My friend Blair at Prepare1 sent me a posting by Dan Miller recently where Dan focuses on the next year's goals in November. For years I've cleaned my office during this time of year, especially between Christmas and New years my methodology has been to file what needs to be filed, throw the rest into a big draw and then file or throw away what is necessary later. Many of us (you) keep ourselves busy with decorating, shopping, parties, etc etc etc. Good emotions because of the time of year not so good because business tends to slow down, it's harder to get appointments, and I'm rarely ready for business to slow down. Interesting in that I'm always glad for them for many reasons, yet, they also bring about conflicting emotions. But this past March, when Northeastern University rejected a proposed contract to bring a Chick-fil-A restaurant on campus, a Cathy bizarrely claimed that the company had “no political agenda.” He said in a media statement “we are not anti-anybody and Chick-fil-A have no agenda, policy or position against anyone as some reports continue to represent.The holidays are an interesting time of the year. According to an Equality Matters analysis of public records, in 2010 the company’s foundation distributed nearly $2 million to anti-LGBT groups including the Marriage & Family Foundation, the Family Research Council, and Exodus International - and millions more in previous years. The Chick-fil-A corporation has long funded anti-gay organizations. Going forward, our intent is to leave the policy debate over same-sex marriage to the government and political arena.
We will continue this tradition in the over 1,600 Restaurants run by independent Owner/Operators. The Chick-fil-A culture and service tradition in our restaurants is to treat every person with honor, dignity and respect - regardless of their belief, race, creed, sexual orientation or gender. Today’s statement on the the Chick-fil-a Facebook page takes the exact opposite view. 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.Ĭathy reinforced his views in a radio interview, in which he asked “God’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.” He continued his anti-LGBT campaign Wednesday on Twitter, twice bragging that the Baptist Press interview had “lit up the gay community.” We are very much supportive of the family - the biblical definition of the family unit … We intend to stay the course.
When asked about reports that the company was against same-sex marriage, he told the paper “Well, guilty as charged,” adding: In his interview with the Baptist Press, Cathy admitted that the company indeed has an anti-gay political agenda. But after two days of Cathy boasting about the story, the company’s Facebook page now features a message flatly contradicting its head. On Monday, a Baptist Press story quoted Chick-fil-A’s president Dan Cathy admitting his company’s anti-gay ideology - a stance the company previously attempted to deny.
