Huckabee responds to planned kiss-in at Chick-fil-A

National Same-Sex Kiss Day at Chick-fil-A wasn't planned as a rebuttal to former Gov. Mike Huckabee's Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day, but many will see it that way.

People across the country lined up at their local Chick-fil-A restaurants Wednesday to show their support of the Atlanta-based restaurant.

Huckabee declared Aug. 1 as “Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day” after the company's Chief Operating Officer Dan Cathy came under fire for comments he made in which he affirmed his view that the biblical definition of marriage should be upheld.

But Wednesday is just the first of two key dates for the chicken chain. The second, organized by gay rights supporters in response to Cathy's comments, will happen on Friday.

Organizers of National Same-Sex Kiss Day at Chick-fil-A say on their Facebook page that the event was set up before Huckabee announced his plans for Wednesday, and was not created as a response to his appreciation day.

Huckabee said Thursday morning he does not have a problem with the protest.

“That's America,” he said on Fox News. “As long as they're orderly. As long as they don't disrupt the flow of customers and traffic.”

    I think we should all go back and pack the place so that they can't get in. I'll be there supporting Chick.fil.A

      THIS IS A smart idea – the trouble not all can go there at the same time. But we can all purchase to go or drive through. Is same sex (passionate) kissing not obscene because owners or franchisee can charge that behavior as obscene unfit for a decent eating place? The most effective idea I suppose will be holding a prayer vigil while this scene is being repeated. Prayer is the best for a situation like this. Please pray for the good of all. Mr. Cathy, president of this company is a decent christian man. If he was expressing his belief and faith, he has every right to do so, much more if he is a student of the Bible. The homosexual community by behaving to extreme on this case will lose the support of decent people in this country. My thought on this is for the Gay community to establish a dialogue with Mr. Cathy – after all, the company has many homosexual employees. Instead of reacting and planning "an eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth" bashing of the restaurants, the Gay community should offer the other cheek. Afte rall many of them are Christians as well. Who knows, this way they will be able to make Mr. Cathy re-think his personal position on this matter. After all, the restaurant doors are wide open to the gay community. But kissing and making a public spectacle of themselves will just drive deeper the animosity of people if any towards the gay community.

      • Outraged

        QUEERS are Not Christians and ALL of them are going Straight to HELL – Sodomy is an ABOMINATION to God – you need to read the Bible – they ALL should be Hanged about the neck until DEAD (or Stoned)!!!!

        • WesTexan

          That's not the attitude Jesus has toward them. He died for ALL. We know as a matter of fact, they do get saved and healed of their aberration—regardless of what the homosexual community says. It happens often. Their acts are abominable to God and Believers, but God grants repentance to those who seek Him.

          • outraged

            HELLO – Is Anybody home in there? Jesus turned them over to a REPROBATE MIND – they Cannot go to heaven and are most assuredly going to HELL – I did Not give attitude toward them but FACT – If you want Jesus ATTITUDE, though, try reading His conversation with Abraham over Lot and Sodom and Gomorrah in Genesis!!!!

          • Wesley

            it is people like you and Westboro Baptist Church who stoke their fires of hatred. we are called not to return evil for evil, but evil with good. if they hate us without a true cause then they will start to look foolish will finally be ignored.

          • Evermyrtle

            You are correct. self righteousness can send a person to hell, also because they cannot see that you are sinners, too.As long as you think you are near perfect and cannot see your own faults you cannot be saved.

            Luke 11: 39-40

            39 And the LORD said unto him, " Now do you Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness.
            40. You fools, did not he that made that which is without make that which
            is within also?"

            Luke 14:8-10
            8. When you are bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honorable man than you be bidden of him;
            9. And he that bade you, and him come and say to you, Give this man place; and you begin with shame to take the lowest room.
            10. But when you re bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that bake you come, he may say unto you, Friend, go up higher: then shall you have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with you.
            11. Fro whosoever exalts himself shall be abased; and eh that humbles himself shall be exalted.

            In another scripture it says not to think more of yourself than you ought.

          • mallen11

            The ONLY thing that sends people to hell is NOT believing in Jesus Christ as their savior. It is the only unpardonable sin. I have known homosexuals who became believers and changed their ways. It was through the ministry of our church. The gay community needs the Lord Jesus Christ as their savior and as believers we have the responsibility to help them know Him. If there is even just a spark of positive volition to get information about Christ the Holy Spirit will make sure they get the message. His power is far superior and we must trust Him for our guidance in witnessing to them or anyone else.

          • Evermyrtle

            Self righteousness, itself will not send you to hell, except when it prevents you from accepting JESUS CHRIST as your SAVIOR, because you trust yourself too much to accept HIM.

            Sinning against the HOLY GHOST is the the unpardonable sin. The HOLY GHOST is the third part of the TRINITY, along with GOD AND JESUS CHRIST.

            The “unpardonable sin”
            -
            Note in Mark 3:23 says that Christ died for ALL sins. So, the

            ”unpardonable sin” is not a sin in itself.
            In fact, there’s such thing as an “unpardonable sin.” It is listed as a sin for reasons of
            nomenclature and categorizing. All sins
            listed in the Bible were poured out upon Christ on the cross – 1 Pet 2:24; 2
            Cor 5:21. As a result, the “unpardonable
            sin” is really an “unpardonable act.” The “unpardonable act” is the act of unbelief
            = rejection of Christ.

            The
            Character of the “Unpardonable Sin (or Act)”:

            1.
            It is an act committed by an
            unbeliever.

            2.
            It is impossible for the believer
            to commit the “unpardonable sin” – Isa 1:18; 44:22; 1 John 1:7; Ps 113:12

            3.
            It is a single sin or act. It is not progressive or repetitious, except
            in its expressions. If you reject the
            gospel, you may continue to reject it.

            4.
            There is nothing in the plan of
            God which provides forgiveness for it.

            5.
            It is condemned. John 3:18

            6.
            The alternative to this act is to
            believe in Christ and be saved. If
            rejection persist up to death, then there is no hope and no help.

