    Gay rights are human rights

    Yes, I agree with you 100%. That’s a moral and ethical judgement though. It’s a moral and ethical judgement I agree with, but it’s still a statement of someone’s individual morals.

    Put it another way – how about if I rephrased it to:

    Christian values are human values and no one who can’t respect Christian values should ever be put in charge of an organization full of humans.

    Or:

    Islamic values are human values and no one who can’t respect Muslim values should ever be put in charger of an organization full of humans.

    Would you still agree with that? There are millions and millions of Muslims who believe every bit as deeply in their way of looking at the world as you believe deeply that gay marriage needs to be enshrined in law. Should they be writing articles about how the CEO of some organization gave $1,000 to an organization with anti-Islamic values and so you shouldn’t use that organization’s web browser?

      There were slave owners who believed they were morally right too, and your argument says they should have been left alone. We’re smart enough to know they were wrong and that your Christians and Muslims are wrong. We should be writing articles and making choices accordingly.
