Chick-Fil-A : Bye-Bye

About a year and a half ago, Chick-Fil-A joined the Chamber of Commerce in Mountain View, California.  This is notable only because there wasn’t a Chick-Fil-A in the area.  Mountain View is located in the heart of Silicon Valley which is known to be part of the greater San Francisco Bay Area.  Naturally, this entire area, especially towns located on the west side of the bay, is quite progressive.  

I am board member of the Chamber of Commerce.  One of our duties is to approve new members to the organization.  When this came up, it was well before the recent national brouhaha caused by their Chief Operating Officer, Dan Cathy due to his quote about same-sex marriage that those who "have the audacity to define what marriage is about" were "inviting God's judgment on our nation.” No, back in early 2011, the only real controversy about Chick-Fil-A was really a) is their food healthier than say, a McDonalds, and b) do they really contribute (as an organization) to anti-gay causes?
