Chick Fil-A
Chick-Fil-A
In the month of July 2012, Chick-fil-a’s President Dan Cathy released a statement on the subject of the company’s beliefs about marriage. Cathy’s statement goes as follows
“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. We are a family-owned business, a family-led business, and we are married to our first wives. We give God thanks for that. We want to do anything we possibly can to strengthen families. We are very much committed to that” (Valentin).
Dan Cathy’s statement seemed to be very controversial, but it doesn’t make it immoral for him to publicly voice the principle of his family and their establishment. Consumers should understand that everyone is entitled to their beliefs, but it doesn’t take away from the integrity of the person or their business.
After Cathy’s statement was released there was uproar about the company and their hatred toward customers with different sexual orientations. Records have surfaced that the release of Cathy’s statement was a form of discrimination against its customers, and employees with different sexual orientation. This led to supporters of Chick fil-a to unite in a movement of, what was known as Chick-fil-a Day. On Aug.1, 2012, hundreds of people came out in support of Chick-fil-a, and their beliefs on biblical principles. America is a country that was established by the principle that everyone is entitled to their own opinions, it is apart of what sets us apart as a nation and it’s what this country was founded on. American’s have the luxury of freedom of speech and religion. Yet when a person decides to voice their views nationally they are ridiculed, just because it is felt by some to be inappropriate.
