Gay marriage salt thread

Went to Chick Fil A today, and it was FULL. I brought my iPad to type on and sat in the only free spot, a booth. Now, I wasn't the only queer person there, but I wasn't wearing pride colors (I'm not fully out, so only for special occasions). A 20something girl asks if she can sit at my booth, and I tell her I don't mind at all. Then, 2 guys walk out of the bathroom, holding hands.

She looks at me and says "ugh, I can't get away from it; I thought this was a safe heaven from... That".

I asked her what she meant, and she clarified the gay people. "It's like, that corner is like a full-on gay booth, we shouldn't have to stand for it."

It was then when I noticed there was a bible on the seat next to me. You see, on Wednesdays a lot of people from a bible group come to that CFA since it is near the local churches. I think it was left behind and assumed it was mine. As she went on, while being involved in her convo a bit, she finally gave me the opening I wanted and asked "what do you think?".

I looked at her and said "best start believing in queer booths... You're in one!" And then I put on a shit-eating grin.

She just left. Left her food and left the restaurant; she didn't touch it either, so when I was positive she was gone gone, I asked for a bag and put the cool wrap and fries in it, and gave it to the hungry hobo outside.

At least a hobo got fed because of it.

This was her inside.

Absolutely amazing.

Wearing rainbow everything with my boyfriend next time we go there.
 
Thats some double speak kind of shit. War is peace, slavery is freedom, republican is liberal.

You only think that because what Liberal means to American's is quite divorced from what Liberal means historically, or to most of the rest of the world.

Republicans are extremely Liberal, from a certain point of view.

I always thought Chik Fil A food was salty as hell. Now I see why. They are what they eat.
 
My dad says that gays marrying means people will also be able to marry animals soon

I counter with the fact that animals can't give consent.

He replies that animal right crazies will just swear they know their pets or train them to say yes.

and that's why gays should not marry.

...I can't

The worst part is telling to myself "you were just like this a few years ago"
Ask him if we should revoke interracial marriage, straight marriage, divorce...

Ask him to google slippery slope fallacy. But he might think that sounds gay.

(maybe reconsider your use of "hobo", though.)
 
Facebook feed just blew up with people shitting their pants over this image. Apparently it's 10 years old and resulted in the maker getting death threats over it's resurgence in popularity.

Ah I love it haha, giving the food to someone in need too....I think I <3 you.
 
I'm assuming it's some misguided notion of population growth versus decline.
That's great logic. "Allowing gays to marry will lead to a decline in population, because somehow everyone won't keep doing whatever it is that they've been doing up to now".

Not that hypothesized effects on population size should have any bearing on who gets to have basic human rights.

Well if the gays would just get straight married, they'd totally give up their sinful ways and increase the population!

/s
 
I'm assuming it's some misguided notion of population growth versus decline.

And the notion that gay marriage would lead to an explosion in the gay population, leading to low population growth and then extinction or something. That's not how it works people! If they care so much about procreation and having children, they should campaign against economic growth and wealth. Since those factors often lead to a country's population having less children.

Also, I'm pretty late to the game but if someone can rainbowfy my avatar I'll be grateful :P

I thought the same thing when I read someone on Twitter saying "they'll all die from AIDS now".

Besides the twisted ignorance of thinking only gays have AIDS, it means he thinks either:
1) Most gays have waited until they could get married to have sex.
2) Marriage leads to more sexual partners.

I'm done even talking to these kind of people. They are to the point of insanity.

It's just warped logic doing its work.

I remember a class that I took in school where we had write an argument for or against co-ed dorms and rooms in the university. The teacher had to point out how many students end up making logic leaping statements, like "co-ed dorms lead to abortions!" while skipping the explanation of how they arrive to that conclusion. It's a common mistake for many people to not think about what they say and they haven't actually thought through the logic of their statements and beliefs.

All of this bc I refuse to retweet someone or acknowledge them on Twitter. I refuse to be blackmailed and painted in a negative way.



Umm yeah about that....

In less than three years... Obama will be found by authorities hiding down a spider-hole in Iraq wearing a long beard and a hoodie #tcot

In some respects the Gay Mafia and ISIS have a lot in common, they both hate decent people of Christian Faith.

If the little socialists had any gutz, they'd burn the ISIS Flag in front of the nearest mosque.

This rainbow victory... is a victory for all of those that need to feel good about, accomplishing nothing.

Da fuck

It's funny, because I see this sentiment a lot, when it comes to right-wing pundits. What these mental invalids don't realize, is that no one in those mosques would have an issue with what you were doing, other than just being a typical garden variety disruptive asshole.
 
A friend of mine just posted this on Facebook. I'm Gay and she knows it.

I'm confused, I have all these friends on Facebook who are Christians, tinting at their profile pictures with the rainbow to celebrate same-sex marriage&#8230; Sure, we're called to love people no matter what the sin in their lives may be. However, we are never called to celebrate the sin. You all might compromise on this, but I won't. I have friends who are gay, friends who are drunks and do drugs, friends who lie and cheat... All sins... And I love them, but I will not celebrate with them in their sin. If you do, you're just blinding yourself to the truth of the Word of God, and using the word "love" as a escape goat. Don't be misled. You can love your gay friends without feeding into there sin #GodWins

I'm especially offended by the bolded.

Please be real.

Thank you for posting this.
 
Tell her that God did win. (He is all-powerful after all!) And that there is nothing in the Bible that truly indicates it is against God's will that a small percentage of the population can have their love dignified in the eyes of the law. It hurts absolutely nobody. Gay marriage turns nobody gay (not that there's anything wrong with it.) Tell her to educate herself on the facts behind the Bible, its historical context, and mistranslations over time.

One day, she'll come round.
 
I probably shouldn't respond, but I feel something needs to be said. Advice?

Unless you're looking to sever ties with her, I wouldn't. Looked at her page, and on the surface she seems to be joined at the hip with her religion, by extension I'm sure any insult hurled at her religion will be taken as a blow against her personally.
 
First semester she said to me, that she would never be "mean" to me, she just doesn't agree with my "lifestyle". I stupidly gave her the benefit of the doubt.

Ah, Lol. Either way, advice still applies if she's willing to share something like that.

Tell her that married couples have less sex so more gay marriage will lead to less gay sex.

She's basically friends with you because she feels like she has to be to be a good christian, while internally despising the way you live your life. Right now she and her people feel they are on the defensive so their feelings are coming out. I'm sure she will eventually go back to being a silent bigot towards you if that is what you really want.

Tell her she has bought hook line and sinker into evangelical Christian talking points, and that being gay or getting married isn't a lifestyle. It is not something you ever chose, it is a natural occurrence in a small percentage of living things. (She's more than welcome to investigate the enormity of scientific data on the subject -- unless she wishes to accuse it of the devil's deception at work.) And that marriage is a great thing that might help encourage monogamy and healthy sexual practices just like marriage is supposed to.
 
Does anyone keep shitty people on their social media as friends, only to see what stupid shit they'll post for some masochistic sort of entertainment, like me? I think it may be a problem. Lol.

Ha my cousin posts something anti-gay marriage every day. Usually those images that other people here have shared. I could just stop getting notifications from him but I actually enjoy seeing what crazy thing he'll say next.

Sadly, mine isn't filled with religious zealots, but instead right-wing political ones. I see a constant barrage about how Obama is coming to put all conservatives into death camps, and how he's literally worse than Hitler. Entertaining in it's own right, but not quite as satisfying as religious zealotry.
