Crowd at Chick-Fil-A Appreciation Day

Hubby and I went to Chick-Fil-A to support the call of Gov. Huckabee: Aug. 1 is Chick-Fil-A Appreciation Day. Majority of our friends respected Chick-Fil-A's stand on traditional marriage. According to them, it is their right to express what they believe in and they stand for it. Huby and I prefer KFC or McDonalds when we are hungry but, on this day we showed our support on Chick-Fil-A.I took a picture of my husband with Chick-Fil-A employees and hubby sent them to his "close" friends. Alas! One friend was offended because according to her, she had gay friends. I too had gay friends in fact, most of my close friends are gay but, they are intelligent enough to understand that the "gay issue" in connection with Chick-Fil-A's belief on marriage was POLITICALLY MOTIVATED! Come on now, Chick-Fil-A did not condemn gay people who visit in their restaurant.Look at the long lines of customers showing support. They are not here mainly to eat, they are here to support the freedom of speech. I respect and love all my gay friends and I don't judge them for who they are. When they know that I support Chick-Fil-A, they are not offended. This is a matter of RESPECT. Do not listen to a politically motivated issue. Know the facts.I hope everyone will be happy and respect one another. Enjoy your day everyone.

Chick-Fil-A Visit

Chick-fil-A and Dan Cathy became a household name in the US for the past weeks. I am not a fan of Chick-Fil-A and I do not know Dan Cathy. But, when some politician started bashing on this good business for making a stand on "traditional family", hubby and I made our decision to visit Chick-Fil-A and support them for having the courage to stand for "traditional marriage". If that is their stand, let us respect them.

I have so many gay friends and I love them dearly. I wanted them to be happy too and I respect their choices. As long as they love each other and live in harmony with everyone, I am happy for who they are. They raised good children and they are good parents to their children and I admire them for that.

I just don't understand why some politicians had to jump into conclusion that Chick-Fil-A's stand on " traditional marriage" is hating gay's rights.

Here is Chick-Fil- A's Response to Recent Controversy:

Chick-fil-A is a family-owned and family-led company serving the communities in which it operates. From the day Truett Cathy started the company, he began applying biblically-based principles to managing his business.

The Chick-fil-A culture and service tradition in our restaurants is to treat every person with honor, dignity and respect –regardless of their belief, race, creed, sexual orientation or gender. We will continue this tradition in the over 1,600 Restaurants run by independent Owner/Operators. Going forward, our intent is to leave the policy debate over same-sex marriage to the government and political arena.

Our mission is simple: to serve great food, provide genuine hospitality and have a positive influence on all who come in contact with Chick-fil-A.
