Or if McDonalds had done it, burgers and fries?
Ask yourself this: Why hasn't any other company been as stupid as Chik-Fil-A has been?
I'm not naive enough to think that no other company has executives that are religious fundies or even bigoted views on their own customers, but why is Chik-Fil-A so stupid as to take that stance?
Why do I say "stupid?"
I say it because when you're in business with the public, you need them, more than they need you. If you can't appeal to people you've never met, then you're shooting yourself in the foot.
You're free to start selling Nooses at Bucky's Chicken Shack in Biloxi, MS for all I care, but no one has to visit your establishment on the flip side.
Why is CFA's management so stupid? Tell me.
This is a MASSIVE PR failure. Don't let the lines of christians who think their rights trump all others fool you. Every time you go to a CFA or hear the name, you'll continue to think how they view gays or remember this incident. Even if you don't agree with gay marriage or even homosexuality, CFA is on the wrong side of history as society moves progressively towards a stance that accepts gays to live with equal footing.
Actually the more I hear about it, the more ridiculous I think the backlash is and the more I want that deluxe spicy chicken sandwich with chick fil-a sauce
