It’s because the CEO of the company, Dan Cathy said, in public and out loud, that he was against gay marriage, as part of his own religious beliefs. Not the company’s mind you, just his.

BUT, NEVER, EVER has Chik Fil A discriminated against gay customers. They serve them like anyone else; proudly, happily and with a warm thank you.
They are a Christian-run company who has the distinction of being closed on Sundays so the employees honor the Sabbath. They’re NOT saying you have to do so; just that they will not be open on that day of the week.
The lies and smears about Dan Cathy are horrendous.
Even Snopes, that Far Left so-called “Truth” site, had to say one of the most egregious smears, that Cathy wanted to ban blacks, as well as gays (he never banned gays) was FALSE.

Yes, I remember when Dan Cathy made the statement that he believes marriage is between a man and a woman and the left was beside themselves.
But leftists are always on the warpath about ‘greedy capitalism.’ So with the way the Cathys operate Chick-fil-A you’d think they would be happy, yet they’re against them — and no matter what the company does, even giving up the freedom to say what they believe as Christians, it’s never enough.
Because leftists are control freaks and liars.
