(Newser) – A top public relations executive at Chick-fil-A has died of a heart attack amid the company's high-profile fight against gay marriage, reports Georgia's WRBL News3. Donald Perry, who generally served as the company's spokesperson, died this morning. "Don was a member of our Chick-fil-A family for nearly 29 years," says a Chick-fil-A statement. "He was a well-respected and well-liked media executive in the Atlanta and University of Georgia communities, and we will all miss him." Click for more.

"FIGHT AGAINST GAY-MARRIAGE" ... what a bunch of Newser horse pucky.  Where did THEY pick a fight?  They said that they stand for traditional Christian values ... not AGAINST anything.  Typical John Johnson trash journalism.

Guess it was caused from all that greasy RepubliCON chicken.  Avoid Chick-fil-A, also avoid all RepubliCONS.
