Why is Chick Fil A getting record sales after the controversy?

After publicly announcing that the COO supports a "traditional family unit", sparking controversy and protests around Chick Fil A restaurants across the nation, I'm a little confused as to why there would be a spike in sales. Because although Dan Cathy didn't openly say he's against gay marriage, obviously there was some level of offense taken by the gay community. Why would there be a spike in sales? Wouldn't their sales have decreased? Or am I missing something? Can someone please explain this?

    Cathy should have kept his religious opinion to himself for business purposes. Sales spiked because people who believe the same as he does decided they'd opted for his chicken instead of burgers or steaks for a few nights to show there support. In the long run Chick Fil A will probably loose some business. Nothing to worry about though.

  • Some people are making a public social statement in a nice way by eating there but Chick fil-A was a multi-billion dollar company before that and was already doing a lot right. I've noticed the hatred level toward people who agree with traditional marriage rise lately. The venomous anti-Christians are really getting choked up over chicken.

    The liberal media wanted to make Chick fil A look bad. Looks like their plan black fired.

    All anti-gay went to show their support. We don't care that the ones making iphones are trapped inside buildings worked to death. Now, when they jump from the tops of buildings; they have nets in between to catch them. They can't even commit suicide. Forget going after slavary; we eat chicken.

    Because normal people admire his standing up for what he believes in and are supporting him by going to CFA.
