Chick-fil-A Allegedly Agrees to Stop Funding Conservative Groups Opposed to Gay Marriage

Sep. 19, 2012 12:23pm Billy Hallowell

The seeds of chaos were planted in July when Chick-fil-A President Dan Cathy appeared on a radio show and publicly stated that his company opposes same-sex marriage. It didn’t take long for his statements to reverberate throughout the nation, with civil rights groups, media outlets and the public at large responding feverishly. This, teamed with the angst that was already created months before over Chick-fil-A’s past donations to groups that support the traditional family unit, created a furor.

With the dust having finally settled, a shocking report from a Chicago-based gay rights group claims that the fast food chain has now pledged to stop funding groups that stand against legalizing gay marriage. In a press release on Tuesday, The Civil Rights Agenda (TCRA) announced that an internal Chick-fil-A document shows that the company is re-thinking which organizations it will fund.

The Huffington Post has more on the alleged developments:

TCRA’s statement appears to confirm earlier reports which indicated that Chick-fil-A might be reconsidering their LGBT stance. Last month, reliable sources who did not wish to be identified told the HuffPost Gay Voices team that Dan Cathy, the fast food chain’s president, “welcomed campus leaders to a private luncheon in Atlanta…to discuss diversity, hospitality and the opportunity to find common ground,” though no further information regarding exactly which college groups were present was provided.

While the gay rights group claims that they are content with the internal statement, which seems to indicate that the company will avoid giving to conservative groups, they are hoping that Chick-fil-A will draft an official, anti-discrimination policy and release it publicly at the corporate level. TCRA also claims that there is a climate of mistreatment that is waged against gay workers and that the supposed culture must be confronted.

However, the internal memo did allegedly go out to stakeholders and franchises, calling for the company to “treat every person with honor, dignity and respect-regardless of their beliefs, race, creed, sexual orientation and gender.” The statement, which also seeks to separate Chick-fil-A from social and political debates, was placed on official, internal record.

Chick fil A Allegedly Agrees to Stop Funding Groups Opposed to Gay Marriage

TCRA, which purportedly advised Chicago Alderman Joe Moreno (who previously threatened to block Chick-fil-A from his city) as he negotiated terms with the company, praised the alleged development in a statement released on its web site. According to the press release, Moreno has confirmed these details to the organization.

The Chicago Tribune has more about the arrangement and Moreno’s work to arrange it:

Though Moreno said he scored a “big win,” the company made nearly identical pledges in a July 19 Facebook post that went up even before Moreno took issue with Chick-fil-A President Dan Cathy’s opposition to gay marriage.

The statement of respect also falls short of Moreno’s goal of adding language opposing discrimination against gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people to the company’s employee handbook.

Moreno said the statement will be included in a memo called “Chick-fil-A: Who We Are” to be distributed to all corporate employees and restaurant operators.

TCRA, while optimistic about the developments, was also cautious in its assessment of the movements on the part of Chick-fil-A.

“We are very pleased with this outcome and thank Alderman Moreno for his work on this issue,” said TCRA executive director Anthony Martinez. “I think the most substantive part of this outcome is that Chick-fil-A has ceased donating to organizations that promote discrimination, specifically against LGBT civil rights.”

While Martinez praised the development, he was careful to note that it is only one step in the right direction when it comes to relations between Chick-fil-A and the gay community. TCRA also claims that there is a letter that was addressed to Moreno and that came from the fast food chain’s senior director of real estate. It purportedly reaffirms the company’s pledge to re-examine and inevitably stop funding these groups.

“The WinShape Foundations is now taking a much closer look at the organizations it considers helping, and in that process will remain true to its stated philosophy of not supporting organizations with political agendas,” the letter allegedly reads (Winshape is Chick-fil-A’s non-profit organization).

Some of the organizations that the company has supported include Exodus International, Focus on the Family and the Family Research Council. While BuzzFeed attempted to get a reaction from Chick-fil-A representatives, a spokesman refused to confirm or deny the story. Instead, the outlet received a statement that is reminiscent of what the food chain has said numerous times before.

