Donald Perry
Donald Augustus Perry, (1952 -2012) vice-president of corporate public relations for the Chick-fil-A company, died of a heart attack at the height of an aggressive campaign waged by the LGBT movement against the Chick-fil-A company. He may be regarded as a victim of homosexual bullying.

Early life
Born in Clyattville, in Lowndes County, Perry graduated from University of Georgia’s Henry W. Grady College of Journalism. He wanted to be a journalist, but took a job in public relations with General Electric after he graduated in the early ’70s. His job took him to Louisville, Ky., then to Fairfax, Va., and back to Louisville.
In 1972 Mr. Perry married the former Marilyn Baker, and the couple were happily married for forty years. They had three sons, Brandon, Jason, and Donald, and one grandson.
When Perry decided he wanted to return to Georgia he interviewed with Coke and Chick-fil-A, and chose Chick-fil-A which was based in Atlanta Georgia.
Personal Life and Beliefs
Perry was a devout Christian. His son Jason said, “Most of all he was a committed Christian man, secondly he loved his family and third would have to be Chick-fil-A.”
Many who came into contact with Mr. Perry over the years recall his generous nature and warm smile. Glen Jackson, co-founder of Jackson Spalding, a local PR firm, said Mr. Perry’s “love for others was so genuine. He was highly respected in our profession and will be deeply missed in our field.”
Susan Rosenberg, public relations director at UPS said, “Beyond Don’s skills as a PR strategist and consensus builder, I just want to flag his friendliness and general good cheer to focus a meeting’s attention with a gentle manner and humor.”
Campaign of LGBT extremists against Chick-fil-A
In 2012, the CEO of Chick-Fil-A, Don Cathy said in an interview that endorsed Christian family values and traditional marriage. Furious homosexuals all over America ranted and denounced Cathy and the Chick-fil-A company, and organized a boycott. Fanatics bombarded Cathy and all the executives of Chick-fil-A with hate-mail and death threats on the internet and Twitter. Green Party leader Roseanne Barr said on Twitter that anybody who ate at Chick-fil-A deserved to die.
The LGBT extremists even persuaded the Mayors of Boston, Chicago, San Francisco to announce that they would ban the franchise from their cities. This was surely unconstitutional but it heralded an ugly legal battle ahead. Don Perry was under terrible strain, the stress must have affected his health, and it is no exaggeration to say that he was being bullied to death.
Then the fatal heart attack struck. His death occurred early on the morning of 27th July 2012.