            Mt 12:31 Therefore I say to you, any sin and
            blasphemy shall be forgiven men [at the
            cross], but blasphemy [maligning –
            John 16:8-12] against of
            the Spirit [Holy Spirit] shall not be
            forgiven [rejection of the gospel].

            Character of the “Unpardonable Sin (or Act)”:

            unbeliever.

            It is IDIOTS like you who allow them to continue their ABOMINABLE works against God – God HATES sin, so go right ahead, call God a HATER and see if He cares – and even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God Gave them over to a REPROBATE mind, to do those things which are not convenient!!!! – they are REPROBATES and therefore CANNOT be saved!!!!

            It was the media who showed the " Christians" at Westboro, that moved me away from God for so many years! I couldn't stop nor cure what became of me during 4th an 5th grade, growing up Catholic, BUT one thing stands out to me, and I'm sure through the Holy Spirit, in Romans 1:26-29, is the phrase, "BECAUSE THEY REFUSE TO ACKNOWLDEGE ME" i acknowledge Him, His Son, and the Holy Spirit everyday, I've not touched a man in 20 years and 2 months and it's because He's moved them away from me. He's working with me today. Get Enlightened

          • WesTexan

            So you're saying that John 3:16 is a lie? So God didn't really love the whole world for which He gave His own Son? Just the part of the world that you've decided is deserving? How do you explain those who have repented (changed direction) of their sinful lifestyle and accepted Christ as their Savior? Jesus is able to seek and to save those who are lost. You're kind of all over the map there—too much outrage (attitude) and not enough clarity.

            Jehovah (three men) appeared to Abraham, but two angels appeared to Lot.

            In one clever stroke, you have completely dismissed the New Testament and the age of Grace. Good luck with that! I'll pray for you.

            Pride, self-righteousness,and hatred are all listed as abominations before God, so you will follow those for whom you show so much hate into the pit. Hatred damages only the heart it inhabits. If you don't ask God to change your heart it will get so hardened that you will never let Him in again. I only hope you will be joining us in heaven

          • MrBillyD

            Jesus died to take away our sins, not to make it easier for us to keep them.

          • PPTA

            Yes, the Lord Jeus died for all of Humanity. God so loved he world he sent his only begotten Son here to do just that, shed his blood for all of us.
            However, do you accept him as your Savior and King? Have you asked him to take control of your life? After that, have you read his words? Not just heard them, but read them your self? That is the only way to put on the entire armour of the Lord, as said in Ephesians, Chapter 6, verses 11 through 17. Read it yourself. Then start with the first of the New Testament, the Gospel of Matthew, and read it all to the way to book of Revlations. Read his words your self, ask the Holy Spirit to teach you the meaning of those words. Don't believe anyone one, just believe what you yourself read. Eternal life is what it is all about. Not life here on Earth. Do you want eternal life? The choice is yours.

          • nursepat

            I say again it is NOT our responsibility to MAKE them choose GOD, just take the first step of letting them see His love. God will put people into their paths to disciple those who repent. Some plant, some water, and some harvest, that is the way the Bible says we work.

          • Dennis

            Repentance is the key word there now isnt it.This was never about that.The militant gay agenda is to force there sodomy on all to make there sin not a sin to make it acceptable.There is no repentance there at all now is there.This is whats wrong with christianity.Standing by and not rebuking these reprobates.Bottom line.Either they repent or they will be destroyed but ya cant help them by holding hands accepting them and singing kum-bi aw

          • nursepat

            The fact is that we KNOW that their lifestyle is a sin. Just because they say there is no gravity doesn't make it so; same with God , just because they say He doesn't exist doesn't make it so. We are called, just as the prophets of old to remind this nation of the heights from which we've fallen, and how much further we can fall without Him.

          • WesTexan

            Your assumptions are so far off the charts, it's sad. You're assuming things about me that you are clueless about. The whole world lies in the evil one. It's not just homosexuals, it's the whole world, according to the Word of God. But this discussion is about homosexuals—I get it—and their sinful lifestyle. And yes, most definitely there are those caught in the most grotesque of sins who repent and come to complete salvation and are healed. It happens every day. Sharing the Gospel of repentance and salvation with any sinner, no matter what the sin, is not "holding hands and singing kum-bi aw [sic]." You seem not to have much experience bringing people to repentance and seeing them get soundly saved—born again. I don't know which brand of Christianity you belong to—if any, but it certainly doesn't sound like any relation to the Body of Christ. I don't have to rebuke anyone. When I share the Gospel, it is God that convicts of sin, not me. It is God who shines the light on their evil ways and grants repentance, not me. If they turn it down, they aren't turning me down; I don't take it personally. They are turning down God, and what happens to them at that point is in His hands, not mine. I'm not invested in their sin. I'm invested in God and His saving power. Maybe it's just that you don't know that power. You should ask Him about it.

        • http://www.facebook.com/waco910 Bill Brandenburg

          Maybe you should read ALL the Bible. God loves each of us the same no matter what/who we are. He will judge us all and decide where and when we go!

          • Mys77

            God is clear what is sinful. He is clear that he loves us, He is also clear about repenting and coming to Him for forgiveness. If gays say forgive me of everything but my homosexual behavior…. that is not repentence… that is nothing more than rebellion…. and as Christians… if we don't stand up to that…we are not witnessing salvation through Jesus Christ. Once you receive Christ… no one would ever think of engaging in such disgusting behavior. Repent and be made new unto Christ.

          • http://twitter.com/freakforfringe freakforfringe

            Mys77, our purpose as Christian is to be like Christ to those in our sphere of influence…we do not have to approve of their behavior but we must love them as our heavenly Father does…we can also disciple them but they ultimately have to make the decision to change….prayer and gentle guidance is what we can do…let God do the rest…

          • Mys77

            Of course we love them, but loving them does not mean we let the homos infilterate our communities, our schools, the media on TV, and our churches and the laws of our nation and rewrite the biblical words and the definition of marriage…. Jesus would not…. Jesus would not let such things touch His people, nor would He want His people not stand up for Him and His purpose. You sound too meek….. when you need to be a warrior for the homosexuals souls and fight for them….because if you don't you are leading them away from Christ and into total darkness.