“We have no agenda, policy or position against anyone. We have a 65-year history of providing hospitality for all people and, as a dedicated family business, serving and valuing everyone regardless of their beliefs or opinions,” it read. “The genuine, historical intent of our WinShape Foundation and corporate giving has been to support youth, family and educational programs.”

The homosexual community is trying to save some face after the terrible a$$ kicking they took over their attacks on chick-fil-A. They are not used to losing these battles and made a huge mistake by exposing themselves to such a huge public backlask.

They are opposed to homosexual marrage and support the traditional definition of marrage as God intended.

  @Kenszen – I agree.

  @Tulsayeehaw – I agree, God loves us all, but hates our sin. Many people see LGBT as sin so while we may not hate those people, we refused to support their sin, just as I wouldn’t go to a parade to show pride for all the rapists in the world. That is why I don’t support adultery, stealing, lying, or killing (abortion is a good example there).

Whether Hobby Lobby endorses the homosexual agenda( I’m betting they DO NOT) or not is something maybe you can search for on wikipedia and get back to us.

  You are really reaching to find an excuse to criticize someone. I myself rarely eat out but made a special effort to patronize Chic-Fil-A to give them support. It has nothing to do with patronizing fast food places as you so like to state.

  @Blazers, we went to show support at Chick-fil-A to say “We believe Dan Cathy should not be demonized for exercising his 1st Amendment right of free speech – that Cathy believes in the Biblical marriage.” This was about free speech remember? It wasn’t about what groups Chick-fil-A can and can’t donate money to.
  
  You people are ridiculous. How’s your Amazon boycott going? You guys will boycott anything that doesn’t 100% agree with your beliefs. I’ll continue to use Amazon and eat at Chick-fil-A no matter what. Quit making the private sector have to engage in politics and then boycotting them because you have different believes. To me, that IS intolerance!

  Yes it works on both sides. That is why I am not a big proponent of boycotts. A corporation is just trying to reach consumers but they come under attack for one reason or the other. They spend big dollars on advertising that support many small businesses and the networks.
  
  I don’t care who advertises where but I will take a stance when they cave to special interest groups. That is my pet pea peeve.

  In order to counter the threat of gay marriage, you’ll need a good starting list of companies that support gay marriage so you’ll know whose products to boycott. As a public service, here a list of such companies from (from wiki) you can start with:
  
  Adobe Systems, Allstate Insurance, Amazon.com, American Apparel, American Airlines, Apple, Applebee’s, Ben & Jerry’s, Best Buy, Boeing, Clorox, The Coca-Cola Company, Costco, Delta Airlines, eBay, Ford, Gap, Banana Republic, Old Navy, Piperlime, General Mills, General Motors, Google, Motorola Mobility, Youtube, Zagat, Hilton Worldwide, The Home Depot, IBM, J.C. Penney, Kraft Foods, Levi’s, Marriott Hotels, McDonald’s, Microsoft, Nationwide Insurance, Nike, Olive Garden, Office Depot, PepsiCo, Procter and Gamble, Red Lobster, REI, Sears, Land’s End, Southwest Airlines, Starbucks, State Farm Insurance, Target, T-Mobile, United Airlines, UPS, Vulcan Inc., Walgreens, The Walt Disney Company, ABC, ESPN, Pixar, Marvel, Walt Disney Studios, Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, The Muppets, and Wells Fargo.
  
  Now get going on those boycotts!

  Ah, I see you miss the point. Many of us, especially us libertarians, were not against gays when supporting Chick, rather, we were for freedom of speech. When a group decides to ‘shut down’ a place because the owner says something in a non-business interview (he was being interviewed for a Baptist publication), many of us take that seriously.

Maybe you disagree, but I think Americans have a right to know which companies support gay rights, so that they can start a boycott, if only by not drinking Coke, Pepsi or eating at McDonald’s or using Clorox on their laundry.
  
  It’s a start. But if you wish to support those companies I listed with your dollars, go right ahead. I’m not against that.

  I think GohostofJefferson stated it very well. The comment just above your post. That being said it appears that you fully support boycotts against companies like Chic-Fil-A for their freedom of speech yet criticize any conservatives for doing the same thing that your liberal friends take.
  
