<p>Chik-Fil-A is anti-gay and proud of it.</p>
<p>The <a title="huffington post" href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/17/dan-cathy-chick-fil-a-president-anti-gay_n_1680984.html">Huffington Post reports</a> that the &#8220;eat-mor-chiken&#8221; restaurant has been criticized in the past for its support of anti-gay Christian organizations. So it isn&#8217;t too surprising that company president Dan Cathy pleaded &#8220;guilty as charged&#8221; to the accusations.</p>
<p>When asked about the accusations in<a href="http://www.bpnews.net/BPnews.asp?ID=38271" target="_hplink"> an interview with the <em>Baptist Press</em></a>, Cathy said:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Well, guilty as charged&#8230;. We are very much supportive of the family &#8212; the biblical definition of the family unit. We are a family-owned business, a family-led business, and we are married to our first wives. We give God thanks for that&#8230;we know that it might not be popular with everyone, but thank the Lord, we live in a country where we can share our values and operate on biblical principles.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Cathy added in another interview that lawmakers are defying god&#8217;s word with pro-gay marriage laws.</p>
<p><a title="good as you" href="http://www.goodasyou.org/good_as_you/2012/07/audio-chickfila-president-coo-dan-cathy-says-arrogant-same-sex-marriage-shaking-fist-at-god-invites-god-judgment.html">Cathy said</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I think we are inviting God&#8217;s judgment on our nation when we shake our fist at Him and say &#8216;we know better than you as to what constitutes a marriage&#8217; and I pray God&#8217;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.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Needless to say, the comments didn&#8217;t sit well with the LGBT community.</p>
