Today's OMGWTFF!?!?! brought to you by Tim Horton's

National Organization for Marriage is throwing “Rhode Island’s First Annual” Celebrate Marriage & Family Day this coming Sunday 16th...

"The highlight of the Sunday afternoon event will be an opportunity for married couples to renew their vows together at a beautiful waterfront setting. This is a great opportunity to take a stand for marriage as it was created: between a man and a woman. Our goal is to esteem marriage to its proper place in society and make a statement that Rhode Islanders believe strongly in this cherished institution."

One of the sponsors of the event is Tim Horton's. Why is TIM Freaking HORTON'S is supporting something like this?

Good. The last thing the people at that event need is caffeine.

Oh FUCK NO. I do not approve of a holy canadian institution such as this getting dirty in such a disgusting thing.

I just hope they kind of sponsored because they support family events (which they do) without knowing about the marriage thing.

The company said they agreed to provide coffee before knowing what it was for... I don't know if that's true or what they're saying to better.

I don't understand marriage, but I don't think it's right to deny two people the right to do it.

ETA: and then to celebrate that in an "event" like that?
