Goodwin, Liz. "Popular chicken chain under fire for anti-gay marriage donations." Yahoo News. Yahoo.com. January 31, 2011.
Currently, Chick-fil-A is receiving a lot of hate from supporters of gay marriages. Chick-fil-A is famous for being closed on Sundays because of having been founded on Christian values. They also give generously to many Christian causes, scholarships, and other Christian organizations. A Chick-fil-A in Harrisburg Pennsylvania donated sandwhiches and brownies to one of The Pennsylvania Family Group meetings. This group works hard in trying to outlaw gay marriages, pro-gay marriage bloggers, and other gay right organizations. President of Chick-fil-A, Dan Cathy responded by saying, " Chick-fil-A serves all people and values all people."
Some customers are actually happy that Chick-fil-A did this. Some say they will now support Chick-fil-A even more because of the donation. John Joyner wrote, "You have nothing to explain to your customers, we support your family values, and know that you mean no ill-will to those with other opinions." Those who support gay marriage are very upset about this, especially those who love eating at Chick-fil-A. Rob Augino wrote,"I've eated and loved chick all my life. I am sad that me and my entire family must denounce the Chick until you publicly apologize and make and equal opposite donation to the Human Rights Campaign or other civil rights group." Personally, I am very proud of Chick-fil-A for standing up for their faith and what they know to be morally correct. I think that many Christians will still be a big supporter of Chick-fil-A and this will not hurt their business at all.
