By the way: ONE MILLION MOMS - - is the name of the group.
From what I've read - - they are not even a large group. Don't let the name fool you.

Exactly, a million mom's in our world, don't matter for nothing. The problem being they scream loud, and try and make themselves larger than they are. I have been a very mellow agnostic for many years, the religious right is forcing me to become a very vocal hardcore atheist. If their god is all they have to offer, I would rather go to hell.

The term "hate group" strikes me as being just as subjective as the concept of one being 'wrong'. In both cases, the term indicates a personal belief that is therefore by definition only applicable to the individual.

I'm telling ya - - - these people make it harder and harder to not hate all Christians.
I will NOT blanket Christians - - because I know there are many many who fight for the rights of gays. But these extreme Right Wing Fundamentalists really give true Christians a bad name.
There's a big difference between free speech and hate speech. Targeting someone with hate letters and calling for them to be fired is not my version of "freedom of speech".

The problem with equality is that both sides of a disagreement are allowed to voice their views. While I don't really care if Ms. Degeneres is the spokesperson or not, I do find it ironic that after so many protests for "gay rights" and "gay marriage", this protest is denigrated by those who have used protests to advance their agendas.
If someone disagrees with this demonstration, feel free to counter it by patronizing JC Penney.
I make no allegations as to who is 'right' or who is 'wrong' in this... as mentioned, I don't really care as I rarely even drive by JC Penneys. I only point out the inconsistency. If one group gets to freely protest, the other group gets to freely protest as well.

P.S.: I realize I am about to be flamed for this statement, but I would rather be burnt to a crisp by the flames of anger while standing for equality than remain safe, quietly hiding in silence, while I watch inequality being touted by those who cry for equality.
Personal belief - - - has no qualifier in Equal Rights.
Everyone is entitled to an opinion, but being entitled to one doesn't immunize it from the scrutiny of others. They of course have every right to voice an opinion, but we're just saying what a completely stupid protest it is to have.
Besides which, even if they paid Ellen Degeneres dividend on stock, I don't think people would care as long as the place remains affordable.