          • fliteking

            I agree with your premise but that being true does not mean we need to be accepting or inclusive of the behaviors of the gay lifestyle.

            Further, in the end times Christians will be attacked and judged, have you given any thought to the same as it applies to Mr. Cathy and his employees / patrons?

            outraged, I am glad that God had mercy on me, a sinner. Since the Bible is clear that all have fallen short and have sinned, wouldn't that mean that everyone, including those who are now Christians be destined for hell unless something changed? What was that something? The New Testament is very clear that those who call upon the name of Jesus, believe that He is God, was raised from the dead and paid the penalty for their sin will be saved. There is no qualification.. such as anyone who has committed this or that particular sin. And what about Gal 5: "19Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality,
            20idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions,
            21envy,d
            drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you
            before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of
            God." Have you ever done any of that since the time you became a Christian? Enmity and strife maybe? Jealousy? Anger? Rivalry? I can tell you that just about any honest Christian will tell you they have done one or more of those things to some degree or another. But Christ's atonement covers past, present and future sins. Praise God, or we all would be lost. Except my the poster here calling themselves "outrage." The name itself implies a violation of this passage.

          • mallen11

            Anyone can become a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ until the day they die no matter what they have done. Even Saul (Paul) murdered Christians. The man having sex with his mother changed his mind and confessed his sins to God the Father before he died the sin unto death. Sin is sin and Christ died on the cross for all the sins of mankind — including homosexuality — and any one who believes in Christ will be saved. All have fallen short of the glory of God and God judged all sins when Christ died for them on the cross so our sins can be acknowledged to God the Father and forgiven; including homosexuality.

            2 Corinthians 5:21 For He hath made Him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him.

            2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance (change of mind towards Christ).

          • Mys77

            Believe, yes… but repentence is necessary…. and God knows when you mean it…. and if a homo believes in Christ but won't turn from his sinful life but continue thinking that at the moment of his death he can repent because he fears death….NOT because he is remorseful and is sorry for how he led his life…. I believe God will know his heart and whether he really is remorseful…. or is trying to lie his way into heaven. I mean how can a homosexual live his life, know about Jesus and sin, reject Jesus all his life because he wants to live his sinful life and not Christs way and not be afraid at the moment of his death….Christ will say I don't know you. Because if a homo knew Christ, he would live for him first and foremost… and not choose his lifestyle over his salvation.

          • mallen11

            Your comment is very legalistic, religious and work oriented regarding salvation. We are not to put the cart before the horse. We can't don't anything for salvation except to believe. We can't even "ask" Jesus to come into our heart. Why would He want to come into a place of filthy rags? Or in Jer 17:9
            The heart is more deceitful than all else and is desperately sick; who can
            understand it?)

            Gal 3:26 For you are all sons of God through FAITH in Christ Jesus. We need to understand God's Word from the origianl languages to know what God wants us to do. I hear what you say all the time and wonder how anyone can be saved these days. It is simply believe in Jesus Christ when we hear the gospel presented correctly; nothing else.

            Greek “metanoeo” (met-an-o-eh’-o) – “to change one’s mind” (mental).

            No one can pray to God before salvation so no one can repent of their sins before salvation. We can only change our mind about Christ and believe. The Bible says to believe by faith alone in Christ alone and all sins of the unbeliever are forgiven for they were judged on the cross when He took the sins of all mankind on Him the last three hours and then He said, "It is finished." Feeling sorry for sins or repenting of sins before salvation is purely works that God does not accept. Jesus Christ took care of all sins when He died for them. After salvation, when one sins we confess or acknowledge our sins to God the Father and they are forgiven since they were judged on the cross. Repentance
            in salvation; a change of mind towards Christ – Luke 13:3, 5; 15:7, 10; 16:30-31; Act 17:30-31; 20:21; Rom 2:4; 2 Pet 3:9

          • Mys77

            You seem like you are talking in circles, and a bit nonsensical. The salvation and what Christ said is very simple indeed that even a child can understand it. Believing in Christ is believing he is the Son of God, that he can save us from our sins, that he was crucified and died and was risen… and that he intecedes for us to not be judged for our sins. You do realize, even non believers and other religons know of Christ, but have rejected all that he is and his salvation. I am not sure what point you are trying to make… but getting back to the topic at hand…. homos who know of Christ and reject Him all their life and think in the back of their mind the will say the sinners prayer on their death bed because they fear death, not that they are repenting and sorry for living as homosexual and rejecting Christ… is not truely seeking salvation or loving Christ.

          • mallen11

            When religion and legalism gets in one's way of understanding God's Word they will not see the truth. There are death bed conversions and it is not because they wanted to wait until they are about to die since most do not know when we will die. It doesn't matter what kind of life they lived; it all has to do with the grace of God who saves them at the moment they believe — including the thief on the cross. He probably did a lot of extremely bad things. The sinner's prayer is a farce — all one has to do is BELIEVE in the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation; nothing more.

            Acts 16:31 They said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved…”

            Hear the gospel, understand the gospel (through the Holy Spirit) and believe the gospel of Jesus Christ.

          • Mys77

            I think you are confused about what I was saying…. Believing in Jesus is believing in who and what He is and the salvation from judgement. Don't misunderstand… there are people who "believe" Jesus existed and know everything about his teachings and the biblical stories…but have never confessed Him as their personal savior and asked for Him to save them and to come into their lives to lead them to walk with Christ. Even muslims believe there was a Christ. The scripture you quoted needs the entire passage as well as who it was addressing..To me, the passage is saying believe I am the Son of God and you will be saved because He has the power to forgive sin…..and if you believe he is who he says he is…. you the sinner will be saved. This is what i was trying to relate you, Jesus knows your heart and your thoughts before you do. And someone who does NOT have a heart seeking forgiveness from sin…. God will know…. and Jesus is the only one who can intercede. Gays reject Jesus and continue to engage in sin… and won't let it go, nor confess their sin. One must have a personal relationship with the only one who will save them… that is Jesus.

