California Chick-fil-A gives free meals to gay marriage supporters at rally | Fox News: "Corey Braun, the owner and operator of a franchise in Rancho Cucamonga, Calif., says he felt the gathering was an opportunity to show hospitality to members of his community, regardless of their beliefs.
"I wanted to show that Chick-fil-A doesn't discriminate against anybody," Braun told the Los Angeles Daily News. "We serve everyone. We're happy to serve the community and this was an opportunity to have this group come in and show them our hospitality regardless of their beliefs, sexual orientation, or whatever.""
Eden Anderson, who is a board member for a local LGBT rights group, called Braun's actions "surreal."
"What I experienced with the community, is when people are open and apologetic and accepting, it's touching to us," Anderson told the Los Angeles Daily News. "It feels like acceptance and we just want to be accepted and engaged in society, so when it's confirmed, I think the overall reaction was, yes, certainly that Chick-fil-A in Rancho Cucamonga is welcoming to us." "
Being kind to even your opponents is very powerful!
