Having a southern accent is not an inheret and immutable characteristic either, but that doesn't make it okay to discriminate against southerns.
There is no discrimination against homosexuals. Redefining marriage to include homosexual relationships by definition means the complete conceptual destruction of the the institution, and, not to put too fine a point on it, the destruction of heterosexual, monogamous marriage and the family structure predicated upon it means the destruction of civil society.
Denial of equal access to the law is in and of itself a form of discrimination.

Since the values and institutions of Mormonism are not held by the majority of Americans, your statement would give society a pass card for opposing and discriminating against Mormonism since it is an assault on the de facto institutions of society.
Not to beat a dead horse, but weren't these same threats made 40 years ago, except replacing "homo" with "nigger"??
People disgust me. And, no, it's not the "homo" people. Although I'm not sure these bigots would even classify the "homos" as people.
Yes, but being black is an inherent and immutable characteristic, while homosexual behavior is learned and cultivated.
More BS. Could anyone be more driven by political agenda (and in this case bigotry) than this Coggin's fellow?
Whereas a biological or social scientist has to use reasoning, logic, experimentation, statistics, and mathematics to come to scientific conclusions, a right-wingnut like Coggins only need ask himself which result or assumption best fits the pre-established religious/ideological dogma. Then this is asserted as fact-full stop!
It's a blindingly simple algorithm but, as we see here time and time again, it never leads to the truth.
when believers want to give their claims more weight, they dress these claims up in scientific terms. When believers want to belittle atheism or secular humanism, they call it a "religion". -Beastie

I am waiting for a defense that suggests a symbolic gesture, instead of a comprehensive one, is what does the trick.

Presumably, you will be boycotting all of them, right? I just hope the computer you are using to post on this message board doesn't have any Intel products in it. Almost every major banking institution is on board, so you might need to do some serious reorganizing of your finances.
It really doesn't matter. I can't choose the parts of which my computer is composed. I can choose where I eat my lunch. They have lost my business.
Nothing is going to startle us more when we pass through the veil to the other side than to realize how well we know our Father [in Heaven] and how familiar his face is to us

Consistent with its devotion to equality, Marriott is now offering gay porn in-room movies to go with its normal offering of in room porn (including, if one wants it, plenty of girl-on-girl action).

Yes you can. There are now several computer stores that build your computer for you according to your specs. For that matter, why don't the moralists create their own gay-free industries in which one can be sure than no food or product purchased goes to further the (shudder) 'GAY AGENDA.'

Is buying a computer with an AMD chip that difficult?

LOL!!! ROFLMAO!!! Gold. Pure gold.
And, you may very well see this in the future, which you surely computed as a scholar of the field of business.
