Banning of gay marriage is only NOM's first step. After being politcally successful at this, the second step is to eliminate no-fault divorce. Perhaps if this was brought to the attention of the straight community, they might have second thoughts on supporting the agenda of Maggie Gallagher and her organization, NOM.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-2470623326305186622009-08-11T01:33:49.205-04:002009-08-11T01:33:49.205-04:00What a bunch of whiners.

Get your facts right before writing anything down. As a gay man, I feel this is a HUGE step back as the world is trying to move forward in having the world understand that being gay is NOT a disease, not a disorder, it is NOT a choice, you didn't "choose" to be straight, and I didn't choose to be gay. I have a Tim Horton's coffee now and I feel so disgusted that this would be an "event". Why can't we all just freakin get along already? Why do there have to be gay haters? If it doesn't affect you, why freakin bother????? People need to understand that there are different people in the world and they need to be accepted for who they are. I accept straight people, open up your minds peopleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-9453802414561886732009-08-10T12:26:51.417-04:002009-08-10T12:26:51.417-04:00Tim Horton used to be a Canadian hockey player but...Tim Horton used to be a Canadian hockey player but he died in 1974. he played for my home town team too in Buffalo, NY. some people need to get their facts straight. lolCarl W.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-76761949840869376342009-08-10T11:48:18.726-04:002009-08-10T11:48:18.726-04:00We're trying to figure out the best way to han...We're trying to figure out the best way to handle the NOM thing in Warwick (Suburban Providence indeed). <br /><br />I suggest we setup on pubic property with out banner and a camera.

Anyone else called? And is there any other info we can read? I have to say I am surprised and skeptical that any company would be so stupid. Tim Horton's used to be such a nifty little alternative to the big coffee sellers, that's how they got so popular. This is beyond sucky if it's true. Boycotts all around, I'll get the word out if neccessary (ie postering around as many locations as I can). It's a mistake to tick me off about this kind of stuff, I'm not afraid to take action.
