ATLANTA (CBS Atlanta/AP) — Chick-fil-A president Dan Cathy has waded into the gay marriage issue once again.
Following the Supreme Court rulings Wednesday striking down the Defense of Marriage Act and opening the door for same-sex marriages in California, Cathy took to Twitter to criticize the rulings.
"Sad day for our nation; founding fathers would be ashamed of our gen. to abandon wisdom of the ages re: cornerstone of strong societies," Cathy tweeted. It was later deleted from his account.
The fast food restaurant backed away from Cathy's comments. In a statement to The Wall Street Journal, Chick-fil-A said it was not focusing on the Supreme Court rulings.
"We believe in providing great-tasting food and genuine hospitality to everyone — so our focus is on running an exceptional restaurant company," a statement to the Journal read. "Therefore, we are leaving political decisions and discussions to others and focusing only on what we do best."
