Oh wait, sorry I ready the article. These are muslims. Ignore the call to mobilize. No need to protest. Move along, nothing to see here.

Looks like there will be some job openings in Cleveland for taxi drivers

Not to mention that it appears to have only been a couple or so drivers who, it appears, are simply going to be replaced..

"Hopkins released a statement saying that two of the three taxi companies operating at the airport -- Ace and Yellow Taxi – were informed by several of their drivers they will no longer participate in the airport's dedicated taxi cab program.

Patrick Keenan, general manager for the third company, Americab, said two of his drivers also have opted not to drive because of the Gay Games ads. The drivers are Muslims, Keenan and Hopkins spokeswoman Jackie Mayo said."

But, feel free to have apoplexy over the issue.

Dude, you totally missed his point, which was clever if apparently a bit obscure.

Oh my God! Could you imagine if someone like the CEO of Chik fil A made a statement like this?

I like how the article in the OP neglects to mention the cab drivers are Muslim.

Another example of intolerant Muslim cab drivers: http://abcnews.go.com/International/story?id=2827800

Fuck them.

wait a sec. The gays keep telling us what they do has no impact on others and is nothing but a private act. But they have gay ads?

Mobilize and do what exactly? Is your point that the intolerant assholes are Muslim rather than the usual Christian ones? Nobody said Christianity has a monopoly on assholes. Are we supposed to boycott the cab companies? From what that said, they are replacing the drivers who were intolerant.

I guess I don't see what the point here is. A few assholes within a business chose to demonstrate their intolerance and the business replaced them, outrage not found,
