Religion and business should never be mixed just like how the government and church are two separate entities.

I'd say that business should stay as business. I am a Christian and I do have my own set of beliefs - but I'm not going to force other people to believe what I believe. That would make me a bad Christian.

Free speech is alright, but what's the point of making such a statement? What good such statement will make the business world? People should lead by example, not by words.

This is my comment on Small Business Trends Forum on this topic:

Dan Cathy has right to free speech and running the company as he wishes. That said, as a freethinker, I will vote with my wallet and not eat at Chick-Fil-A. If I am hungry for chicken, I can pick some other place, e.g., KFC!

For a sound take on the issue, watch this video (Chick-fil-A or Chick-fil-Gay? Mayors & Muppets Threaten Chicken Chain Over Gay Marriage).