  I do not necessarily favor boycotts just because a corportation advertises or a takes a stance that I disagree with. Unlike the liberal left. Yes there are conservative groups that do the same thing. I do not support those either.
  
  It is when freedom of speech is attacked or when corporations cave to special interest groups that I may or may not decide to use their services or goods.

  Jaycen I don’t think I need to use rhetorical tricks to demonstrate that I am ‘superiour.’ By the way, people who throw around the word ‘socialist’ with absolutely no regard for context or the subject under discussion invariably have no clue what it means. What on earth does socialism have to do with my opposition to bigotry against gay people? If you can only make sense of the world in terms of absolutes (e.g. everyone who disagrees with me on any subject is a socialist), then you are truly a waste of human intellect. I challenge you right now to define socialism in your own words (hint: it has nothing to do with gay people, college professors, muslims, occupiers, immigrants, or drug users). Have at it.

  yeah ummm…JZS…I realise that protests and occupations are your thing along with the groupthink mentality that accompanies them (and the poor hygeine as well)…but you seem to be particuarly myopic and insipid in your producing a list of homosexual marriage supporting businesses.
  
  When a private citizen comments on his own personal views and his business does not in any way carry out any agenda on those views..yet city officials choose to strongarm the business for the personal views of it’s owner…you have a free speech issue on your hands. Is this not so?
  
  Along similar lines the Obama administration apologized to the perpetually outraged muslims of the world for a little viewed and poorly crafted internet film while these same perpetually outraged muslims were sodomizing and beating to death a US ambassador and his staff members. Then going to the extent of sending the FBI to the filmmaker’s home to “interview” him..along with imploring Google to “review” it’s criteria for making this laughable little film available on their online resources. Once again…government officials attempting to strong arm private citizens into silence on their views. Not coincidentally…these officials have been liberals and democrats.

Many of us, and attend this closely because it’s the important part, are for freedom of speech and have no animus towards homosexuals. If you think this was primarily about gays, then you clearly didn’t listen to the live interviews during the big day for Chick-Fil-A, or if you did, you’ve flushed the memory of them down the memory hole.

After the support the American families gave to Chick-fil-A this is a slap in the face. Cathy you may gain the LBGT crowd but you’ll lose all the support from conservatives. By the way there is no such thing as a peaceful muslim, that’s a oxymoron! If you need proof just look at what they are doing now. We need to run all the muslim’s back to the sand hills from which they came.

So if I march in support of, say, gay marriage, that means that I am not engaging in freedom of speech or demonstration, since I’m taking sides. How confusing it must be, to live in your world.

If you don’t boycott them all, then you’re a hypocrite.

  Personally, IMHBLO, I’m disappointed. I LOVE Chick-fil-A. But I harbor a resentment for worms. Especially those who turn due to opposition forces, on a dime.
  
  Chick-fil-A had the high ground, IMHBLO. It was the owners philosophy. Starbucks, for example, “IS” a proclaimed amoral business model.
  
  Interestingly, when business makes a ‘mistake’ it “IS” fed to the sharks. But ALL conservative business “IS” eaten alive just for existing. If you are a unprincipled, undisciplined, incapable, weak, or just plain stupid you have an advocate in the ‘democrats.’
  
  It would be easy to take the above “out of context”. But I stand by my assessment. And, given the venue, I’d be willing to defend my position.
  
  I’m in no way prejudice (beyond normal discrimination on a momentary basis).
  
  I BELIEVE in the founding principles. I LIVE the founding principles, as close as possible in today’s world. But I am a frugal self sufficient type.

  @GhostofJefferson,
  
  I do understand logic is hard for conservatives, please keep up.
  
  The reason you joined Huckabee’s hate eat in was to protest gay activists daring to exercise their freedom of speech to condemn the bigoted practices of the corporation. You claim to be doing it in support of free speech, but the First Amendment was never in any danger, there were no government actors just private citizens voicing their disdain for “charities” that the corporation donates to. If you supported free speech, as you allege you do, you would have remained neutral. Instead you took a side, denounce one group’s right and supporting another’s.

