Exercise 50

A Pennsylvania Chick-fil-A franchise, on its own, provided food for a local marriage seminar, "The Art of Marriage: Getting to the Heart of God's Design." A group opposed to gay and lesbian marriage sponsored the seminar. Once news of Chick-fil-A's sponsorship became public, protests and calls for boycotts followed. Chick-fil-A, a privately held company, is always closed on Sundays, has given millions to Christian causes, and includes the glorification of God among its corporate purposes.
a. In your view, is the operation of a privately held business on Christian principles a moral wrong Explain.
b. Would you consider it to be a moral wrong if Chick-fil-A actively opposed gay and lesbian marriage Explain.
c. As a business matter, how should Chick-Fil-A handle the objections to its franchise's support of the seminar
