One Year Anniversary of Chick Fil A controversial comments

[X Factor 1,112]

American fast-food chain Chick-fil-A was the focus of controversy following a series of public comments made in June 2012 by chief operating officer Dan Cathy opposing same-sex marriage. This followed reports that Chick-fil-A's charitable endeavor, the S. Truett Cathy-family-operated WinShape Foundation, had made millions in donations to political organizations which oppose LGBT rights. LGBT rights activists called for protests and boycotts of the chain, while counter-protestors rallied in support by eating at the restaurants. National political figures both for and against the actions spoke out and some business partners severed ties with the chain.

Chick-fil-A released a statement in July 2012 stating, "Going forward, our intent is to leave the policy debate over same-sex marriage to the government and political arena."

Hey ! Mr. Smiley ! You know, and realize, that the tagline area is NOT the place to make comments, right?

You should write yer own comments, instead, in the body of the text, somewhere.

The same area used to be 'sub-heading' but that's not the case anymore and you've been mis-using tagline area for a month now.

Funny, his "wife" made the same mistake!

That's rather odd. I would have thought that chickens are not too fond of the place.
