Yesterday was the Kiss-in protest, a photo op showing gay
pride vs. traditional marriage.
On higher ground, it is a demonstration of the right to
protest vs. the right of an individual to speak out about God and marriage.
But setting aside content, let’s talk about technique
here. On August 1st those
who happen to agree with CEO Cathy that traditional marriage is ordained of God
chose to visit Chick-fil-A and buy a sandwich from the local restaurant. It was a show of strength and resulted in
record sales of chicken sandwiches.
Contrast that to the GBLT people who are planning a kiss-in
at Chick-fil-A today. The plan is
simple. Two (or more, I suppose)
same-sex people will enter the store and give each other a passionate kiss in
front of all the paying customers.
That’ll show ‘em.
NOT!
Why would anyone think this PDA would somehow help their
cause? It seems to me that even
moderates who are warming up to the idea of gay rights will be turned-off by
such displays. After all, same-sex
intimacy is the toughest sell when it comes to accepting gays as normal. Two men living together and enjoying travel
and conversation is fine; grown men playing tummy sticks or having anal sex…not
so much.
Their parades with the bump-and-grind actions, leather
outfits and chains, only serve to reinforce the stereotype of the GBLT
lifestyle. Kiss-in protests are just
more of the same.
Chalk it up as just another difference between Liberals and
Conservatives. Occupy Wall Street is an
entirely different game than a Tea Party rally.
