"The Jim Henson Co., owner of the widely promoted Muppets characters, says it won’t be working with Chick-fil-A any more based on the statement of Christian faith from the restaurant chief that he does not endorse homosexual marriage.
“The Jim Henson Company has celebrated and embraced diversity and inclusiveness for over 50 years and we have notified Chick-Fil-A (sic) that we do not wish to partner with them on any future endeavors,” said a Facebook statement from the company. “Lisa Henson, our CEO, is personally a strong supporter of gay marriage and has directed us to donate the payment we received from Chick-Fil-A (sic) to GLAAD [ a homosexual promotion organization].”
But one had to read only a few lines in the comments section of the Facebook posting for the crux of the issue became focused.
“I love the double standard that Jim Henson’s company is expressing by not … accepting Christians’ belief in the biblical definition of marriage,” wrote Valorie Phillips.
Added Michele Sparacino, “Lisa Henson you support gay marriage, however Chick-fil-A did not ban giving your toys out. So why would you ban Chick-fil-A. I know for a fact they hire gay people. They just do not believe in same sex marriage… Is that not there (sic) freedom of speech.”
The dispute developed after Dan Cathy, the chief of Chick-fil-A, which was begun by his father, Truett Cathy and now is a $4 billion-plus a year business, recently gave an interview to The Baptist Press and said, “We are very much supportive of the family – the biblical definition of the family unit. We are a family-owned business, a family-led business, and we are married to our first wives. We give God thanks for that.” World News Daily, 7/24/12
Diversity, my "you what what!" It is a power play by a very tiny minority in this country being pushed for by a "politically correct" crud cult. My business goes to Chick-Fil-A, not the muppets whose agenda is controlled by the CEO, one person who thinks Americans will believe the entire company she represents has the same feelings and objective that she has.
As long as the squeaky wheel gets greased, the longer we have to put up with this illogical and ridiculous philosophy.
Live the life you want, but don't force it on others,
the difference between the conservative and the liberal:
If a conservative doesn't want something, he doesn't use it.
If a liberal doesn't want something, everyone shouldn't use it.
NOW WHICH ONE DO YOU WANT
LEADING THIS COUNTRY??
