That sounds bigoted to me, them supporting the special treatment of LGBT.

What a crock of shit. "Ahh, these damn Jews are protesting about a million-dollar donation to a Nazi organisation! When will they learn that they don't deserve any special treatment? Those bigoted fuckers."

Sometimes, yes. See lunch counter sit-ins.

I completely support the protest and how it was performed. My only complaint is that they were saying "shit" over the megaphone thing when there could have been kids in the store. Even then I don't really care and I think it is worth it to inform people of who their corporations are endorsing.

What did they do illegal?


Harassing customers, causing a public disturbance, soliciting on private property (against the will of the company), and video taping someone without consent all sound like a good place to start.
Gun control is like trying to solve drunk driving by making it harder for sober people to own cars.

Any accident you can walk away from is one I can laugh at.

Capitalism is always the answer. Whenever there's a problem in capitalism, you just need some more capitalism. If the solution isn't capitalism, then it's not really a problem. If your capitalism gets damaged, you just need to throw some capitalism on it and get on with your life.

I didn't see the customer being harrassed, no more harassed than I am whenever I'm asked if I want to try a free sample or be given a flier or coupon. The rest, yea I can see that being illegal.

Yes, I would. I may disagree with what someone says, but I defend to their right to say it. That's the difference between you and me. I don't consider rights context sensitive.

Except the parking lot is private property as well, and they were asked to leave it. Failure to do so would be grounds for trespassing charges.

Yeah, I can't say I agree with everything they do, specifically their opposition to the Afghan war (which i support) or their dislike for Petraeus (whom I hold great admiration for), but meh, what organization/party do you agree with 100%

If people were talking against homosexuals, you would most likely agree they should be arrested. Free speech comes with the tolerance of others.
When anybody preaches disunity, tries to pit one of us against each other through class warfare, race hatred, or religious intolerance, you know that person seeks to rob us of our freedom and destroy our very lives.

I notice that the OP has said that gays are trying to "promote their culture." I would like to know what exactly that statement means.

Sometimes you must be willing to give up things for your beliefs and in doing the right thing.

The WBC is a conservative Christian organization that regularly goes about protesting against homosexuals. What's the problem? I don't like them but they do have the right to do that.

OP, you are not going to be able to win. The people in here are so liberal that they are conservative. They come in droves, and you will be overwhelmed. ;)
