Dan Cathy, president and Chief Operating Officer of Chick-fil-A, created a major controversy in the summer of 2012 when he told an interviewer that people who advocate for same-sax marriages are “inviting God’s judgment on our nation when we shake our fist at him, and say, you know, we know better than you as to what constitutes a marriage. And I pray God’s mercy on our generation that has such a prideful, arrogant attitude to think that we would have the audacity to try to redefine what marriage is all about.” With these comments Cathy positioned his business in the center of a national debate on same-sax marriage and lesbian rights.
