Time to boycott a family-owned restaurant chain ‘Chick-fil-A’ who are knee-deep in controversy after a blogger and students and faculty at Indiana University South Bend discovered it gave money to anti-LGBT organizations.
In early January, a Pennsylvania Chick-fil-A franchise agreed to sponsor the hosting of a Familylife.com conference titled "The Art of Marriage: Getting To the Heart of God's Design" at the Pennsylvania Family Institute in February. The franchise was going to give free sandwiches and brownies for all attendees.
Both Familylife.com and the Pennsylvania Family Institute vehemently oppose same-sex marriage.
Dan Cathy, president of the Chick-fil-A and son of company founder Truett Cathy, issued a response on Facebook and the company's website:
"While my family and I believe in the Biblical definition of marriage," wrote Cathy, "we love and respect anyone who disagrees."
There are now calls on the American public, both in the GLBT community and our supporters, to boycott the homophobic and religiously intolerant company.
The company has also sacked a Muslim worker for not joining in Christian prayers, they demanded students who get a scholarship from the company to follow a very strict Christian way, if not, their money and scholarship is pulled.
