Famed evangelist Billy Graham has come out in defense of Chick-fil-A as the fast food chain faces sustained attacks in the wake of its president’s public support for true marriage.
I want to express my support for my good friends Truett Cathy and his son Dan Cathy, and for their strong stand for the Christian faith,” said 94-year-old Graham in a statement Thursday. “I’ve known their family for many years and have watched them grow Chick-fil-A into one of the best businesses in America while never compromising their values. Chick-fil-A serves each of its customers with excellence, and treats everyone like a neighbor. It’s easy to see why Chick-fil-A has become so popular across America.”“Each generation faces different issues and challenges, but our standard must always be measured by God’s word. I appreciate the Cathy family’s public support for God’s definition of marriage,” he added.
... “As the son of a dairy farmer who milked many a cow, I plan to ‘Eat Mor Chikin’ and show my support by visiting Chick-fil-A next Wednesday,” he said.

Who doesn't love Billy Graham? My folks weren't very religious, but I remember them tuning in to his televised crusades. A true inspiration who sees the "issue" with Chick-fil-A for what it is: a baseless attack.
