Muppets boycott Chick-Fil-A in a show of support of gay marriage. You will not get Creature Shop Muppet toys in the Chick-Fil-A for children’s meal package any longer. The Chick-Fil-A company supported the “traditional family,” and “the biblical definition of the family unit.” A spokesperson for the Muppets confirmed on their official Facebook page.
The Jim Henson Company has celebrated and embraced diversity and inclusiveness for over fifty years and we have notified Chick-Fil-A that we do not wish to partner with them on any future endeavors.”
Did you ever notice Chick-Fil-A is closed on Sunday’s. This is to fulfill the founders Christian values and corporate purpose by keeping holy the Sabbath.
To glorify God by being a faithful steward of all that is entrusted to us. To have a positive influence on all who come in contact with Chick-fil-A.”
We intend to stay the course. We 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.”
Chick-Fil-A does have great chicken sandwiches.

Mike Huckabee Announces ‘Chick-Fil-A Appreciation Day’ in Response to ‘Intolerant Bigotry from the Left’
Link on the Facebook Page
I have been incensed at the vitriolic assaults on the Chick Fil-A
company because the CEO, Dan Cathy, made comments recently in which he affirmed his view that the Biblical view of marriage should be upheld. The Cathy family, let by Chick Fil-A founder Truett Cathy, are a wonderful Christian family who are committed to operating the company with Biblical principles and whose story is the true American success story. Starting at age 46 Truett Cathy built Chick Fil-A into a $4 billion a year enterprise with….

I praise this company for sticking to their Christian ideals. But using the muppets, a childs show, is disgraceful. I can see the Christian community coming to Chick-Fil-A’s aid. It is a shame that in this country you can’t stand on your ideals.
This is extreme, and so silly. They are a private co and can deem their own rights as they see fit. The Co is not part of a government entity.
I hope their bottom line is bigger and better than ever. They make a fantastic sandwich.
Chick-fil-A: Culture war in a chicken sandwich?
Chick-fil-A is closed on Sundays and opposes gay marriage. Chicago and Boston politicians speak out against Chick-fil-A restaurants in their cities. Christian conservatives call for a ‘Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day.’
Chick-fil-A, the fast-food chain known for putting faith ahead of profits by closing on Sundays, is standing firm in its opposition to gay marriage after touching off a furor earlier this month.
Gay rights groups have called for a boycott, the Jim Henson Co. pulled its Muppet toys from kids’ meals, and politicians in Boston and Chicago told the chain it is not welcome there.

A Chicago alderman vowed to block a Chick-fil-A proposed in his district, and Mayor Rahm Emanuel supported him, saying, “Chick-fil-A values are not Chicago values.” Boston Mayor Thomas Menino wrote in a letter to Cathy: “There is no place for discrimination on Boston’s Freedom Trail and no place for your company alongside it.”
As soon as the Chi town alderman, threatened to block a store in their district because of his beliefs, when way over the line. Could it be taken as a threat? I do believe that the attornerys that work for Chick-fil-A, should send them a letter. What values does Chi town have? Corruption, corruption and more corruption.
Roseanne Barr Blasts Chick-Fil-A, ‘Christian Liars’ On Twitter
Roseanne Barr is apologizing for a tweet she sent Wednesday attacking Chick-fil-A, as well as customers of the fast food chain.
“anyone who eats S%#@ Fil-A deserves to get the cancer that is sure to come from eating antibiotic filled tortured chickens 4Christ,” she tweeted, later adding, “off to grab a s%#@ fil-A sandwich on my way to worshipping Christ, supporting Aipac and war in Iran.”
Several Twitter users, including Jim Henson (@writesstuffla), responded to Barr.
“I lost two brothers to cancer, Roseanne. What a truly heinous thing to say,” he tweeted.

This is one reason she is no one to pay attention to. If she meant it to be serious, I pity her. If she meant it as a joke, this is why she doesn’t have a show.
I applaud the tweeters who called her out on this. Even if they didn’t agree with C-F-L.

I would love a Chick-fil-A close to me. In fact we are going into town tomorrow, I hope I find a Chick-fil-A. I applaud for Bloomberg coming out for this company. If the gays don’t want to eat Chick-fil-A, then don’t who cares. I agree with Chick-fil-A!
