I love the Chick-fil-A food chain for so many reasons. Chick-fil-A gave me my first job. I was a cashier for a summer during high school.
Besides finding Chick-fil-A chicken delicious, I also appreciate the work ethic expected and demonstrated from the management down to fellow cashiers.
As a Christian, I never had to compromise my standards while working. Sundays were set aside for worship and family time which continues today at every Chick-fil-A. So, when the CEO of Chick-fil-A speaks about family values, he speaks from conviction and by example.
I am honored to support Chick-fil-A’s stand defining the family unit as a husband and a wife. Though I expected some resistance, I did not expect the uproar over Chick-fil-A’s stance.
As a response to the backlash, Mike Huckabee endorsed a Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day for today, August 1, 2012. For more information, check out Mike Huckabee’s post.
If you also agree with Chick-fil-A, consider stopping by to show your support. I know I will support Chick-fil-A, which is “my pleasure!”
Question: Was the backlash Chick-fil-A received justified?
Shannon Roughgarden says
The backlash was not called for. I do not know why the liberals are shocked that the CEO said he was against gay marriage. They are closed on Sundays and are Christians, not that surprising. I tend to notice that those who expect others to be tolerant of all things, tend to be the least tolerant when not agreed with. Talk about a double standard. I am going out to support Chick Fil A today!

Awesome comment! Chick-fil-A’s here in South Carolina had lines of people waiting! It was awesome to support such a great organization.
