Mcdonalds, Burger king, Checkers, and Chik-fil-a are some fast food restaurants I have been eating at almost my whole life. I have been eating fast food since I was at least 3 and never had a problem with any of the fast food restaurants, obviously because I was too young to understand what was going on in the world. The more I grew up, found out, and understood what was going on in the wold I gained my own opinion.The president of Chik-fil-a,Dan Cathey, is a God fearing Christian who does not support same sex marriage and also did an interview on it. He stated " that when it comes to legalizing same sex marriage ,"I think we are inviting God's judgement on our Nation when we shake our fist at Him and say we know better than you as to what constitutes a marriage," and as I read this I noticed he is gaining more customers who are Christians and people who hate him, which are mainly homosexuals. Honestly, I feel like who is Dan Cathey to sit there and say what he said and think there was nothing wrong with it; I find a lot wrong with that statement by itself.
For one, how can you bring God in a situation and say the homosexuals think they know better than God when he is speaking as if he knows exactly what God wants. As a result, they made up a Same Sex Kiss Day to really prove a point. I feel like he was brave enough to say what he said because Religion and Homosexuality is a very controversial topic, then he was brave enough to come with the territory that he provided. Quite frankly, I think he brought it on himself. However, I do too understand where he is coming from, he doesn't believe in same sex marriage and he is standing by it which everyone should do when they believe in something. However, his customers are homosexuals and he is not making it a comfortable place for them to come and enjoy their food by saying that satement. Instead its creating a hostile environment. People want to feel comfortable and safe when they go to any kind of restaurant. Don't you? I know I do. To some it all up you get what you ask for or in fast food talk you get what you pay for.

I agree with your blog Jessica. You're right. Who is he to make such statments about homosexuals. I mean I know it is some you believe in but some opinions should be kept to yourself so that others wont feel uncomfortable around you and in his case he has made it to be were no gay male or female wants to eat at chik-fil-a because of his actions and words against their sexual prefernces. This is totally not right considering that he is only the president of chik-fil-a.
