And when I married my DW knowing we would never have children, obviously that was a sham and no one should have allowed us to marry as it didn't fit "the unique nature of marriage" So either my marriage is an oxymoron, or you owe me an apology for the insult.
And if my business or the profit I made from my business provided millions of dollars to fight against allowing Black people to marry or to adopt children might you not conclude that I am a racist? Now just alter that sentence remove Black, insert gay, remove racist, insert anti-gay. And if my business or the profit I made from my business provided millions of dollars to fight against allowing gay people to marry or to adopt children might you not conclude that I am anti-gay? Yes

Cathy did absolutely NOT insult anyone. The man has a RIGHT TO his opinion. it's called FREEDOM OF SPEECH.!!! That is why so many people showed up. They are sick and tired of the left saying anything they want and when the right does, they try to shut them down. as proof this is right, sales went through the roof last week!! and if McDonalds did give out free certificates to the gays, it wasn't out of kindness but stupidity I agree. Sure way to ruin your business -- open mouth - insert foot. Cathy didn't give out free sandwiches to those who believe in traditional marriage. He'd be out of business if he did!!
So few gays in comparison to those who believe in Traditional marriage. Sorry but if a nerve was hit, maybe there is a gay relative in famiily?? Have nothing against them, just have NO reason to WANT to hear or see what they choose to do behind closed doors. See no reason to brag about it. It's not the norm, never was, never will be. We have enough problems in this country trying to keep traditional families together no less worrying about Johnny kissing Johnny. Maybe that should be the next olympic sport?? Wow - I wonder how many people would tune in .