  Oh Enicom, you poor soul. I know nothing I say will penetrate the fog of your illogic. Clearly you don’t understand that freedom of speech means all sides have that freedom, even the freedom to speak against somebody protesting you. It has to be confusing, all this dissent. I mean, we were supposed to just fall in line and march to the ovens when you people gave the order, but amazing, we’re no longer of a mind to listen to you. It has to sting, I’ll bet.

  Oh Ghosty, who little you understand, free speech was never under attack, at least not until Huckabee and the fascist Christians made it an issue. Chick-fil-a’s rights were never in threat, the government was not an actor in this. You took the sides of the bigots and stood against one group. You can not claim you did this to protect a right that was never threatened. By taking sides and claiming that you were protecting the “freedom of speech” right of the bigots, you devalued the same right of those that seek equal rights. Since by your logic those groups had no right to protest, cause the protest threatens the free speech rights of bigots.

  Nice list of propaganda, Jzs.
  http://mailsrvr.jonasclark.com/society/315-mcdonalds-pulls-plug-on-pro-gay-marriage-push.html
  
  McDonalds pulls supports for gay marriage.
  
  While some on your list do support the homosexual agenda, there are many religiously affiliated businesses that believe as Chick Fil A.
  Forever 21, Lifeway Bookstores, Tyson Foods, Inc., Hobby Lobby, Alaska Air, Mark Kay Cosmetics, ServiceMaster, Herman Miller, Interstate Batteries, Trijicon, Curves Fitness, Tom’s of Maine. In-N-Out Burger, and to an extent even Walmart because the Walton family, which founded the company and still owns a major stake in it, has used Christian servant leadership models in building the world’s largest retailer. And the company’s Arkansas roots helped sensitize it to the shopping habits of churchgoers. It also explains why Walmart long carries the kind of Christian books that were once the exclusive province of Christian bookstores. Off you go.

  ” Actually you don;t support freedom of speech, if you did you would have not backed either side. Gay organizations have the same right to freedom of speech and the same right to express dissatisfaction with a company that gives to bigoted organizations. By showing support, you decided whose rights where greater.” someone isnt paying attention. first of all perversion isnt a right. but we supported Chik fil a because of the unlawful interference of Government.ie Emmanuel and Meninos attempt to discriminate against Chick fila for their deeply held religious beliefs.

  It wouldn’t surprise me at all. Chick-fil-A was the main sponsor for the PBS kids show Between the Lions for years. It was produced by a lesbian named Judith Stoia whom often had celebrity lesbian hosts such as Melissa Etheridge and Iron Chef Cat Cora on to indoctrinate kids into accepting the homosexual lifestyle as normal. Her resume includes executive producing the afterschool special In the Shadow of Love: A Teen AIDS Story and The AIDS Quarterly with Peter Jennings. She even gave sex pervert Dr. Ruth Westheimer her own segment on the show.
  
  When I called Chick-fil-A a few years ago to complain and find out why they were sponsoring this show, I was told to complain to my local PBS station and not to them. Huh? What sense does that make? They continue to spend their money funding the leftist PBS and incorporating it’s shows into their Kids Meals to this day.

This is an outrage and I am sorry Chick-fil-A has given in to the few who are trying to change what freedom is. May God forgive us to giving up on ourselves and what this country was founded on. Wake up America.

And if true, your statement proves that you homosexuals are not really discriminated against, right? “Make more money?” See, in the time of true civil rights violations, like for the African-Americans, they experienced true discrimination and could not “make more money.” Much of homosexual demographics show that you are in the upper middle class to rich. Kind of hard to pull that off when you are “discriminated against,” huh?

  Chick-Fil-A did not discriminate against anyone; neither customers nor employees (it is against the law in this country). The whole brouhaha was about freedom of speech and not gay rights. But, hey, why would you try and understand that, or someone else point for that matter? After all, you are “lots of money making”, great and tolerant person, aren’t you?

Is that not a denial of my rights? A person can marry a tree for all I care. To say I cannot stand on a principal is ridiculous. Where’s your tolerance for my opinion? My rights, by the way, don’t come from government, they come from God. And congratulations on your successful business. Just so you know, you didn’t build that. Someone else made that happen.

