Difficult even if I was so inclined only 1 in NYC on NYUs Campus. If it hasn't closed down due to no business.Chick-fil-A gets a lesson on corporate outspokenness No one should begrudge Dan Cathy his right to describe his personal views on gay marriage. But he crossed a line when he injected himself and his company into politics. Chick-fil-A headquarters in Atlanta moved to distinguish its policies from the views of its president: “Our intent is to leave the policy debate over same-sex marriage to the government and political arena.” But the damage may have already been done. By Michael Hiltzik July 31, 2012, 6:21 p.m. Despite decades if not centuries of bitter experience, business leaders apparently haven't absorbed the lesson that it's best to let your products speak for themselves and keep your big mouth shut. The latest executive to learn this the hard way is Dan Cathy, president of the family-owned fast-food chain Chick-fil-A. In an interview with a Baptist publication and an appearance on a devotional radio program, Cathy unburdened himself of the view that gay marriage violated God's plan. San Francisco is the third city to tell Chick-fil-A: Keep out "We are very much supportive of the family — the biblical definition of the family unit," he told the Biblical Recorder. On the radio, he observed: "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." Cathy's outburst ignited a very predictable outbreak of partisan posturing centered on the choice: ban or boycott? The mayor of Boston, a Philadelphia council member and a Chicago alderman, among other politicians, aired threats to keep Chick-fil-A stores out of their jurisdictions, playing to their constituencies being easier since they probably have no legal right to do so, and they know it. Meanwhile, calls for boycotts erupted on Facebook, Twitter and various other places where boycotts get organized these days. As a counterweight, Sarah Palin and Todd Palin had their picture taken holding up big bags from Chick-fil-A, as if to prove that in modern America you can affiliate yourself with retrograde social prejudice and line your arteries with cholesterol at one stop, without moving the car. Chick-fil-A headquarters in Atlanta moved promptly to distinguish its policies from the views of its president, affirming that it hews to nondiscriminatory practices and that henceforth "our intent is to leave the policy debate over same-sex marriage to the government and political arena." The company's fast footwork still leaves open the question of the right way to express distaste for a company's politics. Municipal obstructions plainly aren't the answer, and the mayors and council members who mentioned them were promptly slapped down by free-speech advocates, as was proper. No one should begrudge Cathy his right to describe his personal views any way he wishes, although it might not be a terrible idea to try to learn a little more about why he thinks he has a direct line into God's medulla oblongata before accepting his claim to be the Lord's personal spokesman. In his radio talk, after all, he's the one who condemned a "prideful, arrogant attitude," though he was referring to those who have the audacity to "try to define what marriage is all about." Despite what Cathy's supporters might claim, public boycotts aren't infringements on his free speech. With a handful of modern exceptions — the grape boycott against anti-union California growers in the 1960s and the disinvestment campaign against South African apartheid in the 1980s — boycotts today are informational tools. No one publicizing Cathy's views has the power or authority to keep anyone out of his stores, but they do have the ability to help patrons walking up to his counters to know where their money is going. Still, an even more important task is to make sure that the private views of corporate bosses don't interfere with their public obligations under the law. Should a public official pay more attention to Cathy's ruminations or to a gender discrimination case recently filed in federal court in Georgia by a female ex-store manager? (The company hasn't responded to the complaint in court.) Obviously, the latter. The law provides no recourse against any corporate viewpoints, no matter how obnoxious, but it's chock-full of protections against discrimination and other obnoxious behavior. Any mayors concerned about Chick-fil-A's policies should welcome the company into their town, put all their eggs in the basket of laws obligating it to good public behavior and, as Andrew Carnegie and Mark Twain both said (and how often did they agree?), "Watch that basket!" The Chick-fil-A affair is reminiscent of the last time a corporate bigwig raised a ruckus by speaking out of turn. That was in 2009, when Whole Foods founder John Mackey wrote an op-ed attacking President Obama's healthcare proposals. Mackey hinted that we could probably do away with the need for organized healthcare by eating from the right menu, such as that marketed by his stores. He argued that the nation's founding documents didn't "reveal any intrinsic right to healthcare, food, or shelter" anyway, so quitcher bellyachin'. A boycott of Whole Foods was promptly launched. In 2010, similarly, it was revealed that Target had contributed $150,000 to a PAC backing a gubernatorial candidate opposing gay rights. A customer and shareholder backlash followed. These episodes, like the Cathy case, illustrate where the dangers lie in corporate outspokenness. First of all, it's most damaging when actions or expressed views either run counter to a company's marketing image or tell customers something about a firm that they had been happy to overlook before. Nobody thinks twice, for example, about Patagonia founder Yvon Chouinard's standing up for environmentalism and conservation; that fits right into the average Patagonia customer's self-identification backpack. But patrons of both Whole Foods and Target tended to view both companies as paragons of social inclusiveness, which was undermined by their discovery that the former was headed by an unrepentant libertarian capitalist and the latter was lending secret support to policies that violated its own corporate standards. As for Chick-fil-A, the piety of its owners hasn't been exactly a secret: A 2007 profile of founder and Chief Executive S. Truett Cathy in Forbes, headlined "The Cult of Chick-fil-A," mentioned that its corporate mission, "glorify God," was inscribed on a plaque at company headquarters and explained that its policy of closing its 1,600 stores on Sunday aimed to allow operators to go to church and spend the time with their families. Cathy's millions in donations to organizations opposed to gay marriage have been documented in public tax filings. But Chick-fil-A customers didn't have to think about that until Cathy's son Dan stepped over the second danger line by injecting himself and his company into politics. At some point when the Cathy family was formulating its views on gay relationships, they became a political issue, what with legislatures and courts all over the country clearing the way for gay marriage and advocates of traditional marriage, whatever that is, pushing back. Mackey and the executives of Target might have advised Dan Cathy that at that point he should clam up. No one necessarily would have begrudged Mackey his views on health and nutrition until he attached them to the question of how to provide healthcare to more Americans, which was the topic of ferocious political debate. He had as much right to air his views as anyone else, but no right to be surprised that they reflected on his company. Similarly, Target probably thought it was in the clear on its donation to a PAC because it was secret, until it wasn't secret anymore. Indeed, that's why the sources of big money remain shrouded via contributions to 501(c)4 "social welfare" organizations, which don't have to disclose their donors and yet are playing a multibillion-dollar role in state and federal elections. Sometimes politics intercede where you may not expect it. Corporations of all types have supported Planned Parenthood for years, presumably on the grounds that helping deliver inexpensive healthcare to underprivileged women was a good thing and one that fit in with corporate principles such as diversity and fairness. Then one morning they woke up to discover that their longtime beneficiary had become transformed into a gigantic political football. (Apologies to Franz Kafka.) The next thing they knew, they were on an anti-abortion organization's boycott list. Corporate executives surrounded by yes men telling them how wise they are will probably continue to try sharing their wisdom on subjects well outside their core competencies. Sometimes they'll tailor their words to what they think are their target markets. Sometimes, like Cathy, they'll discover that there are bigger markets out there where customers may not care for what they have to say. We should defend to the death their right to speak, and also our own right to make them pay for it, or not, at the cash register.

