Politicians flock to Chick-fil-A

Chick-fil-A supporters ate at the chicken chain's restaurants on Aug. 1, 2012, for "Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day" as the company's president continues to be criticized for taking a public position against same-sex marriage. Chick-fil-A president Dan Cathy told the Baptist Press in July 2012, that his company was "guilty as charged" for backing "the biblical definition of a family." Chick-fil-A has since said they'll "leave the policy debate over same-sex marriage to the government and political arena." Still, Chick-fil-A's charitable arm has a history of donating to groups that oppose same-sex marriage. Gay rights groups and others answered with calls for boycotts. Opponents of Cathy's stance have planned "Kiss Mor Chiks" for Aug. 3, asking people of the same sex to show up at Chick-fil-A locations and kiss each other. In this photo posted to Twitter on Aug. 1, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is seen in a Chick-fil-A restaurant with her husband.