  @KENSZEN First of all, if you can find somekind of credible source that says gay people ACTUALLY DO make more money, not just your BS “well EVERYBODY KNOWS that…” nonsense, I would love to see it
  
  But furthermore, and I understand that this shocks. I’m not gay. I like to support groups and give money to people that support gay rights because its the right thing to do. How does the fact that gay people make money, have ANYTHING to do with how much money I MAKE??
  
  And by the way, if the law says that two consenting adults can’t get married,
  or be on each others insurance,
  or visit them in the hospital,
  or be considered a “next of kin”
  
  then yes, those people are truly victims of discrimination. And if your tiny little brain cant comprehend that, you are either dumb, or disabled.

Ya whats the deal Red? (Unless he’s making his Mom and Dad do all the work which would be shameful…)
  
  oh! He could have his gay lover who used to have a wife and had kids with but then realized that he was a girl and got a sex change but then met red and had another sex change so he could be gay like him and then Red has that guy’s (?Guy girl? it? thing?) kids doing all the work for Red’s business?

  But if you are going to support someone who is working agains giving equal rights to gay people. You are a truly, weak, cowardly, empty, bad person. If you truly think that what chick fil a is doing is right, you are sick
  
  You have the right be sick in America, but that doesn’t mean its good. And it certainly doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be called out for it.

  I didn’t say I did or didn’t own a business. I was responding to your claim of owning a business that apparently employes a lot of people, or at least enough to spend thousands of dollars over a year for catering, all the while having ample free time as this thread demonstrates, to come in a toss out personal attacks on others. In trying to make this about me, you are in fact discrediting your own claims. Your rhetorical tactic of calling people “gay” and trying to drum up a poor attempt at reverse psychology informs me that you’re either just out of high school, or in the beginning years of university. Sorry, if you’re actually an adult over the age of 20 and this is truly how you react to people whose views you oppose, then you lack intellectual credibility on a debate forum, and simply cannot be taken seriously.

  “I OWN A CABINET MAKING BUISNESS THAT EMPLOYS 11 PEOPLE”

  Now if your response is “No you don’t! cause if you did, you won’t be posting here!” then YOU are participating in an AD Hominem attack. You are saying “you can trust red or what he says, beause he doesn’t own a buisness” and that is the definition of an ad hominem attack
  
  BTW, calling someone gay is not an attack or insult
  
  An insult is suppose to hurt someones feeling, and theres no reason to have hurt feeling about being gay, grow up

  Yes, it’s abundantly clear that I have no grasp of the English language nor any concept of rhetorical nuance nor even an inkling of knowledge concerning classical debate techniques.
  
  Cabinet making? Wow, I’m sure you do. I own a major airline, and Donald Trump pays me rent on the ten skyscrapers I own in Manhattan. It’s true, because I posted it on the internet!
  
  And ad hominem is turning the discussion away from the topic and making the discussion about the person you’re debating, usually through insult, although insult is not required at all (in fact, many forms of ad hominem do not employ insult whatsoever). But as you point out, I have no idea about that, so when you try to divert the topic by attempting to make the conversation about me, I clearly have no idea what you’re doing and you’ve clearly out maneuvered me, you smart fellow you.

  Note: Never said you were gay
  Maybe the “he could have” left things vague… but it was what it was.
  
  So question: with what you pay your employees and the materials that you get your cabinets from (I assume since you APPEAR to be a very pro-Huff type of person that you are not into using exotic or rare woods and are therefore appearing to be a generic Box Store type of design cabinet maker) what you have to pay for unemployement insurance, taxes, fees, regulation fees, licences, etc. Why oh why would you not be hoping mad at Obama and policies UNLESS four things:
  
  - Every employees first name is Jose and you pick them up every morning at Home Depot.
  - The 11th person is an interpreter.
  - You are cheating the system (which if true, nulls and voids you from complaining about ANY corrupt corporation and business out there)

““The WinShape Foundations is now taking a much closer look at the organizations it considers helping, and in that process will remain true to its stated philosophy of not supporting organizations with political agendas,” the letter allegedly reads (Winshape is Chick-fil-A’s non-profit organization).” ~~~ I guess that means the gay community will not be seeing any Chick-fil-A donations anytime soon.

