they risk being further marginalized

Cathy’s comments brought condemnation from the Human Rights Campaign

Chicken With a Side of Bigotry: Chick-fil-A’s Ungodly Business Plan

his stance against gays and lesbians is not only distasteful, it is stupidly counterproductive to business (and what could be holier than the bottom line)

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The pro-gay marriage crowd keep making such comments as above but if I'm not mistaken Chick-fil-a keeps making profit year after year after year.

Funny how Fox news wrote this story up as Cathy supports “traditional marriage”. Other “news” outlets wote it as Cathy opposes “marriage equality”, like he’s some kind of troglodyte. How I HATE the liberal media.

Am I dreaming? WONDERFUL! They have NOTHING to worry about from the double-gated freaks at the HRC. We the People will give them more business than they could ever imagine to support this principled stand.

I've noticed something odd as a result of being on facebook. I have some gay friends on fb, but they never post anything about gay rights or gay marriage. They post mainly about their pets and other innocuous subjects. But there are a few straights that seem obsessed with gay marriage and post links and photos about it incessantly. Nice that fb has a "hide story" function. Those friends that post Obama crud get the "unsubscribe" function.

Just had my first one today.

I had the charbroiled one, with the "criss cross" fries. Mrs China Clipper had a regular sandwich.

All and all not bad for $12 total.

BTW, noticed that since 1946 they do NOT open on Sundays. How quaint.

The Chik-Fil-A near my house is always busy, there’s always a wait either in drive-thru or at the counter. Other fast food joints nearby are not nearly as busy. Chik-Fil-A employees greet you when you come in or drive up, they are very polite and respond politely when you thank them. They are mostly American kids and all clean-cut looking. The other places nearby employee a lot of folks that don’t speak good English and that are not required to be polite to customers. The contrast is striking and is a main reason why people go there.

That the Cathys are Bible believing Christians is no secret so their stance on social issues should not surprise anyone (except for those who expect Christians to put politics ahead of God). I thank God for them and pray His highest blessings upon them.

“Chick-fil-A President Says Company Opposes Gay Marriage”

That a multi-state company like Chick-fil-A is willing to take a stand for morality in 2012 warms my heart. There are so few of them that won’t back down when the pink mafia and leftist media come after them.

Eat mor chikin.

A restaurant where one doesn't have fudgepackers and carpet munchers flaunting themselves. I bet they will lose all of that 1% of business. The other >50% of the customer base is elated.

“The pro-gay marriage crowd keep making such comments as above but if I’m not mistaken Chick-fil-a keeps making profit year after year after year.”

Seems like a good investment. They are going after the “other 98%” that most other companies have not interest in...

Must watch video of comedian Tim Hawkins performing at what I assume is a Chick Fil A convention.

I limit my trade with companies supporting conservative values. Chick-fil-A and Hobby Lobby are two of my favorites. I will not shop at J C Penny, Target, etc.

They just announced that they are building a new place a few blocks form the house. One of my sons can’t wait because he wants to work there and we have a friend who likely knows the franchise owner.

Great food and awesome service.

I work at Chick-fil-A. I have met this president of CFA, Dan Cathy. He and his family are as real as they get. His father, Truett Cathy, who founded CFA, is probably one of the most Godly men you will ever meet if you meet him. They not only talk the talk, they walk the walk. CFA makes more money in 6 days then most fast food restaurants make in 7, so they can afford to be closed on Sundays.
