    I'm sure they're devastated by that.

    It's a legit question that you don't want to answer because, A. you don't have an answer, or B. it blows your argument out of the water.

    And one of the quickest ways to get African-Americans mad is to compare their struggle in the 50s and 60s to gay rights. There have never been separate water fountains or restaurant counters or bathrooms or schools for gays.

    You tryng to tell me that it's that much of an effort to publicly state or even think that if it's bad for CFA's CEO to contribute money to organizations against gay marriage, it's worse for entire countries to kill and imprison gays, let alone their treatment of women? Give me a break. Doesn't women being second- or third-class citizens in many countries bother you in the slightest?

    What is the political benefit of coming out against Muslim atrocities? Or any bad stuff that doesn't allow for brow-beating the other side? It's better to completely ignore things like that and instead accuse others of hating entire groups of people. Nuance and perspective are for pussies.

    If you eat at Chick-Fil-A because they are against gay marriage, yet buy things from Amazon, you are a hypocrite.

    So how many defenders of traditional marriage here are married, and haven't had sex out of wedlock, been divorced, or married someone who was divorced?

    Not sure I am a "defender of traditional marriage" in this sense. I am profoundly leery of government's being given the power to dictate what shall now be recognized as a marriage. I've been married for 20 years, and neither my wife nor I had ever been married before (but neither of us had a "clean slate" on our wedding day, if you get my drift). Am I therefore a hypocrite for my leeriness?