  If you find a comment in it whereby Chick-fil-A has confirmed what the sexual deviants have said, post it in defense of your two ignorant comments; Then I’ll retract this and issue an apology.

  Marriage is a religious concept. Civil unions are a government created concept. Nobody is taking away the right to civil unions. If you want to force Christians to betray their values regarding marriage, then THAT is taking away rights.

  I said “religious” not specifically “only Christian”. I also said civil unions are perfectly peachy and nobody is taking that away from anybody, so even then, you can still get into a civil union even as an atheist. If you want to get married and have no religion, then that’s between you and whatever religious institution you feel will accept your request. Attention to detail is something you may want to attend to. Remember, Readers Are Leaders! ™

  Wow, I’m trying to help you here but you persist in looking for disagreement where none exists. Is that a Buddhist precept? If your religion, Buddhism, allows gay marriage, then that is your religion and you can have marriage. Religion still remains a religious institution, and claiming that a religion allows marriage between XY or Z doesn’t negate the claim. Get it?

  I do apologize, I failed to interpret your meaning, and that my fault. We are in agreement that no religious institution should have need to betray its beliefs when it comes to marriage, but at the same time no religion should have to accept any other religion’s definition. However, if that’s the case than there should be no laws forbidding same-sex marriage.

  I’m glad we came to a meeting of common ground. That’s precisely what I was saying, yes. And frankly the whole “gay marriage” debate seems to me to be a lot of huffing and puffing from both sides. I honestly have nothing against gay civil unions, at all. I’m a libertarian, it is none of my business how others wish to conduct their lives. My interest in this line of events begins and ends with freedom of speech and expression. On this particular story, it’s about whether a person engaging in freedom of speech betrays what he/she said were his beliefs in order to make more money (or because of some other kind of political pressure). Inconsistency and hypocrisy bother me greatly. Say what you mean and mean what you say, but if you try to play off both sides and betray your own proclaimed values, whatever they may be, then don’t expect me to be a customer.
  
  At this point however, it’s all allegation. We’ll see what pans out as the story unfolds.

  @Is not
  
  You do not understand my point. And I answered your question. You are in a civil union, assuming I mean that you did not get married in a religious institution or under religious conditions. And that’s fine, the problem is that the word “marriage” has been confused by many to mean government license of unions, which it never was and never will be. It’s an issue of confusing terms, kind of like how some folks refer to semi-automatic rifles as “assault weapons”, and everybody then assumes that “assault weapon” means a scary looking semi-automatic rifle, when in fact assault weapon actually means a select fire rifle carried by combatants. Marriage is suffering the same confusion in regards to civil unions. Hope this clarified it for you, assuming of course that you were actually looking for an honest answer and not just to pick a fight.

  I’m genuinely interested, but you’re playing word games. My ‘marriage’ is officially recognized by the state of MN. You may not consider this a ‘marriage’, but all 50 state in the union do. If you call it a ‘civil union’, that means nothing. That would be like me saying my neighbors marriage is invalid because I don’t like him; completely irrelevant and pointless. You’ll say marriage is a religious institution. Again, it doesn’t matter what you say. You don’t have a monopoly on marriage, the definition, or the legal assignment. You also don’t have the right to tell a wife, a mother, a son, a daughter that you don’t recognize a particular marriage because it didn’t meet you standards.
  
  I’m an atheist. I’m legally married in the USA. Am I violating your religious freedom?

I don’t believe the corporation is going to allow a group dedicated to sexual deviants, to dictate company policy – “While Martinez praised the development, he was careful to note that it is only [ONE STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION] when it comes to relations between Chick-fil-A and the [sexually deviant] community.”

  “Gay people” is not a race, gender or creed of people. They are a group of people who are delineated only by their sexual desires. I missed in the Constitution where people are identified and guaranteed rights by their sexual deviancy.
  
