During an interview with the Baptist Press, aka “News With A Christian Perspective,” Chick-fil-A CEO Dan Cathy was probably feeling very comfortable discussing the chicken chain’s biblical values. This is maybe why they buried the most controversial part of the story — a question about the company’s reputedly anti-gay marriage stance — at the very end: “Guilty as charged,” Cathy confirmed.
It’s been rather obvious, really, but the company’s traditionally remained mum when pressed about their frequent donations to anti-gay groups. Cathy’s thorough response confirmed their position, however:
We are very much supportive of the family — the biblical definition of the family unit. We are a family-owned business, a family-led business, and we are married to our first wives. We give God thanks for that…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.
