My bad, I had not read the latest news about them, where they are supporting marriage groups which oppose gay marriage. So my opinions of them have evolved from thinking they were wrong, to self serving to dishonest.

I would. Kind of a stupid question though, since there ain't no such animal.

I would, because a business should not spend the money I give it to oppose my lifestyle.

What straight rights do you feel are being infringed upon?

I am completely for straight rights. But no one is trying to take them away. How is giving someone else a right detrimental to my right.

Straights aren't constantly shamed for being straight. What you propose would be equivalent to a KKK rally, and sane people know it.
As others have asked, what rights are being denied heterosexuals on the basis of their orientation?

Gay marriage does not violate free speech or religious tolerence, or do you mean religious intolerance?

Wrong again. You can spew all the bile you want, you just have to deal with being a pariah when people think you're disgusting. That's social contract, not legal enforcement.
Religious tolerance doesn't let larger, more powerful sects bully smaller ones, like denying UUs the right to marry their gay members.
Furthermore, religious tolerance is not the province of legal rights. Neutrality is the government's proper role. Tolerance is up to individuals.

No one is opposing straight marriage.
The right for straight people is not in question nor is anyone opposing it, the rights of gays and gay marriage is what is being oppressed.
I almost puked in my mouth I think. The right of free speech is not being oppressed here, the fact that people can boycott is also protected as a right.
Religious tolerence? This isn't about tolerating the founders religion, this is about that dispicable Christian, the founder of Chic Fil A, lobbying against a civil right. He is a bigot, a hypocrite, and for a lack of a better word, evil.
He even goes against what Jesus taught:
Would Jesus Discriminate? - Jesus affirmed a gay couple

How? By pretending to capitulate, then trying to sneak it in? If that's what the "family values" crowd is promoting, I'll pass, thanks.

No they are not! Straight "traditional" marriage is not under threat by homosexual marriage. They are oppressing homosexuals by lobbying against their CIVIL AND SECULAR RIGHTS. Why should the beliefs of some Christians affect the laws of a secular government? There is a reason our founding fathers wanted the Church and government to remain separate.
Is discrimination a "traditional family value"? I think it's hate. Didn't Jesus warn about wolves in sheep's clothing? I'm not a Christian but I think the idea is universal enough to apply here.
Oh, you provocateur, you!
I favor gay marriage cuz I don't think they should get off Scot free.
They've had an unfair advantage too long. Make'm adopt kids too!
Btw, that sure is a bright & shiney avatar you have there, fella!

Not until you mandate conception and outlaw the marriage of the sterile.
