and garnished with a tangy false equivalence.
What are your feelings on female circumcision? How about genocide in the name of religion? Are those respectable religious positions? If they're not, what makes hating LGBT people more acceptable to you? To head off any argument about how those are openly causing real world harm, so do ideas like the CEO of CFA is pushing. Violence against LGBT people happens regularly, and that's even with most LGBT people afraid to come out of the closet or openly acknowledge who they are. And that's just here, of course. In other countries the CFA CEO and his ilk are supporting groups that pass laws to make homosexuality punishable by death. Their ideas you demand we tolerate are actually killing gay people.
Chick-Fil-A also discriminates against LGBT people in their hiring practices, that isn't accurate either.
Right wingers hate Muslims and immigrants because they're brown not because they want to purge an oppressed group, so no, there's no equivalence there.
Well, there is an equivalence, but you've got it backward. It has to do with who wants to purge an oppressed group. Christians aren't an oppressed group, neither are right wingers. The way you can tell is how often the government is willing to oppress other people to make them happy.
As for us having "Tolerated President Obama", I dunno what to tell you, other than you're flat out wrong. I distinctly remember not tolerating that at all, to the point I told a women that called on his behalf that "I don't donate to or vote for bigots.". I suspect that happened a lot, because he abandoned that position. Good thing too, because it was a terrible position. It's part of that "Holding his feet to the fire" thing he suggested when he was running. (The people that defended that position are still terrible people, as far as I'm concerned.)
FWIW, I think Chik-Fil-A should be allowed to open a chain in every state in the country, then be fined and sued into oblivion when they discriminate. It was the false equivalences and falsehoods in your post I objected to.
