So it looked for a minute there that fast-food chain Chick-fil-A was trying to improve it's image with the LGBT community by moving away from anti-gay beliefs and practices, but company president and CEO Dan Cathy disproved that myth Wednesday on Twitter.
Responding to the Supreme Court’s rulings on the Defense of Marriage Act and Proposition 8, Cathy tweeted:
Sad day for our nation; founding fathers would be ashamed of our gen. to abandon wisdom of the ages re: cornerstone of strong societies.
And then, lacking the courage of his convictions on LGBT issues, the tweet was quickly deleted.
Chick-fil-A spokeswoman Carrie Kurlander explained that Cathy “has his own views,” but “Chick-fil-A is focused on providing great tasting food and genuine hospitality.”
The distinction may not be very meaningful given that Chick-fil-A is privately owned and Cathy is its owner.
