On August 6th, Jesse Bering wrote an article on the beliefs of Chick-fil-A towards gays. This article mentions about Dan Cathy, who is the presider of Chick-fil-A, and his strong opinion on the traditional marriage. The gays began a protest and created the "same-sex kiss day" where all of the gays go to Chick-fil-A and kiss. Unfortunately, this is what the world has come to. Cathy even has a "charital endeavor" as stated by Bering. It is a place where they try to cutter anti-gay causes. However there is still freedom of speech and no matter how bad Cathy's charity may be (the things they do at the charity), he still has the right to do whatever he desires with his money. Cathy is trying to use his popular fast food restaurant to bring a christian world view to the people who do not know it. He is trying to show the difference between what he believes is right and what he believes is wrong. Twitter has been a huge area in which the people that agree with Cathy state their opinion. As Bering stated, many of the tweets use a variety of bad vocabulary and a lot of ignorance towards gays. There is even a day called Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day where many people from all over eat Chick-fil-A to show their support with Cathy's opinion.

Jesse Bering's purpose for doing this article is to mainly show the reader what this world has come to. Bering compares the two different groups, the gays and the ones that follow Cathy's lead. The most important part of this article is to show the reader everything that Cathy has been doing against gays. The author also used quotes by Cathy to show the reader exactly how he feels. Bering even said an important sentence that stood out which was "the problem is that he is being a real american in another sense, one that is not compliment to our nation." She ends the article by saying how she does not agree with the way many people, like Cathy, are trying to handle these kinds of situations.
