NBC’s “Today” co-anchor Craig Melvin pressed Chick-fil-A CEO Andrew Cathy Wednesday about the fast-food chain’s position on LGBTQ rights, repeatedly questioning the company’s Christian beliefs and past opposition to same-sex marriage during a segment highlighting its history and business success.

When Melvin asked for Chick-fil-A’s official position on equal rights, Cathy emphasized the company’s commitment to serving customers rather than directly addressing its position on LGBTQ issues.
