Why does this bother me so much?

Question

I really don't know why, but things such as, i don't know, the thing with Chick-Fil-A. But not for the reason you think. The guy merely stated his opinion. End of story, right? No. I personally don't agree with it, but just stating his opinion is not a reason to go ape.

Things like that in the media, all those negative stories are really getting to me. It sometimes gets to the point where I want to go sit in a secluded corner by myself and just think about...stuff. Not bad stuff like cutting myself, but sometimes i like too just sit down and reason out, in my mind, why something gets to me in such a way. I have Asperger's, so that probably explains some of it, but it's really bad sometimes, and I KNOW it shouldn't affect me. 

I really wonder sometimes if there's no respect left in the world. Why can't we just leave everyone to figure out their own beliefs and way in the world? See, it's getting to me even as i write this.. any help please? :D

Well...I could go off on a 30 minute rant, but I'll keep it simple.

Everyone feels that way sometimes, about how wrong it is for people to be discriminated for what they believe. In my opinion, a man and a man shouldn't get married, but that's their life. That's their decision. So should we mortally hate them? Should we shout offensive words about/at them? No. People should learn to respect other people and others opinions.

Now, the Chick-Fil-A's owner said nothing wrong. He never said he hated gays. He simply said, "I come from a Christian family, and this is a Christian company, and we do not believe in gay marriage." There's nothing wrong with that! He never said that they didn't serve gays; they probably don't even care if you're gay when they hire you! The people who are mad at Chick-Fil-A are nut jobs. That's my opinion.

Don't worry, you're not alone my friend. Cheers
