Chick-Fil-A Crossing The Line?

National restaurant chain Chick-Fil-A is facing controversy among the gay and lesbian community again. This time for a new advertisement that says "Only a Fruitcake Wouldn't Love Our Party Trays!".

The store in Chamblee Georgia made the flyer to advertise it's holiday trays. Nico Stoerner, Chief writer for Fenuxe, a magazine for the LGBT community says Chick-fil-A should have learned from its missteps earlier this year. The company fired back, saying they've been using the same advertisement for 5 years.

You will remember the company's President Dan Cathy caused controversy when he took a stance on how he felt about same sex marriage. He was quoted back in July as saying:

"I think we are inviting God's judgment on our nation when we shake our fist at him and say, 'We know better than you as to what constitutes a marriage,'" He went on to say "I pray God's mercy on our generation that has such a prideful, arrogant attitude to think that we have the audacity to define what marriage is about."

Do you think Chick-fil-A crossed the line or do you side with the company that it's just a misunderstanding?
