Adam Smith, the former medical-device executive whose career was ruined when a video of him berating a Chick-Fil-A employee for the companys anti-gay stance went viral, said his family is now homeless and living on food stamps.
Mr. Smith, 37, who was the CFO of an Arizona-based catheter manufacturer, toldABCs 20/20 he was fired after recording an exchange between himself and a drive-thru cashier in June 2012, as the fast-food chain was embroiled in a national controversy over company President Dan Cathys public opposition to gay marriage.

Agreed...you could see this manifested in the run-up to the confrontation...
Going to bet that his RV is worth more than my family’s present net worth, and that he pays more per month for the space for his RV than I do in monthly rent.
A commie named Adam Smith.
Hhmmmm
He couldn’t find another job? Really? Too busy wallowing in self pity and looking for someone else to blame for his own bigoted and stupidity, apparently.
Maybe he can be a CFO of the local soup kitchen. He could use some humility.
Maybe he can go to work for Salesforce, the company that wants to deny residents of Indiana their/our Constitutionally-guaranteed Freedom of Religion.
Sounds like he’d fit in real well there.
He was a CFO of a company and now can’t find ANY job???
Come on now... I have NO college or managerial experience and I can find SOME sort of work to keep my bills paid.
Poor widdle baby! Has he applied for food stamps and an obama phone yet?
Well do a stupid thing and post your stupid thing on the internet and this is what happens....
Not even a piggy bank?
You ain’t my conscience...
and I have little in the way of “charity” for liberals...the very spawn of satan doing his bidding here on earth.
He might want to shave his beard, as the job market is tight right now : )
That surprised me, too. After all, the guy is a dick.
But this I say, I love you because you hate evil.
This is a pretty mild thread. Seems most folks are just not surprised that he is not successful in life when he has that attitude. He was the one who recorded his actions and put it on the internet. I have seen far worse threads, though this one may yet rise to outrageous.
AND not make a video of his arrogant I'm-So-Superior-To-You behavior and post it online.
A condescending attention whore isn't exactly what employers are looking for.
He looks like he should be painting canvasses on PBS, saying, as he paints another cloud to cover a badly painted seagull, ‘There’s no mistakes, only happy accidents!’
Please post your evidence that Chick-Fil-A is anti homosexual. And among the guy's other talents, he is a confirmed liar. He got what he deserved, nothing more, nothing less. you can always donate him a place to stay.
“Such hatefulness should be punished.”
The free market is punishing him; even a “gay friendly” company does not want to hire a proven obnoxious idiot.
There are many of them around, but only a select few have been stupid enough to record _themselves_ at their “best”.
But didn’t deserve to lose his job.
Losing one’s job can be a death penalty for some people.
