<\/a>The Jim Henson Co., owner of the widely promoted Muppets characters, says it won\u2019t be working with Chick-fil-A any more<\/a> based on the statement of Christian faith from the restaurant chief that he does not endorse homosexual marriage.<\/p>\n\u201cThe Jim Henson Company has celebrated and embraced diversity and inclusiveness for over 50 years and we have notified Chick-Fil-A (sic) that we do not wish to partner with them on any future endeavors,\u201d said a Facebook statement from the company. \u201cLisa Henson, our CEO, is personally a strong supporter of gay marriage and has directed us to donate the payment we received from Chick-Fil-A (sic) to GLAAD [ a homosexual promotion organization].\u201d<\/p>\n

But one had to read only a few lines in the comments section of the Facebook posting for the crux of the issue became focused.<\/p>\n

<\/a>[Acts 5:29] Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\u201cI love the double standard that Jim Henson\u2019s company is expressing by not \u2026 accepting Christians\u2019 belief in the biblical definition of marriage,\u201d wrote Valorie Phillips.<\/p>\n Added Michele Sparacino, \u201cLisa Henson you support gay marriage, however Chick-fil-A did not ban giving your toys out. So why would you ban Chick-fil-A. I know for a fact they hire gay people. They just do not believe in same sex marriage\u2026 Is that not there (sic) freedom of speech.\u201d<\/p>\n
The dispute developed after Dan Cathy, the chief of Chick-fil-A, which was begun by his father, Truett Cathy and now is a $4 billion-plus a year business, recently gave an interview to The Baptist Press and said, \u201cWe are very much supportive of the family \u2013 the biblical definition of the family unit. We are a family-owned business, a family-led business, and we are married to our first wives. We give God thanks for that.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Henson company, which had been working with Chick-fil-A on a promotion of kids toys for kids meals, then erupted with what one outspoken traditional marriage supporter described as \u201cfundamental intolerance of Christians.\u201d<\/p>\n
That\u2019s from Peter LaBarbera, of Americans for Truth,<\/a> who advocates for traditional marriage and defends against the attacks on Christian beliefs that come from homosexual activists.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou cannot accuse Chick-fil-A of somehow going out of their way to bash homosexuals. It\u2019s a consistently Christian company,\u201d he said. Homosexual activists, however, he said, \u201ccannot abide\u201d the biblical proscription of homosexual behavior, and they have the same attitude toward those to following those teachings.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou have to look at the history of the homosexual movement,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s all about intimidating. The reason they fear Chick-fil-A is it\u2019s a popular, respected, growing operation.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThat Cathy actually has the temerity to hold his own beliefs as a Christian [they believe] he has committed some sort of crime,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Activist Zach Stafford at the Huffington Post stood with the Muppets, noting a \u201cvintage clip\u201d of the Muppets showed a \u201cpretty gay-friendly message from a cow. Interesting connection here is that cows are the mascots for Chick-fil-A.\u201d<\/p>\n\u201cIn the video we see Gladys the Cow singing about the diverse possibilities of what all she could of been (sic) instead of a cow, but no matter the possibilities she is still so proud to be a cow. \u2026 Though the video does not have any explicit links to the LGBT community, I think we can see some clear similarities between Gladys\u2019 song and the narratives we see around the LGBT community, coming out, and being proud of who you are,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n
However, on the Henson Facebook page, Bill Dyer said it isn\u2019t anything so complicated.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Chick-fil-A Classic Sandwich. Looks Good! Makes me hungry! Let’s go and eat a chicken sandwich to support traditional biblical marriage and God’s Agenda for Christians to replenish the earth, not live in the sin of fornication! [Genesis 1:28] And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\u201cChick-fil-A is doing what they believe to be the truth. Christians don\u2019t ban others for what they believe. It seems that it is okay to believe in anything but Jesus Christ and what Christians stand for. Chick-fil-A will be my choice because they have the guts to stand for what they believe,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n Henson\u2019s company is just one more such company dependent on America\u2019s families with children to adopt the politically correct support for homosexual behavior.<\/p>\n
WND recently reported on the fact that General Mills CEO Ken Powell threw the support of the $15 billion food giant behind \u201cgay\u201d activists urging Minnesotans to deny a constitutional amendment in the state defining marriage as between one man and one woman.<\/p>\n

In June of 2009 President Obama declared June to be LGBT Pride month, and organizations from the Pentagon to cookie confectioners have been making news headlines for supporting Obama\u2019s favorite cause ever since.<\/p>\n
Recently JC Penney came under fire from groups like One Million Moms because the department stores Father\u2019s Day catalog featured same-sex duos.<\/p>\n
Brian Brown, president of the National Organization for Marriage, said the General Mills position in Minnesota \u201cwill go down as one of the dumbest corporate PR stunts of all time.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/a>Chick-fil-A Desserts – doesn’t this look good? Why eat Ben & Jerry’s when they are sodomites? I like Chick-fil-A because they stand for Jesus Christ and Biblical marriage, not the abomination that Ben & Jerry’s and the Muppets represent.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n \u201cMarriage as the union of one man and one woman is profoundly in the common good, and it is especially important for children,\u201d Brown said. \u201cGeneral Mills makes billions marketing cereal to parents of young children. It has now effectively declared a war on marriage with its own customers when it tells the country that it is opposed to preserving traditional marriage, which is what the Minnesota Marriage Protection Amendment does.\u201d<\/p>\n
