Please Meet Shane Windmeyer and Dan Cathy.
Shane is co-founder and executive director of Campus Pride, a national advocacy group for gay college students.
Dan is none other than the infamous president and COO of Chick-fil-A that got so much press last year with its corporate gay bashing porgram.
Shane was Dan's guest at the Chick-fil-A Bowl New Year's Eve.
Wow.
Shane wrote an article for Huffpost Gay Voices that was published yesterday. The article can be found here.
The Cliffs Notes are that these two diabolically opposed people met and became friends. The Chick-fil-A dude isn't quite as bad as previously thought, Chick-fil-A stopped supporting the worst of the anti-gay programs and (I guess) we're all supposed to go eat chicken sandwiches again.
I'm encouraged by the article, but obviously skeptical. Rather than share my reservations, I just want to encourage everyone to read the article.
I think I'll leave it there for now.
