Sarah Palin, Former Republic Governor of Alaska, has posed for a picture in a Chick-Fil-A restaurant, showing her support for the US chain that opposes gay equality rights.

The picture, which garnered 260,000 ‘likes’ on Facebook, shows Palin and her husband Todd holding a bag of Chick-Fil-A food in a Texas outlet, with a caption that reads – “Stopped by Chick-fil-A in The Woodlands to support a great business.”

The chain faced a negative backlash after Chief Operating Officer, Dan Cathy, admitted the chain was ‘guilty as charged’ in regards to opposing gay marriage rights.  Chick-Fil-A has donated millions to anti-gay organisations such as Focus on the Family.
