This story is based on two articles–one posted at The Blaze<\/a> on Tuesday and one posted at Hot Air<\/a> on Tuesday. The article at The Blaze reports that the Jim Henson company<\/a> will be donating its profits from its partnership with Chick-fil- A<\/a> to the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD). The two companies were in discussions about a deal to include muppet toys in children’s’ meals at the restaurant. That won’t be happening.<\/p>\n

All of this is in response to Chick-fil-A\u2019s owners making a statement that they support traditional marriage.<\/p>\n

Hot Air reports the comment that started the controversy:<\/p>\n

The company invests in Christian growth and ministry through its WinShape<\/a> Foundation (WinShape.com). The name comes from the idea of shaping people to be winners. It began as a college scholarship and expanded to a foster care program, an international ministry, and a conference and retreat center modeled after the Billy Graham<\/a> Training Center at the Cove.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThat morphed into a marriage program in conjunction with national marriage ministries,\u201d Cathy added.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Some have opposed the company\u2019s support of the traditional family. \u201cWell, guilty as charged,\u201d said Cathy when asked about the company\u2019s position. \u201cWe are very much supportive of the family \u2014 the biblical definition of the family unit. \u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are very much committed to that,\u201d Cathy emphasized. \u201cWe intend to stay the course,\u201d he said. \u201cWe know that it might not be popular with everyone, but thank the Lord, we live in a country where we can share our values and operate on biblical principles.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chick-fil-A’s stand on marriage is not news to anyone familiar with the company. They are simply practicing their First Amendment rights<\/a>. Unfortunately, Boston<\/a> and Chicago are attempting to ban the restaurant from their cities because of that stand.<\/p>\n

Can’t we all just get along?<\/p>\n
