29. As a gay man I am conflicted

Fri Aug 3, 2012, 10:13 PM

although it may or may not work in our favor, it is the right thing to do. We wouldn't allow a business to do this to latinos, african americans, muslims, atheists, Jews, asians or the tons of other groups who make up our party. Why another standard for LGBT? That's not right. Geez it makes it sound like we are second class in our own party.

I thought this kiss in thing was dumb though. We should have donated food to a pantry or found some other way to protest them. How did this whole kiss in thing even work out? Are Chik-Fil-A's even near areas where lots of gays live?
