Well at least you completed the logical fallacy in the first paragraph.

Today the LGBT community is demanding that same special distinction and the privileges that come with it for a relationship between two men or two women.

Exactly. They're asking to not be discriminated against based on the gender of the person they LOVE.

They aren't speaking for poligamists who would like that same distinction with its privileges or the many nonsexual patnerships we find in society. They are speaking for themselves.

Since when is it the LGBT community's responsibility to speak up on behalf of poligamists (sic)?

I'm not in favour of any of it. I like Chick-Fil-A have a right to view marriage as our society has always viewed it; between a man and a women. Moreover Tim Thomas, Chick-Fil-A, and this Christian lobby group has a right to express those views without being bullied or shot at.

For the thousandth time, nobody has denied Chick-fil-A or Tim Thomas' right to free speech. The only people that seem to be wanting to deny free-speech are those on the religious right (like yourself) who think they shouldn't be subject to criticism. I have a feeling that if an establishment came out with a strict "No Christians" policy, you'd have no problems with religious groups openly criticizing them.
We're just as entitled via free speech to ridicule them, as they are to have their hateful opinions.
