I can't help but think that, if this were the wildly popular Ahmed's Falafel Hut chain, owned by a Muslim family who made similar comments, this thread wouldn't exist. That goes for the other thread as well.
Look, don't get me wrong, I disagree with the guys stance, I think he's wrong, and he would have been better served keeping his opinions to himself. But he's entitled to his beliefs, he's entitled to express them, and unless the company has a policy of refusing service to homosexuals, I don't see an issue.
I would ask all those who are suggesting a boycott of the establishment one question...
Do you also boycott Carl's Jr.? Hardee's? Green Burrito? Red Burrito (never heard of that one)? I ask because I'm betting that most of you who are "outraged" by the stance of the Chick Fil A management probably support a woman's right to choose. Why is this important? Because Carl Karcher gave his money to right to life groups...
