Cathy told WXIA-TV in an interview published Wednesday that families are important to "those of us who are concerned about being able to hang on to our heritage."
He added "we support Biblical families, and they've always been a part of that."
Cathy made the comments over the weekend at an event at his family's Georgia ranch.

His father, S. Truett Cathy, started the Atlanta-based company in 1967.
