Unless you're been living under a rock the past few days you had to have head about Chick-fil-A's recent stance on gay-rights.
Chick-fil-A president Dan Cathy said their company was "guilty as charged" in support of a traditional family unit.
"The Chick-fil-A culture and service tradition in our restaurants is to treat every person with honor, dignity and respect — regardless of their belief, race, creed, sexual orientation or gender," according to the statement.
"Going forward, our intent is to leave the policy debate over same-sex marriage to the government and political arena," it said.
"We are a family-owned business, a family-led business, and we are married to our first wives. We give God thanks for that," Cathy told the Baptist Press, the news agency of the Southern Baptist Convention.
Anyone remember the Dixie Chicks boycott in 2003 after their comments about President Bush and the was in Iraq?
During the introduction to their song "Travelin' Soldier", Natalie Maines, who along with Robison and Maguire was also a native of Texas, said: "Just so you know, we're on the good side with y'all. We do not want this war, this violence, and we're ashamed that the President of the United States is from Texas."