          • mallen11

            First of all you did not comprehend my complete
            comment. Read it again. There is nowhere in the Bible that says to “believe”
            one has to “ask Christ to save them and come in their lives”. That is “works”
            salvation and is not acceptable by God.
            Many people believe that Jesus existed and know about Him but they never
            “believe in Him as their savior” and THAT is the difference. You said it in one
            sentence what I am saying and I quote you, “To me, the passage is saying
            believe I am the Son of God and you will be saved because He has the power to
            forgive sin…..and if you believe he is who he says he is…. you the sinner
            will be saved.” That is all it takes to become a Christian. Too many people think they have to add to salvation
            to be saved and every time it is “works” when Jesus Christ paid it all. BTW, there are people who are Christians living
            in sin all the time who are not gays; are you saying they will go to hell too? There is only one sin that will send people to
            hell and it is NOT believing in the Lord Jesus Christ as their savior.

          • Mys77

            I never said anything about works to get into heaven. Jesus knows who are playing the part of Christian…. but know not Christ. To know Christ one would never thinkg of acting the way they did before. That would be like the murderer come to Christ for forgiveness and claim to be saved and changed… and then with purpose and no guilt… go and kill again. That person has not been changed has no love for Christ and embraces sin and not his salvation.

          • mallen11

            Yes, you did use "works" for salvation when you said people have to "ask" Christ to come into their life. Where is that in the Bible? Or ask Christ to save them. Or feeling sorry for their sins or repenting before believing — all are "works" that don't count in salvation. You may not recognized them as "works" but they are because they are trying to help God with their salvation when all we have to do is hear the gospel, understand the gospel (through the Holy Spirit) and believe the gospel of Jesus Christ. I am sorry you do not understand what the Bible teaches about salvation and I would be wasting my time to continue to explain. May God the Holy Spirit guide you to the truth through His Word taught by someone who knows the original languages and can explain it better than I can.

          • Glen S

            The point is that engaging in a sin is not equivalent to rejecting Jesus. Is that simple enough?

            If they were the same, then many Christians today or on this site for that matter would be in danger of the Judgement.

          • Glen S

            Let me answer your question with a question. How can a Christian continue to demonstrate hatred, use profanity, speak vitriol, yell at others who have made simple mistakes, view pornography… The list goes on. Do these actions immediately remove the seal of the Holy Spirit?

          • outraged

            God shall smite thee, thou whited wall – they are REPROBATE and are Beyond Repentance – Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright. For ye Know that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was REJECTED: for he found No place of Repentance, Though he SOUGHT IT CAREFULLY WITH TEARS!!!!

          • mallen11

            That is of course correct because Esau did not change his mind towards the Lord Jesus Christ known to OT people as the Messiah. Only God knows those who will not believe such as the Pharaoh of Egypt who never believed along with all those who died going after Moses and the children of Israel.

            Outraged, we all fall short of the Glory of God, God works His wonders in us when we accept His Son, Jesus into our hearts….try to see these people as He does…with unconditional love, grace and mercy…

            Sin is sin. Sin is rebelion agains the Lord. Any sinner can be saved if they accept he Lord Jesus into their heart, and ask him for forgiveness and mean it. You can tell other people anything, even try and convince your self of anything. But, the Lord knos what is really in your heart. You can't fool him.
            Also, I am not a judge of anyone. That is not my position in life. that takes a higher power than me. Romans, Chapter twelve, right at he end ofthe chapter, Vengence is mine saith the Lord, I shall repay, if your enemy thirsts, give him a drink, if he hungers, give him food. and pray for your enemies, in so doing you heap burning coals upon his head.
            In Matthew there is a parabel, a master was harvesting his crop. He had agreed to pay a wage to the men and women who were there working for him. In the eleventh hour, he saw he needed more workers. He sent his servents out to get more. The wage he had originally offered, to the people who were there all day. He also offered to those who were called late. When some of the people who were there all day, complained, he told them to get away from him.
            To say a gay person can not be saved is not true, to say a dictator can not be saved, is not true. The Lord Jesus offers saving grace to everyone. No matter, man, woman, chilld, ederly, all races, it makes no differance.
            Jesus said in that day,many would call his name, and say, Lord, Lord, didn't we cast out devils and demons in your name? Didn't we do great works in your name? And Jesus said, he will say, "Get way from me you lawless ones, I never knew you".
            Matthew, Chapter seven, read verses thirteen and fourteen, read them, "Enter ye in at the Strait gate, for wide is the the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thre at
            Because Strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadith unto life, and few there be that find it.
            That parable, you are never to old, to great a sinner, to wake up one day, and repent. if you do, you are saved. And, your sins are forgiven, and forgoten.

          • outraged

          We have not a clue who will go to hell and who will not go to hell. GOD is the final judge after everything, end of life confessions, maybe, has been tallied up. We can tell a tree by the fruit it bears but we do not know when a person's eyes may be opened and that person repents and is forgiven. It is wrong for us to condemn anyone else to hell , we may be the one that will not make to the KINGDOM OF GOD, we simply do not know that.

          Many are called but few are chosen., Matt. 22:14

          • Mys77

            Well if you are that unsure about where you are headed… shouldn't you be a bit more proactive to be sure???? The bible tells us to live for Christ, be consumed with him, focus on him, pray and worship him…and to take everything we are and do and lay it at the foot of the cross.

          Remember the Bible says to hate the sin, but LOVE the sinner. Our aim should be to educate them and pull the blinders off that Satan has so skillfully placed over their eyes. If we have God in us we then must love these people so much that we will risk ridicule to offer them the message of life. It is not our responsibility to force them to accept, just show them the love of GOD, He'll do the rest.

          Really? So what does that make you? If you are a true Christian, then you need to review all of the instructions given by the Gospels and the Epistles concerning getting into Heaven.

          All sin results in a separation from God. The only way to heal reconcile that separate is to accept the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ.

          As to your violent and vitriolic pronouncement of judgement, you have now taken a nose dive into hate speech.

Go ahead. Gross the rest of us out. You are STILL wrong and we are STILL right.

