Either you stand with the Westboro Baptist Church kook funeral protesters and their ilk, or you don't. I'm sure some of you kooks approve of their methods and ideals.
The CEO of Chick-fil-a did not say "God hates fags." He said in an interview in a Baptist magazine that he believed marriage was between a man and a woman. That's it.
There is a huge difference between the two, but this has somehow morphed into some kind of hate speech. He didn't condemn anyone, resort to name calling, or project any hate. HE. STATED. HIS. BELIEFS.
On that note, Westboro Baptist Church is not even a church. They are a hate group still using the name of a church and suing any time their Freedom of Speech is threatened. No churches stand with them, and most churches ignore them outright, not even dignifying them.
Do not lump the two together. Being opposed to same-sex marriage is not the same thing as hating homosexuals. And does ANYONE here side with Westboro? At all?
