One would think, from this article that the vast majority of Americans are "the mainstream" when it comes to acceptance of homosexuality and same sex marriage. My contention, fleshed out below is that the vast majority of the "mainstream" of America, is NOT pro homosexual agenda. A very small 2-4% group have changed the way this country thinks and I am sick and tired of it.
The owner of a PRIVATELY owned company has merely stated his own opinion. He's not blocking anyone from eating in his stores, he's not making "special prices" for anyone (Bob and Betty pay $4.99 for the chicken special, Bob and Bob pay $8.99), he's just letting the world know what he personally believes and what his company that HE OWNS believes, which I'm pretty sure, correct me if I'm wrong, is allowed somewhere in America, it was once called "free speech".
No, not in 2012 America where a VERY SMALL minority of people have made the rest of America, the majority of Americans, think that they are wrong in their thinking.
From the story above: Boston Mayor Thomas Menino is not a Chik-fil-A fan.. In an interview with the Boston Herald,
Menino vowed to block the chain from opening up shop in his city,
promising to make it extremely difficult for the company to procure the
required licenses.
“Chick-fil-A doesn’t belong in Boston,” Menino told the publication.
“You can’t have a business in the city of Boston that discriminates
against a population. We’re an open city, we’re a city that’s at the
forefront of inclusion.”
So where exactly is Chik-fil-A "discriminating"? Who's being discriminated against? Mayor Menino is a hate filled bigot who does not own Boston nor does he have any say in what business can open in Boston. Jobs? "Don't need them in Boston, we have plenty". New business that brings in millions in tax revenue? "Naw, don't need it, we like the way things are." Stupid person, bad mayor. He is against free speech.
The issue is more than whether Chick-Fil-A should be commended or
condemned for their statements. It's also about our freedom of speech
and of association in this country. I am always amazed at how those who
call for "love" and open mindedness so quickly spew venomous hatred
toward those with whom they disagree. In contrast, a person following
Biblical Christianity may express God's hatred of a lifestyle and it
should always be done in a loving manner - always. This shows a
fundamental difference in the character of the
two ideologies. Chick-Fil-A has not done or said ANYTHING that has hurt
or discriminated against anyone. Their support of a particular movement
is their choice. In-your-face type protests such as the "Kiss-in" do
nothing constructive to forward the movement of it's supporters. It only
heightens the tension and raises conflict (which, I suppose, is the
goal).
This article from The Atlantic (and in case you don't like them it's also on The Huffington Post) shows that the media suck ups and television production companies have convinced Americans that there are more "gays and lesbians" then there really are!
Guess what? If you are a pro traditional marriage thinking American, YOU are the mainstream. YOU are the majority. You are NOT the minority. You are the victim of a plot to change everything about how you think. It's working. Look at Chik-fil-A.

Pro-Life, Free Speech and Violence: Can't we all just get along?
WARNING: THIS VIDEO DOES FEATURE VERY GRAPHIC LANGUAGE BUT IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO WATCH!!
I always thought liberals were all about "free speech"? Of course they are! When it suits them.
Here we have a group of Pro-Life folks standing outside of a Fresno, California abortion clinic and they have the audacity of praying for the people inside and those coming from the outside. They set up a camera to film the 40 days they are doing this vigil. No signs, no dead baby pics, just prayer. Well, here is what the "progressive" left does when those they don't agree with, don't play their game.
Sickening ain't it?
