19. The people that say we are being just as bigoted against the religious...

Jul 2012

are somewhat amusing. They argue that we are intolerant. But, what if it wasn't gay people they were targeting with their money. Would we be bigoted if we didn't want to support them if they sent money to the KKK? Or, is that when we should speak out maybe it would be ok then. Or what if they sent money to an organizations that either said Palestine or Israel or both should be wiped of the map? Should we be ok with them promoting that? Because there are religious people that have these views, so really I can't say that some religious views should't be supported or I am a bigot, really?

I don't really care that they are saying this because in the end it is my choice where I am going to eat. I won't eat at a place that could be defined as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.
