Damn its been a few years but they are still in the news because the perverts and their pervert loving friends(democrats) are still pissed off about it. Here's a little clip from Wikipedia about the original "controversy"
The
Chick-fil-A same-sex marriage controversy was focused on the American
fast food restaurant Chick-fil-A following a series of public comments made in June 2012 by
chief operating officer Dan T. Cathy opposing
same-sex marriage.
This followed reports that Chick-fil-A's charitable endeavor, the
S. Truett Cathy-operated
WinShape Foundation, had donated millions of dollars to political organizations seen by
LGBT activists as hostile to
LGBT rights. Activists called for protests and
boycotts, while supporters of the restaurant chain and opponents of same-sex marriage ate there in support of the restaurant. National political figures both for and against the actions spoke out and some business partners severed ties with the chain.
The outcome of the controversy was mixed, as Chick-fil-A's sales rose 12 percent, to $4.6 billion, in the period immediately following the controversy. However, Chick-fil-A released a statement in July 2012 stating, "Going forward, our intent is to leave the policy debate over same-sex marriage to the government and political arena."

I don't go there often because they are expensive but I have two of them within 6 miles of the house and they're always packed to the gills.
