“No one is questioning Cathy’s right to say what he said. The opposition to his statement is not about “political correctness” either. We have to remember that LGBTs are a marginalized group. Within recent history they have been sent to mental institutions, jailed, harassed by cops, denied employment (and can still be in some places), and were generally considered outsiders in society. Because they were outsiders, and were generally isolated from each other, they could not speak up for themselves when people spoke against them. With the formation of the modern gay rights movement, LGBTs make it a point to confront and challenge such statements, no matter how small, and make it clear that it is not acceptable to them. I don’t think anyone should be upset that things aren’t how they used to be and Chick-Fil-A will have to deal with the bad press for a little while (ultimately, for good or bad, it will blow over).”
Yes they are. They are ‘crucifying’ him for it. If it’s not ‘political correctness’ then why are the mayor’s of Chicago and Boston supporting this group. They are marginalized because they are a minority that has what the majority considers to be deviant behavior. Parents are creeped out by them because they know that pedophiles are primarily homosexual men. Typically, intuitively, we try to minimize risk for ourselves and our loved ones. Consequently we are uncomfortable with them and try to avoid them. And they have become militant and extreme which feeds the legitimate concerns of the majority. How many children were born of effeminate men and masculine women throughout history. HHow many children are not being born now because their potential parents are choosing the same sex? It is a sad social situation.
