It is the right of the Chik-Fil-A CEO to state his beliefs about gay marriage publically or privately. He should have thought it through a bit more as he should have known it would cause protests from some groups - which is their Constitutional right, also.

Basically, I do not care one way or the other about what he said or what protests are held pro or con the issue at Chik-Fil-A. I have never eaten one of their sandwiches just by choice and not by protest.