Go right ahead. People will say you're wrong, say you're bigoted, say you're a Neanderthal. You'll have to expect that if you ascribe to such a limited, archaic belief. You're still free to have it.It's different to legislate it. Can't do that. Gays have the same right to a fully recognized legal marriage. Period. This is America, where rights are supposed to be expanded as society improves. |

LOL, anyone that disagrees with your position on gay issues is an "anti-gay hater".And for the record I have already been to one gay wedding since the law changed, and have another in August, so I don't want to hear your crap. You don't seem to feel that those that disagree with your position have the right to their position, and THAT is my criticism, not your position itself. |

And that's why it's ok not to eat there.But the actions and words of politicians and activist kissers is what scares me. They are overreacting and a threat to freedom. Don't agree with the gay agenda, or disagree with Obamacare, and your business is a target. |

Again, they have every right, and their "funding that does no good to you", is THEIR beliefs, the beliefs you disagree with, and feel they don't have the right to. What don't YOU not understand about that?I actually AGREE with your position on this. But I also will fight for the right of others to have their right to their position. |

I won't be partaking, lol, I think I rather take a bath in ice cube water than ever do such a thing...but that said, more power to them. Democracy allows them to fill the restaurants and kiss away....more power to them. I also agree to the right of those opposed to think it's gross. |

Most of the people attacking you are not necessarily attacking your position, only your idea that you feel others don't have a right to their position if contrary to yours. |

I read it and all the stupid quotes.Even if I don't see the world the way Chick-fil-A does, I'm standing up against leftist terrorism and fear tactics. They are taking things too far. Just like they did against Whole Foods. I'm now a steady customer there thanks to the overreaction of the left. And if someone told cable and satellite operators not to carry your gay/multicultural television stations, I'd tell them to go fuck themselves too. |

Exactly, and that's what I am venomously against. The owners of the restaurant have JUST as much right to their position against the matter, as those that that are for the matter. The unfortunate part of it is though that those extremists and activists don't believe that anyone that disagrees with their position has a right to operate or believe as they do, and THAT is wrong.If they don't like the restaurant's position, don't go there. simple. |

It's ALSO my right to prevent Chick-Fil-A from furthering the activities of groups that actively work to keep me in second-class status as an American citizen. somehow, that face seems to escape you. Funding hate groups to the tune of millions of dollars goes far, far beyond "opinion" or "beliefs", since the money is being used to impose THEIR beliefs on me, and everybody else. |

That's how the Left takes things too far.How are you going to "prevent"? Let me know. I have to get moovin' to Chick-fil-A. |

Nonviolent protest (something the First Amendment says is not only OK, but also a right) is "taking things too far" in your world, but funding hate groups with millions of dollars isn't?I'm sorry, Luch, but that kind of thinking is hallucinogenic. |
