Why are people so up in arms about this anyway? As it's been stated, they clearly wore this shirt to flaunt their sexuality. As the place in question is a private business, they have the right to turn them away, like it or not. What differentiates this shirt from one that's the same manner but about heterosexuality is that homosexuality is still highly controversial in America, and they wore a shirt like this to a public, family-oriented environment, knowing it would be offensive to some. If you can't see a problem with this, then you have no right to tell others to avoid doing anything that might offend a homosexual. It works both ways, and just because they're in the minority doesn't mean they should be put on a pedestal.
Wow... I was the one reading way into something, huh? I read the whole new report, nowhere did it say that they intended to offend anyone, and neither was there any evidence of anyone getting offended other than this one employee and this establishment's "policy" or whatever.
Also, they weren't "flaunting their sexuality". No, they just wanted to send the message that marriage should be an equal right to everyone, regardless of preferences.

This post sickens me. I hate people how let one incident affect their opinion of an entire group, but even more I hate people who can't break away from their parents' prejudices and create their own or expel them altogether and then afterwards actually have the gull to smile about it.
