Controversy With The President Of Chick-Fil-A

As a child growing up,there were alot of familyrestaurants and fast food places to eat at. McDonalds,Ryan's,Burger King,China Inn,Picadilly's,Chick-Fil-A and plenty others were great places for families to enjoy great food. When I was growing up,there were nothing but great times spent at those places. Everybody loved those restaurants and fast food places and had no problems with them. However,now-a-days for one of those fast food places it's a different story.

The Chick-Fil-A president,Dan Cathy, stirred up some controversy when he stated his views on same sex marriage in an interview he did with the Baptist Press. He stated "When it comes to legalizing same-sex marriage,I think we are 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 and I pray God's mercy on our generation that has such a prideful, arrogant attitude to think that we have the audacity to define what marriage is about." That made alot of Chick-Fil-A customers and non customers happy that he said that and a very large amount of people angry,a large amount of them were homosexuals. Cathy's statement on same-sex is really giving Chick-Fil-A bad press and bad business. In my opinion,Dan Cathy was seriously wrong for the statements he made about same-sex marriage. I mean,who is he to judge them and use God against them like that.

  I think that Dan is courageous for putting his views out there like that,because of his religion. However,putting those views out there came with a territory of hurting alot of people that are homosexual. I understand that he is just using his freedom of speech to point out his opinion and I don't blame him for standing up for his opinion. However,i believe he could've just kept his opinion to hisself,because he is making it very uncomfortable for his LGBT customers to hang out,buy and enjoy their food there. As a businessman,he really should've known that that was going to start controversy. Now alot of homosexuals and transexuals are scared to even walk into Chick-Fil-A restaurants to buy food,because they're afraid they're going to get jumped or gay bashed. That's very sad to me. People are scared to enjoy their food now all because of one person's opinion. I mean wouldn't you want to be able to enjoy food from a great restaurant with no worries or fears that something bad will happen to you? I know I would. Honestly,I just believe Dan Cathy should've kept his opinion to hisself.
