The latest Chic-fil-A controversy is beginning to take on the nature of a frat house food fight, according to some commentators on both sides of the issue, and calls for restraint have begun. Here’s what’s gone on in just the past few days:<\/p>\n

\u2022 In a July 2 story published by Biblical Recorder and later reposted by Baptist Press, Chick-fil-A CEO Dan Cathy asserts his support for traditional marriage by saying the company was “guilty as charged” when asked about the opposition his company was facing for supporting traditional marriage.
\n\u2022 Actor Ed Helms and leading gay rights activists express outrage over Cathy’s comment and suggest yet another boycott of the company’s products.
\n\u2022 Last Friday Jim Henson and his company, saying their company embraces “diversity and Inclusiveness,” announced they would no longer partner with Chick-fil-A.
\n\u2022 The National Organization for Marriage, along with former Gov. Mike Huckabee, try to rally pro-family supporters by encouraging them to eat at Chick-fil-A on Wednesday, Aug. 1.
\n\u2022 And finally, elected officials in Boston and Chicago have vowed to block Chick-fil-A from building additional restaurants in their cities.<\/p>\n

Needless to say, the issue is not only defined by culture but has drifted into the political spectrum with calls of action coming from both sides of the aisle.<\/p>\n

Huckabee wrote on his website, “No one is being asked to make signs, speeches or openly demonstrate. The goal is simple: Let’s affirm a business that operates on Christian principles and whose executives are willing to take a stand for the godly values we espouse by simply showing up and eating at Chick-fil-A on Wednesday, August 1.”<\/p>\n
