I was there last Friday at the capitol to stand with the teachers and my friends. My own union might be on strike on Saturday.

There are lots of talented people who may fork this, and I doubt there are gobs of people waiting to shovel out money for a formerly free (as in beer) emulator.

Good thing you can fork any GPL/MIT/BSD code that's been widely distributed due to the awesome licenses.

This was a ploy by 4chan to trick people and the media to identify an innocuous symbol as a hate symbol.

A lot of people are for free speech until you say something they disagree with. I'm here for different reasons too. I fit more into the green part of the political compass, but I think a lot of people here are in the red quadrant.

Well, people are always going on about how punching Nazis is just fine. I know it's not popular here, but IMHO, the police should stop anyone initiating physical violence. This as opposed to arresting people for having a brown lawn or going 5 mph over the speed limit.

Mike Huckabee popularized the idea for the appreciation day, and I don't think most of the customers there were even aware or at least didn't care about the anti-LGBT issues I bet they thought the gays showed to piss on their wholesome restaurant and Jeebus. The fact that my state is mostly Republican doesn't help much either. Right-winger are generally authoritarian and fall in lock-step with each other.

As for me personally, I was at what was supposed to be an anti Chick-fil-a, pro LGBT rally, but it had morphed into a Chick-fil-a appreciation day. I think the republicans organized it to counter the left wing protest. Unfortunately there were very few people that were there against Chick-fil-a, and a lot of angry supporters. I was called all kinds of names like faggot and thought a bigot or two was going to try and fight me, but nothing came of it.
One of the people in line at Chick-fil-a said her car was hit by sign, which was a complete fabrication, The police showed up and they told the two young women there not to kiss and not to shout about equal rights. I guess they were okay with all of us getting called faggots.
I didn't eat there until after my backwards state had marriage equality.

I think I'm in the minority, but I'm somewhat of a radical supporter of free speech. I do not believe in instigating violence against someone else who is using free speech against you. I think any physical attack from the right or left just hurts innocent people or push people away from your cause. I'm thinking of philosophy and ethics professor Eric Clanton hitting Sean Stiles with a bike lock without provocation, seemingly at random. I am, however, in full support of self-defense from physical attack.
