In case you’ve been hiding under a rock over the past week, Chick-fil-A and gay rights have been all over the news. The controversy erupted for the Southern based fast food chain earlier this month when the son of Chick-fil-A’s founder admitted supporting “the biblical definition of a family unit.”
As The New York Times reports the Jim Henson Company, which created toys for the chain, will not offer any more Muppets. Lisa Henson, the chief executive officer, stated that she supported same-sex marriage and would donate money that the company had received from Chick-fil-A to the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation. Leadership in the cities of Chicago and Boston made moves to ensure that the chain was no longer welcome in their cities.
I had not even heard of Chick-fil-A until about a year ago but I’ve been told it is a delicious sandwich. And you might be saying to yourself – who cares?! I can’t eat it anyway.