  Besides, marriage is not a right any more than driving is a right. We discriminate who can drive.
  
  I can’t marry a man either. The fact I don’t want to is irrelevant. Gays don’t want equal right, they want special rights.

  The Williams Institute study of 2011 found only apx. 3.% of the population identified themselves as LGBT (any category). Even California, the most heavily populated state among LGTB individuals, reports only a 5.2% population count.
  
  The “10%” study was busted a long time ago as lacking rigor, scientific method and as being done in a population that was already biased towards homosexuality. This is old news, even in the LGBT communities, please do your homework.k
  
  Here, for your edification:
  
  http://williamsinstitute.law.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/Gates-How-Many-People-LGBT-Apr-2011.pdf
  
  Please, don’t walk away upset that somebody used facts against you, instead, study, learn and, if you’re honest, change your position on the 10% number. Or fight and keep up your incorrect position and label yourself dishonest. Your choice.

  its litteraly the 4th bullet point
  
  Estimates of those who report any lifetime same-sex sexual behavior and any same-sex
  sexual attraction are substantially higher than estimates of those who identify as LGB.
  An estimated 19 million Americans (8.2%) report that they have engaged in same-sex
  sexual behavior and nearly 25.6 million Americans (11%) acknowledge at least some
  same-sex sexual attraction.

  Acknowledging some attraction is not “gay”. A woman can find another woman attractive, but not want to sleep with her. Same for a guy. You can be the manliest man in Timbucktwo, and still be able to say “That guy over there is a snappy dresser and comes across as very handsome”. In fact, in popular vernacular, it’s a recognized trait of being secure in one’s own sexuality to not be afraid to say things like that. I’m assuming here that you are somewhat familiar with the basic culture of these united States of course.
  
  I know you had to try to save face, but facts are facts kid. Here’s the first bullet point, which you skipped over:
  
  “An estimated 3.5% of adults in the United States identify as lesbian, gay, or bisexual and
  an estimated 0.3% of adults are transgender. ”
  
  I see however, that you appear to have chosen the path of dishonesty. It is to be expected, since Leftists cannot ever…EVER…admit error in their ideology nor in their own pronouncements. If there is error, it’s with somebody else, always. That’s how dogmatic minds work. We get it. That’s fine and well, as it demonstrates everything I felt it would demonstrate, and I thank you for your predictability and allowing me to lead you without too much effort. At this point, you have divested yourself of intellectual credibility, chosen to prove that you are dishonest before the assembled readers, and thus any further conversation with you would be an exercise in futility.

  You’re embarrassing yourself, friend.
  
  The 8.2% who engaged in behavior and didn’t identify as LGBT can be easily explained by women (usually) who reluctantly enter threesomes under the strong pressure of their boyfriend/husband and engage in the behavior, but did not enjoy it. I know of two women in my own circle of acquaintences who did just that, regretted it, divorced their husbands and went through long periods of self loathing as a result. In your limited world view (due to a need to never be wrong), you just labeled them as gay. Congratulations.
  
  The mistake your making is elementary, you’re inferring identification without supplemental supporting evidence. In other words, you’d be labeling ducks as “fish” because they both swim in a pond, based on swimming alone. Inference of that sort can get you in trouble statistically, which is why people don’t apply labels in real science based only on inference.

  Unsupportable supposition. I can do that too, and it would be equally as wrong. For example “Every flock of ducks has at least one duck that cannot breathe air”. Now, the question is, does every single flock of ducks have one existing duck that cannot breathe air, or did I make that up out of thin air, present it as fact, and then try to build an argument around it?

  BTW, supporting traditional marriage instead of gay marriage does not equal hate. Disagreeing with someone does not mean hating him. I disagree with you on probably everything but does that mean I hate you? Uh, no. It’s a pity you can’t wrap your little brain around that.
  
