Chick-fil-A Day! ~ By Kyle

As most of you know, there has been a battle raging recently between the "fast food" restaurant Chick-fil-A and Homosexual advocates, all of this coming after the restaurant's president was outspoken about his stand for "traditional" marriage.

Below are several clips from news articles by OneNewsNow;

The president and chief operating officer of Chick-fil-A has no qualms about expressing his support for traditional marriage and families.

Dan T. Cathy, Chick-fil-A's president and chief operating officer, appeared earlier this week on the syndicated weekly radio talk show The Ken Coleman Show. When asked about his company's pride in its socially conservative character, Cathy took the opportunity to voice his feelings about 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," said the business leader. "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."

In the aftermath of the company president’s declaration for traditional marriage, the National Organization for Marriage is calling on people of faith to support Chick-fil-A. At the same time, the mayor of Boston is getting roasted for his opposition to the restaurant chain.

President Dan Cathy, president and chief operating officer of the restaurant chain, recently stated in an interview with a Christian news journal that his privately owned company is "guilty as charged" of supporting what he calls "the biblical definition of the family unit." Jonathan Baker of the National Organization for Marriage (NOM) tells OneNewsNow that Chick-fil-A owners Dan and Truett Cathy are simply taking a firm position based on their faith.

"They've not done it in an objectionable fashion. They've not denigrated people. They simply shared that they are Christians, that they hold with biblical teaching on what marriage should be," Baker points out. "And frankly, they've put a lot of money where their mouth is. They're a great example for the rest of us in supporting marriage."

As Baker points out, the resulting rhetoric against the Truett family has been extremely harsh. That, he says, is why his organization is asking supporters to quietly stand with the restaurant.

 "In response to the Cathy family's support for marriage, the National Organization for Marriage is urging Chick-fil-A customers to go ahead and visit their local Chick-fil-A and have a chicken sandwich and share their support for the Cathy family," Baker says. "The two dates are Wednesday, July 25th and Wednesday, August 1st (today!)."

 He says the "National Eat at Chick-fil-A" days will also send a message that heroes who stand for marriage and family cannot be silenced.

Unfortunately, there are no Chick-fil-As to support in the state of Washington, but I know there are several of them in Arizona (I remember when we used to go there!). So Phoenix family, why not go out for some chicken today and go to battle for a good cause? If not, spread the news! We want to send an overwhelming message to the mayors of Chicago, San Francisco, Boston (who all are banning Chick-fil-A from their cities), and homosexuals everywhere that there is still a strong remnant in this country that believes in God's truth!
