THE US fast food chain, Chick-fil-A , has learned to its cost that a great many Americans have no stomach for its for its anti-gay bigotry.

According to this report, the Atlanta-based chain’s brand approval ratings have plummeted in the wake of Chick-fil-A President Dan Cathy’s homophobic remarks earlier this month.

The company is operated on “Christian principles”, and has spent millions supporting right-wing anti-gay marriage outfits.

The company’s overall consumer brand health among fast food eaters has dropped to its lowest levels since mid-August 2010 in the wake of the media firestorm.

Just before Cathy’s interview was published, Chick-fil-A’s Index score was 65, well above the Top National Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) Sector average score of 46. Just four days later, however, Chick-fil-A’s score had fallen to 47, while last week, the chain had a score of 39, compared to the Top National QSR Sector average score of 43.

Nonetheless, there are lunatics out there who fully support the company. One is Aaron Fruh, a pastor at Knollwood Church in Mobile, Alabama, who applauded C-f-A and claimed that the Great Flood was God’s response to same-sex marriage.

Yes, you read that right. THE Great Flood, the one with Noah and Mrs Noah plus critters – including dinosaurs – entering the Ark two-by-two  … and other such bollocks!

Fruh, on American Family Radio, challenged listeners to:

Find any society in human history that ever tried that experiment [of same-sex marriage] and lived to tell about it … they’ve all been destroyed.

Identifying a “society just prior to the flood of Noah” as the only one prior to the present to offer same-sex marriage – Greece – Fruh went on to note:

God knew that the people on the earth were going to destroy themselves through same-sex marriage, and so that’s why he brought the flood.

He added:

As Dan Cathy said, we’re shaking our fist in the face of God.
