One of these groups being attacked right now is Chick-Fil-A. As you can recall probably, on August 1, 2012, an issue arose where Chick-Fil-A was suddenly attacked by groups of people who supposedly are for social justice. Chick-Fil-A has been accused of a 'hate' crime or at least an action of hate, for taking a stand for marriage being made up of one man and one woman.
I've read through the writings of the owner of Chick-Fil-A, Dan Cathy, and in his statement, I find no words of hatred for anyone. He even made it clear that everyone was welcome to visit his restaurant and no one is rejected for their beliefs. Yet, groups like the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) and the ACLU are known for blowing things up and making situations that don't exist out of a few things like principles that people stand for, and turning them around, using them against the people who stand for them.
It really would be a different story if Chick-Fil-A took a stand against homosexuality and especially if they acted like Westboro. Then the Left would have a valid case. But if Chick-Fil-A makes it known that they believe the Bible when it says that marriage is made up of one man and one woman, that is not 'hate speech'. Let's be real about this, and let's be honest.
It looks like to me the ones who are doing the hating are the groups like the SPLC, not Chick-Fil-A. Let's not take a fact and twist it around to make it say something it doesn't really say.
I think the Bible calls this 'slander', and slander is an abomination in God's sight. It's one of those sins that God takes very seriously, and will deal with justly on That Day.
