Irony in a Chicken Sandwich
It has been three days now, and I still cannot open any of my favorite news aggregators and not read about the Great Chick Fil A Eat for Traditional Marriage rallies across the country. I told myself I would not buy into it, but alas... a thought came to me that I wanted to express.
The rallies did not come about because Mr. Cathy stated that this generation is shaking its fist at the lord and inviting his wrath for changing the definition of marriage. Nor was the genesis the gay activist's backlash against his statements. No, the rallies were the result of a couple of liberal, big city mayors trying to pander to gay people by saying (with absolutely no legal backing) that Chick Fil A was not welcome in 'their' cities.
That was what pissed the Christians off. It was then that Mike Huckabee, Rick Santorum, and all the other holy rollers decided to act. Since then, the language of persecution has been as thick as that delicious, atrociously unhealthy Chick Fil A honey BBQ sauce. How dare someone try to exclude them, their lifestyle, and their beliefs!
I just want to say to these people, and this is obviously rhetorical, what the flying hell do you think gay people have been fighting for, and what have you been voting against consistently year after year.....? Inclusion.
I get that the Christians don’t like the gays. That’s fine. It’s the victimhood that is so nauseating. They say the most heinous things about people with an unchosen preference, but are themselves incredibly sensitive toward the idea that anyone might not like them because of their chosen beliefs. Welcome to the world you've created for gay people for centuries.
How someone can go to the polls and vote to exclude people from enjoying a privilege that they enjoy and then bitch about the mere idea, however implausible, of Christians being excluded from something is beyond me.
I feel better.
