(Midland, Texas) Chick-fil-A packed with supporters

Midlanders who didn’t think Chick-fil-A could become anymore crowded than it already is were proved wrong today.

Supporters from around the Permian Basin showed up in droves at both the Chick-fil-A on Loop 250 and the restaurant in Midland Park Mall. Some waited in the drive-thru line for more than an hour, while others stood in a line* that stretched outside and around a portion of the building so they could place an order.

“I’d stay here for four hours if I had to,” said Maryann Harless, who had been sitting in the drive-thru for about an hour. “I stand for what (Dan T. Cathy, president and CEO of Chick-fil-A) stands for. God’s going to bless him tremendously.”

The controversy surrounding the chicken chain started in July when Cathy told a Baptist publication that he’s “guilty as charged” for backing “the biblical definition of a family.” According to the Associated Press, Cathy said in another interview, “I think we are inviting God’s judgment on our nation when we shake our fist at him and say, ‘We know better than you as to what constitutes a marriage.’”

The statements incited a backlash from gay rights groups and also caused mayors in Boston and Chicago to make it clear they don’t believe Chick-fil-A’s stances, or in some cases its restaurants, belong in their cities.
