Chick-fil-A not only survived attacks by gay activists, they’re now America’s top fast food restaurant, which proves that when Christians band together and fight back, they win!
CNN Money is reporting on that the newly released American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) Restaurant Report 2015 lists Chick-fil-A in the number one slot for customer satisfaction.
“It is laser focused on a particular product,” said Forrest Morgeson, director of research at ACSI. “It focuses on one thing and does it exceptionally well … and that is chicken sandwiches.”
This is Chick-fil-A’s debut on the list and its score is the highest ever achieved in the category.
Maybe one of the reasons fans like it so much is that they admire the courage of Chick-fil-A CEO Dan Cathy who was skewered by gay activists for telling a newspaper interviewer in 2012 that he was “supportive of the … biblical definition of the family unit . . .”
The LGBT community, aided by their pals in the media, responded with the usual apoplectic hysterics as if belief in traditional marriage – which is shared by a majority of Americans, including those who also support same-sex marriage – is akin to endorsing the Holocaust.

They tried to bully Cathy out of business with boycotts, Facebook slurs and Twitter rants, but it didn’t work. Christians fought back and came to Cathy’s defense by rushing to Chick-fil-A’s across America to give the courageous Christian businessman a banner sales month.
In the end, the LGBT community and the media were reminded that the gay population barely cracks the two percent mark in the U.S. and is easily outnumbered when mainstream America – which is largely Christian – decide to unite and fight back against this insufferable bullying campaign.
The same thing happened a year later when the Urban League of Greater Atlanta, a nonprofit civil rights organization, awarded Cathy with the Community Empowerment Award at its Equal Opportunity Day Dinner.
“This award is a slap in the face to the hard-working LGBT [lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender]people who are struggling without employment protections, trying to secure the freedom to marry, and earn the basic respect of people like Mr. Cathy,” said Ross Murray, director of news at LGBT rights advocacy group GLAAD. “Based on his previous comments, Mr. Cathy doesn’t understand equality for all.”
No, Mr. Murray, you don’t understand equality for all, which is why the Urban League’s response was most appropriate:
“Please be assured that the Urban League of Greater Atlanta supports and works for equal rights for all people, regardless of age, gender, sexual orientation, religion, or physical ability.”
