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.

Good for you. This is the correct response in my opinion.
The CEO has a right to express his first amendment rights to speak and to honor his religious beliefs, even if it might be a stupid thing to do just for his business interests.
I think attacking this man and calling him a bigot is actually a form of religious bigotry. He didn't say he hates gays; he said the bible doesn't permit gay marriage and he is a believer in that edict of his religion.
You can boycott his business if you like, but for governmental agencies to harm his business is wrong.
Personally I think they put out a fine product that is always tasty, and their waffle fries are awesome. I don't eat there often, but that's because I have so many better choices here in TV.