      • nursepat

        I beg to differ. These people are not Christians until they acknowledge that this lifestyle is a sin and renounce it. There are christian counseling centers that have a pretty good history of helping people leave the lifestyle. I have heard one who succeeded say that he realized that it had nothing to do with love of the other, but obsession with that person. Love comes from GOD, obsession comes from Satan.

I know what Romans 1:26-32 says but God never gives up on anyone. I can't stand anything pertaining to homosexuality; it is disgusting to me but so are other sexual sins against children and rape against women. I personally believe they should get the death sentence.

            Say to them, 'As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign LORD, I take no
            pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that they turn from their ways and live. Turn! Turn from your evil ways! Why will you die, O house of Israel?'

      • OleDad48

        Since when did a different view constitute "hate"? Classic psychological projection. The weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth of gay activists, the anger and over-the-top rhetoric — this is the Gay Agenda. I oppose bestiality, but I don't hate horses or sheep. I oppose drinking while driving, but I don't hate those who drink. I oppose illegal immigration (nations consist of citizens) but don't hate illegal aliens. I disagree with Muslims in their views of God, submission, and violence, but I don't hate Muslims. I oppose abortion as the killing of human life, but I don't hate those who choose personal convenience over their own baby's life. I pray for them.

        Gays throw around the "hate" word much like Black activists throw around the word "racist." It is a means of demeaning those who oppose them on rational grounds.

        The tens of thousands who ate at Chick-fil-A yesterday do not hate Gays. They support the traditional freedom of a business owner to hold personal views without government persecution.

        Biblical prophecy finds Israel (which basically ceased to exist in 70 AD until 1948, when it was resurrected from the ashes of the Holocaust) standing utterly alone in a world of enemies. When they are finally attacked by the World, the end comes. Four years of Obama's presidency has weakened our support of Israel. He has also weakened our standing in the world. Sooner or later, America ceases to be a world power capable of coming to Israel's aid. Continuing trillion dollar deficit spending makes it sooner rather than later.

      Exactly. If a heterosexual couple were making out in a restaurant, they would be asked to stop and then asked to leave. It is inappropriate behavior. Of course, a gay kiss-in is designed to be an in-your-face act of defiance. Shameless. But that is part of the movement as well.

    Public display of affection extends to the edge of propriety. It must be done with great care and with good taste. Heterosexual display will always be more acceptable than the homo-version, and if the display of affection interfers with the normal operation of a business, customers should be asked to leave and, if unresponsive, summarily ejected. If they refuse to leave, the police should be called and respond by ejecting them from the property. They are not, and have not been good Chick-Fil-A customers and therefore are not needed for the franchise's success in the future. They should be singularly identified, and charged with malicious trespass, then, each one sued for loss of business. There is one place even queers are sensitive, and that is in the pocketbook.

    I drove past the Chick fil A in my town an hour ago, didn't see anyone inside. I really think the kiss-in thing is going to be a big flop, except maybe in San Francisco, Portland, OR., New York City, Boston, and Chicago. If they aren't buying and eating chicken sandwiches, and they are just sitting around kissing their gay pal, then they are loitering, and should be treated as such.

  • janie

    The only part that I see creating a problem goes right back to family issues. Chick-Fil-A is founded on family priciples as instruced in God's Word. Disgusting behavior would not be tolerated at these restaurants whether by gays or anyone else inparticular. Such immaturity. Sad we have no leader in Washington who could reprimand the gay community for trying to squelch the free speech of Christians. Huckabee is so proud to stand up for his faith and he is more respected than BO could ever be. BO just a short time ago, stated he did NOT approve of gay marriage. Did the gays demonstrate against him or spew hate phrases? The gay community is the group here that is being a bully and intolerant of others. All these enormous amounts of monies that are given by big corps and Hollywood so called stars-what happens to the money? Do you ever hear of any GOOD coming from gay groups or athesists? Good such as helping the poor, aiding eduacation, Etc. No, it is for the futherance of their "cause", to bring more disgrace to America. Another ploy by the fools in White house to cause dissension so elections are not thought about.

    If I am transgendered whom do I kiss, my brother or my sister?

  • GrizzMann

    I went there today for the kiss in, no kissing, had a breakfast muffin and went home. Much different than earlier this week.
    too bad I don't like chicken.

  • Sroesser

    I think this Chick-Fil -A situation has gotten too much attention. The Chritian community has antagonized the gay community in this. We as the Body of Christ need to bring the Kingdom of God into all sinful situations. For our struggles are not against flesh and blood , but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Ephesians 6:12. Until these people are taught the truth they will remain in sin. We need to bring God's light into dark places. We need to declare over them "Wake up, O sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you"

      Tut, Tut. so when we stand up for our rights you say Christians antagonized the gay community in this, no way get a grip and stop the guilt tripping.

    • mesaman

      No, the gay community became angered over this. Antagonism is a condition that can be selected or ignored. Homosexuals have the option of ignoring Christians, but they chose being the focus of attention and, if any wrong is has been done, it is succumbing to their childish antics. Which by the way we chose, it was not "done" to us.

  • PPTA

    If there is a kiss-in, all it will do is pour gas on the fire. It is amazing what I see going on today in many areas of our society. I don't hate Gays, I don't care what life style they choose. I am a Christain and a stright person. My family life, my reltionship wit my wife, is personal, and none of anyones elses business. They should be the same way. Privacy, is rivacy. That I do respect. If hey want gay andlisbeian pastors, I really don't care. that is their choice.
    What do I think regarding their choice? We all pay a price by the choices we make. And the choices we make, the one that is the most important of all, in his lifetime, Have you accepted Jesus as or your Savior? Have you actually read his words your self? Or have you twisted and rejcted him as your Savior, and tried to make his words in a twisted way, fit what ever you are into. Not only being Gay, but adultry, stealing, cheating, drugs and alchol, what ever you are into. rying to justufy yourself and how you live. Are your choices according to what his words are? That is he only important choices you have to make, over all in this life.
    As long as citizens obey the laws of the land they live in, and don't try and drag me into the choices they may make, that I will not make, I really don't care what they do. I am or their judge. That takes a higher power than myself, or even you. We all need to be very creful of he choices we make. You may not believe it, but, soon the court may be open, the judge will be seated, and the judging may start. When, I have no idea. that also isn't up to me.

