Chick-Fil-A's FB Statement about the Anti-Gay Marriage Rally


This is their statement via Facebook
To our Facebook community: First and foremost, thanks for your patience as we made sure we gathered the facts in regards to recent postings. We have determined that one of our independent Restaurant Operators in Pennsylvania was asked to provide sandwiches to two Art of Marriage video seminars. As our fans, you know we do our best to serve our local communities, and one of the ways we do that is by providing food to schools, colleges, civic groups, businesses, places of worship, not-for-profit groups, etc. At his discretion, the local Operator agreed to simply provide a limited amount of food. Our Chick-fil-A Operators and their employees try very hard every day to go the extra mile in serving ALL of our customers with honor, dignity and respect.
Still not feeling this. Should the Hate Group contact the HQ to use their name and brand anyways? Who gave the approval in the first place? And why do a PR on Facebook?

I aien't mad at em. I think we get our panties in too big of a wad sometimes. They have been bombarded by complaints over this so that's why they posted on their facebook page. Each store can donate food and such to charities. This was a church group so i am sure they didn't ask if they hated homosexuals b4 they gave the food.

I wonder if, when they donate food to a KKK march, if people will think this is no nig deal.
Plus, since when does a caterer, which is what they're syaing there were doing, get a sponsorship billing?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Chik-Fil-A a religious based Franchise? Which is the reason they aren't open on Sundays in observation of the Sabbath.

You're right for "not feeling this". They have dirtier hands and a much more sordid past. Here's a reference.

I wonder if Chick Fila will supply some FREE food to my Black Panther Meeting next week.

It's getting to the point that we're going to have no where to eat, drink, or be mary with all of the boycotting required of us: Target, Best Buy, Chik-a-Fil, Walmart, etc. There are going to be a lot of naked hungry homos running around.
