Billionaire Chistianist homophobe Dan Cathy is the victim? Bullshit!

Same-sex civil marriage is against the law in over 40 states in this country. The federal government doesn’t recognize the same-sex marriages in the states that do allow it. There are no laws in place to protect LGBT people against discrimination in employment and housing in much of the country. Stats show that LGBT people are targeted for hate crimes more often than any other minority group. LGBT youth are 4 times more likely to commit suicide than their straight counterparts. 40% of this country’s homeless youth are LGBT. Nearly every LGBT person can tell you stories about being rejected by family and friends, they can tell you about being discriminated against, being bullied, intimidated, being judged and condemned in the harshest ways imaginable. There are a huge number of organizations that work tirelessly to spread fear of and misinformation about LGBT people, some of which are financially supported by Chick-fil-A. These organizations also work to deny the civil rights of LGBT people both here in this country and around the world. Some want homosexuality to be a crime. But thousands and thousands of Christians marched off to Chick-fil-A yesterday to proclaim that LGBT people are the bullies, and they and billionaire homophobic Christianist Dan Cathy are the victims.
