Fine. I'm the Bad Guy. I'm entirely OK with that.

Ok, so a now ex-friend posted on FB that he thought Chik-Fil-A was so great and he was going to now donate money to fight gay marriage.

I need to be clear here - I couldn't give a flying f**k about Chik-Fil-A.  They can go fry themselves in their own vats for all I care.

I cared very much that someone who I had thought was a friend could so callously relegate me to some sub-class of people who apparently cannot feel love and attachment so their relationships don't matter.

Pissed off does not adequately describe my reaction to this.

I removed him from my friends both on FB and my real life.

Then I posted on FB that if you don't support gay marriage, take me off your FB friends list.  I genuinely did not think this was going to be a big issue.  Everybody on my FB list knows I identify as gay.  Most of them know that my sister is in a non-legal marriage with another woman and they've been together for over a decade.  Some of them are friends with her as well.

So it came as a real shock when my brother said he was against it.  And his daughter.  And another of my nieces.  And a nephew....

They kept popping out of the woodwork.  I tried a couple of times to reason with them.

Then things came to a head and I've removed them from my FB and my life.

I genuinely do not understand how they think this is some political or ideological issue.  This is my life.  They are saying my love is second-class and my relationships are worthless.

Ok then.  They no longer deserve my love and I'll build my relationships elsewhere.

Supposedly, I'm the bad guy here - you're never supposed to cut-off family.  You're supposed to give them unconditional love.  Bullshit.  They don't love me.  I'm just calling them on it.  They are bigots and I'm saying so to their faces.

Every time they use their good friend Jesus to support hate and discrimination, they might as well take out their bibles, open them to their favorite passage, and piss on it.
