Chick-Fil-A realized that bigotry was going to substantially hurt their long term profits.
Could be...but it appears that all of those people who showed up one day to express their bigotry didn't go back enough to make up for all of the business that they lost as a result. If it wasn't for their nasty food, I would have to go and patronize them myself now.
Looks like that one day event didn't help Chick-Fil-A as much as the long term effect hurt them
Chick-fil-A agrees to stop funding anti-gay groups, Chicago alderman says | The Lookout - Yahoo! News
Chick-fil-A, the fast food chain that sparked a firestorm earlier this year after its president made public comments against same sex marriage, has agreed to stop funding anti-gay groups, a Chicago alderman says.
Joe Moreno, the alderman whose opposition of a proposed Chick-fil-A on Chicago's north side helped fuel the controversy, told the Chicago Tribune the company has pledged to include a statement of respect for all sexual orientations in a memo to staffers and has promised that the WinShape Foundations, its not-for-profit arm, would no longer contribute money to groups that oppose gay marriage.

I'm not sure the whole thing wasn't contrived to generate the short term sales increase. It wouldn't be the first time Christians played the martyr to make a buck.
In other words, they'll wont speak up on how they really feel towards homosexuals.
Free speech is in the process of effectively being outlawed by Democrats. Organizing protests against those expressing views they don't like and apologizing to rioters and murders for a video that is critical of their politically-correct now religion.
Your assumed analysis of why the change is completely wrong. It was likely NOT a "profit" decision at all - plus this all has been extremely profitable to the company. But to some non-religious people I suppose they could conclude all of life is only about money, so I can understand your assumption.
They have indeed been the target of a lot of hate and religious intolerance. The media has even piled on with its taint of ostensible objectivity by constantly labeling those who would promote traditional marriage as "antigay."Chick-Fil-A realized that bigotry was going to substantially hurt their long term profits.
In this case...they saved about 3.2 million in donations.When in doubt, call everyone who disagrees with you a bigot.
Chick Fil A can do what they want with their money.

The free market at work.
Act like a dick and people will withhold their custom.
Thats how its supposed to work.
That whole thing was perhaps the greatest publicity stunt I've ever seen.
It was a publicity stunt called by Democrats to deal with Obama reversing himself on gay marriage. It was not Chik-a-filia that called the press conferences or for rallies/protests.
"Bigotry"?! How about removing that word and inserting 'belief". Contray to the left opinions are still legal in the U.S. You should feel very lucky to ;ive in a country where homosexauals are permitted to exist. Try marching for the cause in many other countries throughout the world and i guarantee you a quick trip to the gallows. Bless Chic-Fil-A And who gives a rat's rear what any trash ball from Chicago says.
