Recently Chick-fil-A president Dan Cathy, son of founder Truett Cathy when asked by a Christian news publication about his company's stance on marriage and the family and some of the criticism they've endured said the following: Some have opposed the company’s support of the traditional family. “Well, guilty as charged,” said Cathy when asked about this opposition. “We are very much supportive of the family – the biblical definition of the family unit. We are a family-owned business, a family-led business, and we are married to our first wives. We give God thanks for that. We operate as a family business ... our restaurants are typically led by families – some are single. We want to do anything we possibly can to strengthen families. We are very much committed to that,” Cathy emphasized. “We intend to stay the course. We know that it might not be popular with everyone, but thank the Lord, we live in a country where we can share our values and operate on biblical principles.”

When asked again during a radio interview that followed, Mr. Cathy stated: "As it relates to society in general, I think we’re inviting God’s judgment on our nation when we shake our fist at Him and say, ‘We know better than you as to what constitutes a marriage. I pray God’s mercy on our generation that has such a prideful, arrogant attitude to think we can try to define what marriage is all about,” he explained.Now national media outlets like the LA Times and Huffington Post, upset over his comments, have taken to writing scathing articles and editorials blasting Chick-Fil-A and Mr. Cathy as a bigot and hate monger and are calling for boycotts and protests of the restraunt chain; actions which have been supported by several gay and lesbian groups and now Jim Henson's Muppets. It is indeed a sad state of affairs when free speech and beliefs can be boldly and openly shared, just as long as they do not come from a Christian perspective. Mike Huckabee has since issued a call for "Chick-Fil-A Appreciation Day" set for Wed August 1st in which he is inviting supporters to eat at their local Chick-Fil-A as a show of support for the company and their founders the Cathy's. I'm not usually one to get involved in these sort of issues, but you know it would have to be Chicken Nuggets to draw me off the sidelines; you don't mess with "Chick Ole" as my kids call it! In all seriousness, I was truly moved by the humble and truthful approach that Mr. Cathy took. He merely stated his own conviction, one which I fully support, and as such has come under attack. I would encourage you all to not only participate next Wed, but to keep this company and it's founders in your prayers. If there was ever a "Support Rally" to get behind, this is it! You won't find a tastier cause!
