giving business permits?Is Chik-Fil-A now going to require that each customer swear to a "sexual orientation" oath before being served?
I would say it will depend on where this protest is held. Inside the story they can be removed and possibly arrested. Outside the store, they can still be asked to leave and possibly arrested if on private property. On the public sidewalk, they can pretty much do as they please within the confines of the law.Here's a question. LGBTQRSXYZ groups are going to do a "kiss in" to protest, right? Can't Chick-fil-a just demand they order something or leave? And if they do, aren't they just helping their business?
Kissing is still legal.On the public sidewalk, they can pretty much do as they please within the confines of the law.
What it does do is legalize sin which to me and many many others as witnessed by the mass support has no place in our society(legally I mean)What "the pundits" said then is still true today. How has Adam and Steve's marriage in Massachusetts defiled your marriage? Or how does recognizing the basic right of John and Joe to marriage and its rights and obligations defile the same right to Jim and Mary? Please be specific. Generic fear mongering does not advance anyone's understanding of the issue.
