Is Chick-fil-A Anti-Gay Marriage?

Lunch and breakfast lines seem just as long at restaurants , though the chain is under fire for comments its president Dan Cathy made in an interview with the Baptist Press.

In the interview, Cathy described his support for "the biblical definition of the family unit," reports the Los Angeles Times.

“We are a family-owned business, a family-led business, and we are married to our first wives,” Cathy said in the interview with Baptist Press.

The article noted that the popular restaurant chain trains workers “to focus on values rooted in the Bible.” Chick-fil-A's across the country are closed on Sundays for the Sabbath.

Do you agree with Chick-fil-A's CEO? Will his comments affect whether you patronize his restaurant?

Cathy will speak more about his business philosophies at a metro Atlanta chamber meeting in August, when the Greater North Fulton Chamber of Commerce will host him.

However, since Cathy's statement, several online bloggers have written that Cathy's comments show that the restaurant chain's leader is anti-gay marriage. The Los Angeles Times article reported about the online flap in an article headlined: "Is Chick-fil-A anti-gay marriage? 'Guilty as charged,' leader says."

Equality Matters, which support gay rights, issued a report examining donations by the restaurant company. In 2010, the company gave nearly $2 million to Christian-based groups that oppose homosexuality, according to Equality Matters.
