on a related note, in the broader scheme of "topical issues of the day", why is it w/ so many people that, to a given person if you have ...

a set of beliefs, and someone else has an opposing view, the other person is *automatically* labelled as being hateful and what not?
This issue has been at debate between me and a couple of gay people that I know ... 1 in particular is very adamant about his beliefs. I can respect his having a set of beliefs that he sticks to, but what I cannot for the life of me understand is why he's so quick to say that people like the Chik-fil-A folks are full of hate because they have a set of prinicples and beliefs that they stand up for.
I'm sorry, folks, but I just don't believe that *disagreement* automatically = hate speech
Unless, of course, at least in this instance, the Chik-fil-A folks have openly come out and said something like "We hate homosexuals" ... as far as my understanding goes, they're just saying that they stand up for the belief that homosexuality is wrong.
