dan cathy is the CEO chick-fil-a back in 2012 he made headlines after he endorse
traditional marriage and was very critical of same-sex marriage
so that led to a number a boycott toward chick-fil-a
nd difficult time dealing with that well he has now decided that he is going to
backpedal just
little bit on his statements he was recently speaking to
washington journal constitution and he said the following:
every leader go through different phases a maturity growth and development
and it helps by admitting the mistakes that you make
you learn from those mistakes if not you're just 24
I'm thankful that I live through it and I learned a lot from it
so what's pretty good you like issue double-sided
right I did like that go I like that hope it continues
he says that consumers want to do business with brands
that they can interface with and that they can relate with
and it's probably very wise from our standpoint to make sure we present our
brand in a compelling way
but the consumer can relate to so that enough itself seems like it's okay
right but he elaborates later on in the interview that yeah
really changed my mind on gay marriage I'm still against it but
I just to shut my mouth because I want to make sure that I appeal to everyone
including the gay community I want their money
but I don't want it give them any rights who want to give them right
well that's interesting at me his I see generally like the courts I like that he
admitted that it was a mistake
I like that as the CEO you realize well that was dumb
I was you know going to guess the significant percentage of the population
who then is not gonna buy my products
do we need him to change his stance on gay rights
like should we lift the ban or should we not whole
drop it oo damn no the court will first hear from justice Chris Perry
ok thank you well I say this as a way of trying to
cover what he had said previously so when you do an analysis %uh but you
realize that he hasn't changed his views
and honestly I don't wanna eat it as an establishment that has a CEO that hate
gay people
or doesn't believe in giving gay people the same rights as heterosexuals right
so but when he said in that statement was look I wanna lose money
so as a result I'm just not going to share my political views regarding
about people they are now to be fair he also said that he had come in on the
same quarter others feel very different from that
and I respect their opinion him now I get what you're saying
just as his band you say he also respects the dollar bills that the S
and missus that was spent I wouldn't say no longer spending I
I would like to think of myself as a classy lady but as I read the article
I couldn't help but want to do %uh third jerk off Cheshire
all really so and so not only doing and I'm just gonna say that I wish I could
do it
you're like oh so you're not buying it out alive scare me I
you look at me to mistake anything I did make a mistake because
you know my views were wrong I made a mistake because I was to open and honest
about what I really believe
well that's also the case though that probably keep seeing every percentage of
CEOs with the same thing he does
yeah they just keep their mouth shut we're not banning them I bring it to
Chief Justice good
I'm with an alibi damn number
particular reason I could anyway so you might be forgiven just don't go too far
yeah well okay I'm loaded
count someone that is dictum that is not pertinent to the case
okay I'll but nonetheless you vote against a collection for the band
Jerry Jones a min ago address the court yeah I'm still has a thing as
you know he came on realize we did wrong we'll used to the let us know
yeah seriously I also you never
can we ever on band members have to come and say okay your ride
I people know is that this is a satellite map that the criminal case
but actually the same way you know after Mike they go to jail for the dogfighting
so therefore he had to community service here though he's also a dog lover he
works with the
with the with rescue centers and helping out
rescue dogs and shelter them but the blog three legs is
nothing to help it all the stuff we love them out you have to do a lotta work
towards it is clear that you
slighted alright in RP to think that not I looking to give away
so I is going to go on out some gable
by now so I meant what I gotta was hunger right not you know it would be
enough for me if he came out and said you know what I think about my past
views on same-sex marriage and I realized I was wrong
I was wrong because it's not a lifestyle choice it's something you're born with
this is really a civil rights issue
they could be said those things are below hell yeah bring on those fried
chicken sandwiches I can't fucking wait
yeah
and as a classy lady ok fishermen I okay I'm actually Nevada guess you guys
um I I think he say look when I made a mistake
and I shoulda said because you know people have different opinions that it's
not my place to say my opinion on this
but I think rich I kinda respected injuries has been I obviously be manly
disagree with his opinion
I wish she would change because I think the wrong one but he's not backing down
from
what he believed but let's just say like I should have said it will
let me just %uh change your perception on the in one way so let's say you
didn't have to do with same-sex marriage let's say in that interview he said
yeah I don't like black people I want to give them the same rights as me
right many came out like two years later and said
yeah I still don't like black people but I really wish I had said that because I
lost some money in the process
God DNA this is chris bury in that such a good point
Boone night get home every time we get into this issue
I'm start because I think they're totally and utterly wrong
and a constitutionally morally et cetera
but at the same time weird then saying a certain percentage to come
count country 30-40 percent of the country
you're not allowed to have the opinion that you have based on your religion
now I think your religion is totally wrong I don't think that your religion
even emphasizes that I be your interpretation of what is wrong
the every part of it is wrong but that's ok forty percent the country thing so
we're gonna be an all over them
we're gonna you know and I just couldn't be any
is not necessarily the productive way to go when the guys already said he's
admitted
there was a mistake to say and let me clarify one thing I'm not in favor
banning anything I'm not saying ban chick-fil-a I'm just saying that I get
to vote with my dollars and I don't wanna buy a fried chicken sandwich from
chick-fil-a
unless the CEO admits that his views on same-sex marriage
and the gay community in general absolutely wrong I'm
you push me to an abstention 1k alright I know I know
I know it's not a very strong really but here's what's going to happen its
three boats to continue the ban one abstention are but nonetheless
I respect the ruling the T what the Supreme Court
so I will maintain the ban because you guys voted in favor
gonna make it K
most open minded man in america here look you gotta respect the core
day the court rules in a certain direction it is what it is the law of
the land