  • gertie

    This is about freedom of speech. The CEO said he believes marriage is between a man and a woman. He is entitled to his individual opinion. Freedom of speech- something all nations don't have. That statement is a far cry from being anti gay. He isn't. I know he loves his fellowman. He believes in the sanctity of marriage. Gays can create an alternative name for their relationship. Domestic partnership tells me of their sincerity. As to protests, they are getting out of hand in so many areas. The occupiers have closed businesses, left filth, try to overpower, done millions of dollars in damage. To me, that is just plain illegal. The support of chick a fil is a orderly demonstration. So proud of the people and their manner of exhibiting a protest.

    • Robert30

      The CEO of greasy fried chicken land loves gay folk. He even knows one. Most gay person pay more in taxes that the average americans because they make more. When they pay property taxes it includes schools, which they don't use. They support many community functions as well as make the world more beautiful by design.
      This CEO provides funds to groups that deal in hate against gay people, people of colour and
      people who just chose to hate as their religion of choice.
      Since gay people are in every part of society from medicine, teaching, building and serving etc., they deserve the very same rights as any other American. If they chose to be married they should be married in the church of their choice or no religious edifice.
      They don't need any xian giving them a horrible piece of fast food when they can eat the best food in town and maintain their lovely svelte bodies. YUMMY!

  • Chris P

    So you do realize that a certain proportion of the chickens you eat are gay – right? Are you sure you won't catch "The Gay".

    Hucaka-buck would eat anything that didn't get him first. He is just another fat, ugly so-called xian.

    It often appears gays and lesbians have a bad habit of using filthy language when confronted by some opposition, and, yes, I realize some heterosexuals do as well, therefore we should try to be desecrate and polite as this is a very personal, bedroom subject that should NOT be aired in public!

  • squeekers

    Anything God said to Abraham or Lot about homosexuality was under the law. While it is still wrong and disgusting The law is over. God gave the law so that humankind could see how impossible it was to keep it. We, as Christians are under grace, a free gift. People go to hell for rejecting Jesus, not for their sins. Jesus took on ALL the sins of the world, he was payment for everyone's sin. Sadly, many choose not to accept that and send themselves to hell. God never sends anyone to hell, it's a choice. Homosexuality is no worse to God than any other sin. Jesus went to the cross for every person on the planet all they have to do is accept Him. I have to say it's almost comical when I speak to people who seemingly support gay rights but I see the disgust in their face when they mention gays and hear it in their voice. There's a God sized hole in everyone's heart.

  • Gizmo

    So far, here in Indy, I understand that this is planed for 8PM tonight? HHHMMMM. not prime time…. 'cause they're afraid that their 8 or so people won't be noticed unless that have a specific time to meet? and not a busy time so that all 8 or so of them can be seen?

  • new1949

    Sorry people but no way am I going to be at this get together, the shame of it is the employees will have no choice but to serve these disgusting people and view their public obscene act. Just the thought of makes me puke must less seeing it. Beside my Bible says if you associate with pigs long enough you become a pig.I do pray that God opens the eyes of these people and they will see what a abomination this sinful act is. I am fairly certain that no one can change these people but God himself. Someone standing up and supporting a right to free speech buy buying a product that the company they agree with is a whole lot different than the disgusting thing they are going to do. Now if they said they were going their on Friday to buy a product to support this companies policies of which is to not discriminated against anyone, that would not be a problem.

  • Luong

    I say this, whenever one of those Hell-bound perverts start coming in there, we should have Bible preachers ready to preach. Believe me, the last thing these perverts want to do is sit and listen to Bible sermons.

          As usual, you post nonsense. I do not agree that the gays were doing the right thing with their protest against Chick-Fil-A. The owner of that company has every right to voice his opinion.

    I've got a real problem with 2 guys or 2 girls locking up lips just to make a statement at Chick Fil A. Nobody at CFA on Wednesday was there kissing and hugging or anything but buying chicken.

    Chicken and Marriage by ©2012 Michael Martin
    08/03/2012
    I have to say something.

    Much has been said about the controversy surrounding Chick-Fil-A, marital
    “rights,” and free speech. The whole nation is caught up in it, and throngs of
    people have taken up positions on opposing sides of a fierce culture war. In the
    midst of boycotts, shows of support for Chick-Fil-A, and numerous articles, all
    written from one bias or another (including this one), thousands of
    rank-and-file Americans are caught up in a fierce, if often confused and
    misunderstood, debate.

    A scan of Facebook will quickly show gay
    marriage advocates proclaiming how Jesus preached tolerance, or how the Bible
    doesn’t condemn homosexuality, or that God desires equality for everybody. More
    than that, you’ll see those who stand for traditional marriage between one man
    and one woman called “haters.” Sadly, angry comments have been made by people on
    both sides of the issue, and much of the controversy is driven by
    misunderstandings of what the Bible says, what constitutes "hate," and what we,
    as individuals, have the right and/or the obligation to do.

    First, what does the Bible, which is cited
    by so many people on both sides of this argument, actually say? Does it really
    condemn homosexuality? Does it condone polygamy and bigotry? Didn’t Jesus say we
    should never, ever judge anyone, ever?

    There are many issues here, and we will
    examine the actual words of the Bible on each one. To begin, does the Bible
    really say that homosexuality is wrong? Yes. Repeatedly, and very strongly. Read
    on.

    Romans 1:25-28
    …They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and
    worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator–who is forever
    praised. Amen.
    Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even
    their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the
    men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for
    one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in
    themselves the due penalty for their perversion.
    Furthermore, since they did
    not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a
    depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done.

    1 Corinthians 6:9-10
    Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit
    the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor
    idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor
    thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit
    the kingdom of God.

    Leviticus 18:22
    Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is
    detestable.

    Not everyone may like it, but this is what the Bible says, and this is what
    it means. Homosexuality is, in the eyes of God, wrong.

    Does this mean we should hate gay people?
    Look again to the Bible–the same Bible that includes the passages we just
    examined. Evil should be hated, but people should be loved. This one passage
    from Romans chapter 12 makes both of these points plainly.

