While many customers visited Chick-fil-A in order to show their support for traditional marriage, the majority went to support freedom of speech.
“They stand up for great values, and we’re in a country where freedom should be respected,” Charlotte said. “So we’re exercising our freedom today and eating some great food.”
...Twitter was also flooded with support for Chick-fil-A and photos of crowded restaurants and drive throughs across the country.

◼ Rahm Emanuel, Chick-fil-A, and the easy slide into fascism
The past two weeks have brought to light a truly disturbing political demonstration — and it has nothing to do with presidential elections or generic congressional ballots. At least three mayors in some of America's largest cities, as well as plenty of other city officials, have publicly demanded political orthodoxy as a condition of doing business in their metropolises. Political correctness has transformed into a strange American version of fascism — over a chicken fillet sandwich and an opinion about marriage that even our Democratic president officially held as recently as two months ago.◼ Re: ‘Chick-fil-A, and the Easy Slide into Fascism’ - Ed Driscoll/PJM
