Chick-fil-A same-sex marriage controversy

American fast-food chain Chick-fil-A was the focus of controversy 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-family-operated WinShape Foundation, had donated millions of dollars to political organizations seen as hostile to LGBT causes by LGBT rights activists, who called for protests and boycotts of the chain, while counter-protestors rallied in support by eating at the restaurants.
