Chick fil A

Chick fil A is a private company founded in 1967 by Truett Cathy a Southern Baptist who believed that gay marriage was wrong. His stores are closed on Sundays to honor the biblical reference to honor the Lords Day. Cathy has donated money to groups who oppose gay marriage. Recently two stores were forced to close by government regulations because of perceived or real prejudice against gays. The company has no policy against hiring or serving gays. Cathy has put his money where his mouth is since the company loses one-seventh of their sales by closing on Sunday. If this process of closing stores continues it could cause the company to go out of business. Some who oppose Chick have stated that is their purpose. There are 120,000 people who work at Chick and they are ordinary citizens trying to pay their light bill and they will be out of a job.
