Writing for the Washington Post, Brandon Ambrosino explained that he and his partner are currently planning their "wedding" and have heard from a few friends and family members who can't attend such a ceremony in good conscience. Although this "hurts me deeply," Ambrosino wrote, "I do not think these conservatives should be shamed or mocked."

"I do not think they should be fired," he continued. "And I certainly do not think they should be the butt of a popular BuzzFeed article."

Ambrosino blasted the recent Buzzfeed piece on Chip and Joanna, which "exposed" their pastor as holding the traditional Christian view that marriage is between a man and a woman. The Buzzfeed article noted that Chip and Joanna's beliefs on marriage and homosexuality aren't public, and wondered if they would serve a hypothetical gay couple on their show.

"Two popular celebrities might oppose same-sex marriage because the pastor of the church they go to opposes same-sex marriage, but I haven't heard one way or the other," is a "non-story," Ambrosino wrote, and "I can't imagine pitching that story to an editor and getting a green light."

"A few years ago, gay activists decided the best way to win arguments in favor of same-sex marriage was to shut up their opponents," Ambrosino wrote. "All they had to do was lob a charge of homophobia and the argument was won. Or they tweeted at the companies that employed the 'homophobes' until they were fired."

Nevertheless, Ambrosino noted that at least four out of ten Americans are "not on board" with same-sex "marriage."

"Is the suggestion here that 40 percent of Americans are unemployable because of their religious convictions on marriage?" he asked. "That the companies that employ them deserve to be boycotted until they yield to the other side of the debate—a side, we should note, that is only slightly larger than the one being shouted down?"