    Romans 12:9-21
    Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what
    is good. Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above
    yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving
    the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Share
    with God’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality.
    Bless those who
    persecute you; bless and do not curse. Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn
    with those who mourn. Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be
    willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited.
    Do not
    repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of
    everybody. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with
    everyone. Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for
    it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord. On the
    contrary:
    “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him
    something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.” Do
    not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

    So, the Bible says that homosexuality is evil, and that evil should be hated.
    That very SAME Bible also says that we should live at peace as much as possible,
    and leave the vengeance for evil to God. Now watch out, because that very SAME
    Bible ALSO shows that we are ALL sinners in one way or another…

    Romans 3:23
    For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of
    God.

    Psalm 14:2-3
    The Lord looks down from heaven on the sons of men to see
    if there are any who understand, any who seek God. All have turned aside, they
    have together become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even
    one.

    So, we are ALL sinners, gay and straight
    alike. It does little good to hate a person because they sin, because that
    obligates us to hate ourselves as well. If we hate sinners, then we HAVE to hate
    ourselves! Furthermore, of all the evil that we are supposed to hate, none
    should be more strongly or urgently hated as that evil which dwells in our OWN
    hearts.

    Matthew 7:4-5
    “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your
    brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say
    to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time
    there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of
    your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your
    brother’s eye.

    We are all sinners. We all do evil in some
    form. As has been stated by several people on Facebook, “don’t hate someone
    because they sin differently than you do.”

    Another front in this argument is about the
    Biblical definition of marriage. What is that, anyway? Some have argued that the
    Bible demonstrates polygamy and slavery, and this is true, but the mere presence
    of these circumstances in Scripture does not constitute God’s approval. The
    Bible contains historical accounts of numerous crimes, from theft to lies to
    murder, yet the mere presence of these events in the Bible does not mean that
    God wants us to behave in this way. Let’s examine this more closely.

    In the Old Testament, polygamy was a common
    practice, and while God does not speak out against it in Scripture, neither does
    He bless it. In fact, throughout the Bible, instances of polygamy almost always
    led to conflict and trouble, and it is rightly outlawed today.

    Concubines, who were essentially slave
    wives, were also a fairly common practice in Bible days. Concubines were often
    given as gifts to kings in the forging of treaties and the like. Once again,
    while God does not speak against this practice in the Scriptures, neither does
    He bless it. On the contrary, the practice of keeping concubines very often led
    to trouble. The most famous example is King Solomon, who had a ridiculous number
    of both wives and concubines. It is this very fact that led to Solomon’s
    downfall and, by extension, the collapse of the united kingdom of Israel.

    When God DOES speak directly to the issue
    of marriage, it is ALWAYS in the context of one man married to one woman. God
    made for Adam one woman to be his wife, and whenever the Scriptures give
    directives for marriage, it is always in the context of one man and one wife.
    For example:

    1 Corinthians 7:2-3
    But since there is so much immorality, each man
    should have his own wife, and each woman her own husband. The husband should
    fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her
    husband.

    Ephesians 5:28-31
    In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives
    as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. After all, no one
    ever hated his own body, but he feeds and cares for it, just as Christ does the
    church– for we are members of his body. “For this reason a man will leave his
    father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one
    flesh.”

    1 Timothy 3:2-3
    Now the overseer must be above reproach, the husband of
    but one wife, temperate, self- controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to
    teach, not given to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a
    lover of money.

    As far as what God wants or what Jesus
    preached or what marriage was intended to be, let the debate be settled. God has
    spoken very plainly to each of these issues.

    Of course, there are large numbers of
    people who simply don’t believe the Bible to be an authority in our world
    (Romans chapter one addresses this too). Fine. No one can be forced to believe
    the Bible or to live according to its precepts. It has to be a free choice. For
    those who choose not to live according to the Bible, the standards laid out
    therein seem strange. Nevertheless, many people, myself included, DO believe the
    Bible to be God’s Word and DO believe that it is the one standard by which we
    should live. That means that if the Bible defines stealing as a sin, then I
    believe that. If it defines murder as a sin, I believe that too. And yes, even
    if it defines homosexuality as a sin, I believe it.

    Now that we’ve seen what the Bible says
    about the matter, let’s go back to that “hate” issue. It’s one thing to engage
    in a sinful activity, such as stealing, for example, but it’s quite another
    thing to demand that the law should be changed so that stealing becomes an
    acceptable and even admirable thing to do. What the gay lobby is trying to
    accomplish is very similar. The objective is to make states not only accept the
    fact that gay couples live together, (which no one is trying to stop) but also
    to put their stamp of approval on it, requiring that such couples be given the
    same financial benefits that corporations and federal agencies give to
    traditional male/female couples. This, in effect, forces those people who hold
    the Bible to be God’s Word to watch their tax dollars go to support activities
    which violate their convictions.

    Is this hatred? To be sure, there are too
    many people who call themselves “Christians” but who are hostile toward the gay
    community, which as we’ve seen, is NOT how a Christian ought to conduct himself.
    However, as we’ve seen from the Scriptures, while we are supposed to hate the
    evil of sin, we are at the same time supposed to live at peace as much as
    possible. There are those who would assert that the droves of people overflowing
    from Chick-Fil-A restaurants on August 1st were haters, and that Chick-Fil-A
    itself is a hateful organization.

    But what did Dan Cathy, the president of
    Chick-Fil-A say? Did he call for the extermination of gays? Did he encourage
    people to round them up and ship them away? Did he, in fact, even speak an
    unkind word about gays at all? He affirmed that he opposed gay marriage, not
    that he opposed gay people. Mr. Cathy commented that God’s judgement is coming
    on America because we have turned our backs on God and His standards. Is this a
    strong statement? Certainly, although one with which I fully agree. But is it
    hate? Of course not. The man has convictions. He believes the Bible. It is the
    authority for his life, and he wishes to live and do business according to those
    convictions. He has every right to do so, and I applaud him for it. It has
    nothing to do with hatred. If the Bible isn’t the standard by which you live,
    it’s your choice, just as it is Mr. Cathy’s choice to live according to the
    Bible.

