The loony left is always on the prowl for anything to whine about. Now the Chick-fil-A restraunt has been branded anti-gay because it donated refreshments to a conservative conference titled “The Art of Marriage: Getting to the Heart of God’s Design”
What an outrage!!!
Over the last month, Chick-fil-A has been branded and boycotted by gay activist groups after the family-owned restaurant announced it would donate refreshments for a conservative conference in February titled “The Art of Marriage: Getting to the Heart of God’s Design” at the Pennsylvania Family Institute.
The chicken eatery is headquartered in Atlanta, Ga., and has chains located across the country, with many in the country’s Bible Belt. In addition to serving up tasty fried chicken sandwiches, the company is also known for promoting Christian values. Chick-fil-A’s founder, S. Truett Cathy, is a devout Christian whose religious beliefs shine through his company, which invests heavily in community service organizations. In addition, all Chick-fil-A locations are closed on Sundays.
After a number of blogs picked up on the company’s “sponsorship” of the anti-gay marriage event, Chick-fil-A president Dan Cathy posted a video on the company’s Facebook page to clarify the company’s stance. “Let me be clear, Chick-Fil-A serves all people and values all people,” Cathy said.
“Providing food to these events, or any event, is not an endorsement of the mission, political stance or motives of this or any other organization. Any suggestion otherwise is just inaccurate,” he added.