  Disagree:
  1: to fail to agree ; 2: to differ in opinion ; 3: to cause discomfort or distress ; 4: to contain different information, or to produce different results
  
  Hmmmmm, doesn’t look like “hate” is in the definition. Let’s check synonyms, shall we?
  “be discordant, be dissimilar, clash, conflict, contradict, counter, depart, deviate, differ, discord, disharmonize, dissent, diverge, run counter to, vary, war”
  
  Nope, “hate” is not listed there. Then again, I didn’t get those from the liberal version of the dictionary/thesaurus so if there’s another progressive edition out there specifying “hate” as the equivalent of disagreeing, then by all means, let us know. :)
  
  Oh yeah, and bless your little heart, you poor dear. Have a great day!

  Also, curious Red, if economics trump holding true to one’s values in your world, doesn’t that make you exactly what your side accuses the Right of being, people only concerned with making money at any cost?

  Warning a bit too truthful for the pure and prudent but please don’t remove.
  
  RBlack,
  
  Have you ever thought of a pictorial puzzle where somebody forcefully puts two identical pieces together and one filled with poop or another puzzle where the pieces are again identical but can only be attached using a tool or upside down but never quite correctly, fully fit, and regardless, how you try to accept it these as loving, it is just messed-up sex….it just doesn’t function as intended, is always creepy and disgusting, and unable to be reproductive without assistance from the true opposite sex.
  
  Please forgive me, I am just exhausted at the dance around the truth. Abortion is the killing of babies. BF and CL is disgusting, wrong, and unproductive.
  
  “Disgust is an evolved psychological system for protecting organisms from infection through disease avoidant behaviour. This ‘behavioural immune system’, present in a diverse array of species, exhibits universal features that orchestrate hygienic behaviour in response to cues of risk of contact with pathogens.” Article: Disgust as an adaptive system for disease avoidance behaviour

  “Have you ever thought of a pictorial puzzle where somebody forcefully puts two identical pieces together and one filled with poop”
  
  Uhm, no. I have never thought of a pictorial puzzel made of identical peices filled with poop. Thats a new one
  
  “Its just messed up sex”
  
  Ok lets say it is. If two people enjoy “messed up sex” and they only do it with themselves, then what do you care?
  
  and dont give me the “well i dont care what they do just dont THROW IT IN MY FACE”
  
  how are they throwing it in your face? by holding hands and hugging in public? should we make a law agains straight people being affectionate in public? a lot of people don’t want to see that

  Apparently that was a one day thing.
  Maybe too many folks got the runs, ptomaine or chicken flu.

  I find it continually amusing that you cannot make a single post, to anybody who is “against” your ideology, without hurling ad hominem. It makes me question the need to even bother to respond to you.
  
  And no, I understand business just fine, thank you. Maybe in your view it’s great to be amoral and sell out your principles for a buck, and that would surely explain why you’re on the Left and harbor resentment towards businessmen, but fact is lots of businesses do quite well running on their owner’s stated principles. Not everybody is the type that you’ll find in the Left, who will sell their souls for a piece of silver.

  Wacko – Yet catering to the LGBT perverts isn’t good for business. The Chick Fil A appreciation day on August 1 showed that.

  GREAT PETER’S GHOST . . . I want you to think about this:
  
  “I find it continually amusing that you cannot make a single post, to anybody who is “against” your ideology, without hurling ad hominem. It makes me question the need to even bother to respond to you.”
  
  I employ ad hominem attacks with great regularity. I love em. That’s the difference between me and you and your friends here – I admit it.
  
  (wait . . . keep thinking)
  
  However, my post that you responded to doesn’t have an ad hominem attack in it. I find that curious.

  Wacko – Then don’t expect anybody to be tolerant of you losers while you hypocritically preach it down our throats while practicing the opposite.

  @wango, I have gone back and forth with him on the same issue. He thinks mentioning any other person is an “ad hominem” attack.
  
  He doesn’t understand english….. or at least latin.

Don’t cave Chick-fil-A’, it’s better to be right in the eyes of God than the eyes of man!

  Man created god. Not the other way around. And you cant prove otherwise. So your comment is in theory only.

  Suppositional comment lacking evidence, since nobody has any way of knowing one way or the other, by definition. Try harder.

  Wacko – Except he’s not right and neither are you Marxists. You’re just a stupid nihilist who wants to make everybody equally poor, miserable, and stupid as you are.
