My fellow classmate, Joseph Shepherd, went out to search for a view opinions from Ga State students on if they believe what the Chick-fila co-founder said about gay marriage and if they will continue to eat there
Almost all of his interviewees agreed on the fact that the co-founder's opinion didn't affect them as a customer to the restaurant. "That was his own opinion, and I will continue to eat there, I love their chicken nuggets," one person said. Simply, the resteraunt's menu isn't going to change just because the owner let out a statement that may affect certain customers. Thus, the interviewees will remain eating there.
On the other hand, they did believe those that are gay, bi-sexual, or lesbian may have been affected by the co-founder's statements. However, they still believed that they would remain a customer, only having different opinions on the co-founder. Another interviewee says, "...being a gay person, a lesbian, being whoever you are, there is always going to be someone negative about your relationship, it could be your mom, your friend, whoever, but you're not going to reject them."
Chick-fila is a christian-based restaurant that heavily applies their religious beliefs within the company. For example, all Chick-fila restaurants are closed on Sundays, allowing the employees to attend church. Even though the company has Christian views, they do not discriminate against people, and they are an equal employment opportunity organization. With that being said, and interviewee explained, "...I used to work at Chick-fila, we had gay co-workers and managers, and as for discrimination, I didn't see or witness any..."
As Joseph wrapped up his research, he concluded, jokingly, that this was a "cluster cluck."