    At this point, some would point out that
    Chick-Fil-A has made repeated donations to organizations which lobby against gay
    marriage. Same answer. See the above paragraph. Now, some would argue that some
    of the organizations that Chick-Fil-A has donated to are certified hate
    groups.

    Certified? By whom? Who made them the
    authority on who is a hate group? Someone “certifies” you as a hater and
    everyone is supposed to agree with that without any debate? Really?

    What we have here is a disagreement in
    philosophy. A disagreement, not hatred. For the person who supports gay
    marriage and opposes what Chick-Fil-A is standing for, it is their right to vote
    with their pocketbooks and not eat there. That’s not hatred. That’s making
    yourself heard. Similarly, the droves of people who support Chick-Fil-A because
    they honor the principles for which Mr. Cathy and the Chick-Fil-A organization
    stand are not haters. They too, are making themselves heard.

    Finally, let’s look at tolerance. From the
    Scriptures, we see that, in the eyes of God, there are only two groups of
    people; those who belong to Him and those who do not. First, let’s look at those
    who don’t belong to God…

    God recognizes that we cannot be forced to
    love Him, and for this reason, He has given us a choice. We must all be able to
    freely make our choice. Will we serve God, or will we serve something else? It’s
    our choice, and no one can force us to make one choice over the other.

    For those who choose not to come to God’s
    party, they don’t have to, and indeed won’t be able to. The choice to keep
    oneself separated from God will result in eternal separation from God, just as
    has been chosen. No one will be in hell except for those who chose to be
    there.

    But for the one who chooses to be WITH God,
    on HIS terms, the landscape looks very different. It requires surrender. It has
    to be done HIS way, not ours, and it has to be a conscious, wholehearted,
    life-dominating commitment. But when that commitment is made, everything
    changes. Whatever you once were, you will become something new and different.
    Now, you will be part of the body.

    1 Corinthians 12:2-3
    The body is a unit, though it is made up of many
    parts; and though all its parts are many, they form one body. So it is with
    Christ. For we were all baptized by one Spirit into one body–whether Jews or
    Greeks, slave or free –and we were all given the one Spirit to drink.

    Colossians 3:11-14
    Here there is no Greek or Jew, circumcised or
    uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in
    all. Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves
    with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each
    other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive
    as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds
    them all together in perfect unity.

    Do you see the theme? In God’s family, there are no racial or cultural
    divides. People from all walks of life have come to be a part of God’s family,
    the body of Christ. Indeed, the family of God can include anyone from any walk
    of life and from any kind of background. Blacks, whites, Jews, Muslims, and
    people from every other kind of background are all invited–even gays–to join
    God’s family.

    And for those who choose to become part of
    God’s family by repenting of their former ways and making themselves God’s
    willing, wholehearted lifelong servants, a transformation will take place, just
    as it did for me. The walls that separate each other will fall. The thief will
    stop stealing. The adulterer will become faithful. The person who once followed
    a false faith will see the Truth. And yes, the gay will become straight, because
    their love for God will compel them to turn away from the sin that had
    previously kept them away. And while as children of God they will all still
    struggle with sin, they will not remain committed to it. They will stumble, to
    be sure, but then, they will confess and turn away from their sin, and strive to
    do better, simply because they love God.

    And in doing so, they will find freedom. No
    longer will they be slaves to the sin that had previously worked to destroy
    them. No longer will they be separated by prejudice and intolerance, because
    they will all have one thing in common; they are all God’s family, and to them,
    the only identity that matters is that they are children of God.

    Many people have become angry lately
    because of a fast-food chicken restaurant. The Bible has been misquoted. God has
    been misrepresented. People have been slandered.

    Let’s keep it all in the right perspective.

    This isn’t about a chicken sandwich. This is about each person’s freedom to
    make one very important choice: Will I follow God, or not?

    No one should be coerced to make one choice over the other. Each one must
    choose for themselves.

    Dan Cathy has chosen what he has chosen. So has Chick-Fil-A, and countless
    people on both sides of the issue. But at the end of the day, after all the news
    reports, Facebook posts and tweets, only one thing really matters.

    What will YOU choose?

    Joshua 24:15
    But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then
    choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your
    forefathers served beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land
    you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.”

    Jesus replied, "Haven't you read that in the beginning the Creator 'made them male and female'?—(Genesis 1:27) 5 He said, 'That's why a man will leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife. The two will become one.'—(Genesis 2:24) 6 They are no longer two, but one. So a man must not separate what God has joined together." Matthew 19

    Their response is so juvenile, and shallow it sounds like something a 5th grader would say, but i don't want to insult all 5th graders out there I'm sure many of them could have come up with a better response.

    These are the people who want to rule the world. Just imaging what it would be like to live is such a place. Nothing normal.

    As long as I do not have to observe their immoral behavior they can "kiss" 'til their lips fall off! Let them sit together in a booth and fondle each other until their hearts are content. Why is it that people of this persuasion have the need to be "in your face" with their cause? Why don't they just go off and form their own community somewhere? I guarantee I would never go there or condone their behavior in any fashion. It is their free will to sin and go to hell or to follow the Words of the Savior.

    This man and his company have a right to run his company as he pleases. If one doesn't agree with his policy simply ignore the company. BUT wait there obviously was thousands around America that agree and supported him. This has created a strenght in the Christian faith that was needed thank you Homosexuals and Lesbians for proving a point for us.

    We seem to becoming an upside-down America. What is and has always been right, is now wrong and what is wrong is politically right. This must change this. The loud, radical, liberals and this Administration are supporting everything wrong and downgrading for America. But they are the real minority, we outnumber and surround them.
    In 2012, don't believe
    the media. If one votes for a Democrat (or Rino) at any level of Government -
    Federal, State or Local, that person may be an idiot.

    Vote for the most Constitutional, Conservative,
    Christian and Candidate with the most American Values in all elections

    Well it is up to them to exact their revenge. I think it just turns more people to the right. I don't like to see the gay parades which are more vulgar then any kiss in. God Bless one and all!
