I would support Hillary and Bill for reasons other than their opinion on LGBT rights. I'm not a one-issue voter like many here. I would not--UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES--vote for a Republican. (Like I already said, "Bat-sh*t-crazy" is not a platform.) If I disagreed with them on LGBT rights, I'd still vote for them because I agree with them on so many other things. I'd be disappointed, and just like the Republicans, I would vote for the lesser of the two evils. That is not "a double standard." That's called "pragmatism."

It's also called giving him a pass without protest. When you protest so strongly against someone else with that same opinion, it also makes you a hypocrite.
The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.
Last month the CEO of Chick Fil A dared to say that he was personally against gay marriage. He also said everyone, regardless of race or gender preference would always be treated with courtesy and kindness in his business. That Wasn't good enough for gays and leftist Liberals. Last week they told him he has no right to express a personal opinion. Liberal mayors threatened to withhold business licenses to anyone who dared to open a Chick Fil A restaurant in their cities. Yesterday America dined out to tell liberal oppressors that freedom of expression is alive and well.
Tell me Raees, do other ceo's have stances on gay marriage or are they all indifferent? Just because one guy makes his stance public, that doesn't mean every other CEO believes the opposite. I'm sure there are ceo's of companies you buy from who have this same view, but you don't know it yet. Better start doing some investigative reporting on the 99.99% you know nothing about, or you may be sadly disappointed one day.

Chick-fil-A president reiterates company’s stance against gay marriage
“Guilty as charged” is how Chick-fil-A President Dan Cathy answered questions about his restaurant chain’s support of traditional marriage earlier this week.
That’s according to an interview published Monday in the Baptist Press, in which Cathy says his Atlanta-based company is “very much supporting of the family — the biblical definition of the family unit.”
Cathy also said on Ken Coleman’s radio show in June that people advocating for same-sex marriage are “inviting God’s judgment on our nation.”
“As it relates to society in general I think we’re inviting God’s judgment on our nation when we shake out fist at him and say, ‘We know better than you as to what constitutes a marriage,’” Cathy said. “And I pray God’s mercy on our generation that has such a prideful, arrogant attitude to think that we have the audacity to try to redefine what marriage is about.”
"We intend to stay the course," he said. "We know that it might not be popular with everyone, but thank the Lord, we live in a country where we can share our values and operate on biblical principles."
Aug. 1 may have been a banner day for Chick-fil-A, but after two weeks of protests and high-profile saber rattling from pro-gay mayors and celebrities, "the damage had been done," says Steve Cody at Inc. And, in the larger scheme of things, says Michelangelo Signorile at The Huffington Post, gay-rights activists are winning the battle over corporate support, with global giants like Amazon, Microsoft, Google, and Kraft "pushing for LGBT rights across the entire planet." If a "pipsqueak" like Chick-fil-A, "whose outlets are predominantly centered in red state America" is "the most high profile company the anti-gays have pushing their agenda, I can see where things are headed."
Despite the record sales and free publicity, "Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day isn't getting much love from Chick-fil-A" itself, says Elizabeth Flock at U.S. News. From the company's silent Twitter feed to its public disavowal of any involvement in Huckabee's protest, Chick-fil-A seems to understand that long after this controversy dies down, many potential customers will still have a bad taste in their mouths. There's a lesson for every business leader in Cathy's shoes, says Michael Hiltzik in the Los Angeles Times: "It's best to let your products speak for themselves and keep your big mouth shut."
