Good for chick-fil-a. Since businesses seem to care so much about political issues, it's good to see that some people still stand against liberal media oppressions despite the consequences that will arise. You have to be honest, if your stance is not pro-gay marriage or some form of indifference, the media will slaughter you and try to make you out to be a nazi or commie.

No offense but it  infuriates me to see somebody mindlessly drone on about this non-existant liberal media bias.

Also, Chick-Fil-a isn't simply defending "traditional" marriage. They fund groups that are flat out bigoted against homosexuality. This should not acceptable to any rational human being.

Given the fact that is about 80% of Christians that still believe in the Biblical definition of marriage, I don't understand your point.

Just because someone takes a certain point of view on an issue doesn't mean that their goal is to prevent the other from living out that way of life. I am a Christian and 100% against homosexuality as a lifestyle. But if I had to vote, I would approve gay marriage in a heartbeat, because it doesn't effect me.

Many of the organizations that are being discussed do that. Groups like Focus on the Family are against homosexuality and about 1,000 other things. That doesn't mean that they want to kill gays, or bar all of them from recieving equal treatment under the law.

Again, preventing the government from recognizing same-sex marriage in turn effects the insurance policies, adoption rights and other benefits that same-sex couples are eligible to receive.

This isn't equality, what about the rights of Athiest and Jewish same-sex couples to marriage? Why is one group, which never defined marriage to begin with, allowed to dictate what is and is not "traditional" marriage?
