You haven't lived until you've stuffed your face with Chick-fil-A in front of purple haired left-wingers. You can see the anger (more than usual) in their face.

Don't you have to go outside to do either of those things?

We can call them homophobic then if they prefer?

Do they openly donate to pro gay stuff or did they simply stop donating to anti gay stuff?

do you have to pay pro gay to not be anti gay?

After paying anti-gay, yes.

an equal amount of money donated to a pro-gay organization would definitely even the scales...

Nah. Won't have someone go against their morals to satisfy a mob. Simply just don't eat there.

p twisted version of morals

To you and many people, sure. I'm sure religious people feel the same about secular views.

Besides that, fuck a mob of people wanting me to be something I'm not. Honestly, I wouldn't make a good company lead, as I'm stubborn and would likely double down.

Like that time when I spilled a little tiny drip of ravioli on my pristine white shirt. Instead of calmly getting up and changing my shirt, I grabbed the whole plate and smeared the entire fuckin' thing all over me. Was like "Yeah! Fuck yeah! EAT IT! LOVE. IT!". I doubled down hard on that shit. Taught that plate a lesson! lol

It's a character flaw, I know

It's just triggering their senses is all. They are wanting that deliciousness in their belly, and they are mad that you haven't offered them a bite yet.

They will always be known for being anti-gay

Chick fil a didn't stop making donations to anti-gay groups. Here is their initial statement saying they would stop, and then a follow up statement that backtracked:



https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/chick-fil-a-gay-marriage/

Here is evidence of Chick Fil A's continued donations to homophobic groups:
https://thinkprogress.org/chick-fil-a-still-anti-gay-970f079bf85/

It has been nearly five years since Cathy, facing national backlash, vowed to stay out of the debate and focus on chicken. At that time, the company launched a very small charm offensive, issuing a statement that the company will treat every person with honor, dignity and respect-regardless of their beliefs, race, creed, sexual orientation and gender. (Chick-fil-A did not back this up with any LGBTQ-inclusive non-discrimination policy. )

But has anything changed? It sure doesnt look that way. While the companys non-profit arms scaled back support for some of the groups that actively push an anti-gay agenda, the Chick-fil-A Foundations most recent IRS filings show it gave hundreds of thousands of dollars to anti-LGBTQ organizations in 2015. Though its websites FAQ claims the foundation is focused on helping every child become all they were created to be, its donations went to groups that do not believe this includes LGBTQ youth.

For example, the Chick-fil-A Foundation gave more than $1 million in 2015 (nearly one-sixth of its total grants) to the the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. The religious organization, which seeks to utilize athletes and coaches to spread Christian teachings, imparts a strongly anti-LGBTQ message. Staff and volunteers with the organization have been required to adhere to a strict sexual purity policy, prohibiting any homosexual acts, even for married couples. The group takes the view that, The Bible is clear in teaching on sexual sin including sex outside of marriage and homosexual acts. Neither heterosexual sex outside of marriage nor any homosexual act constitute an alternative lifestyle acceptable to God.

The foundation also gave more than $200,000 to the Paul Anderson Youth Home, a Georgia-based transformative organization that operates a Christian residential home for troubled youth. Focusing on boys, their teachings include the idea that the sexual, physical, and mental abuse of children, mostly in the alleged safety of their own homes has produced all kinds of evil throughout the culture to include the explosion of homosexuality in the last century. The myth that people are LGBTQ due to abuse is a claim frequently made by anti-LGBTQ organizations to promote harmful ex-gay therapy.

Additionally, the Chick-fil-A Foundation gave at least $130,000 to the Salvation Army. The religious organization has a long history of anti-LGBTQ housing discrimination, opposition to same-sex marriage equality, and supporting exemptions from non-discrimination ordinances. One page on its website, entitled The Salvation Army and the LGBT Community, boasts that the group adheres to all relevant employment laws, providing domestic partner benefits accordingly. Given that only a minority of states explicitly bar anti-LGBTQ discrimination, thats a low bar.

The Human Rights Campaigns most recent scorecard rates Chick-fil-A a 0 on LGBTQ-inclusive policies (or lack thereof). With its continued foundation giving to those who preach anti-LGBTQ values at least $1.4 million in 2015 alone it does not appear that the group has yet lived up to its promise to focus on poultry.

So basically, Chick Fil A, maybe I'll stop calling you anti-gay when you stop being anti-gay :|

If you eat their chicken you are anti-gay. It's feeding off suffering.

Through the WinShape Foundation, started by company founders Truett and Jeannette Cathy, Chick-fil-A donates to several Christian organizations, including The Marriage & Family Legacy Fund, The Fellowship of Christian Athletes and the National Christian Foundation. According to its statement, Chick-fil-A has given the groups $1,714,199. None of the organizations the company supports has an anti-gay agenda, although as Christian groups, they do uphold and support heterosexual marriage, Donald A. Perry, the companys vice president of corporate public relations, said in his statement.

I mean if making a donation to FCA is considered donating to an anti gay group, that's pretty misleading. As I said before, heterosexual marriage is really nothing that ever came up in meetings, it was mostly just people who played sports in HS that got together to hang out and shoot the shit after school. People who weren't even Christian like me went all the time. It's pretty cute that people feel so angry about this lol

Gorging on fried chicken is worse for your health.

Seems a bit much. How many fellow Christian organizations can they donate to that doesn't have any anti LGBTQ stuff?

They're Christian, they're gonna donate to fellow Christian organizations.

Seriously, just don't eat there if it bugs you that much.

Chick-Fil-A's mission to stay true to scripture is admirable.

This topic isn't about eating there. Chick fil a is whining they're correctly called out on their bullshit.

Another smear campaign against chick fil a. They donate to Christian groups, who often are not pro LGBT.

Theyve done many, many good deeds and have a very successful fast food chain where every restaurant is clean and the service is great. They also pay more than any other fast food place and help pay for employees to go to college.

But yeah fuck them for donating to Christian groups. Bunch of fucking homophobes.

Lets add the Bible to the banned book list too because it doesnt support gay marriage.

Good one.

Its astonishing you think that a strictly Christian franchise donating to Christian groups is bullshit and that I would be crying over it.

If you were a bit brighter, youd realize the take away message from my post is essentially Christian company doesnt support gays, who fucking cares.

holy shit, look at all these other celebrities that are anti LGBTQ

Chris Rock?! Jesus Christ.

To be fair they are not actively anti-gay. As far as I know the salvation army doesn't actually work toward harming gays or say trying to cure them. The worst they do is not give support to them. Which is bad yeah but. could be much much worse.

It's Kansas, so maybe?
(Seriously, no. Not at all)

Why does everything have to be political and hurt feelings these days? If I want a tasty breakfast burrito or chicken sandwich why should there be guilt attached to it?
Their food is tasty, their service is great. They apparently treat their employees well.

I know there was a big thing a while back but what have they done? Donate to religious groups? They aren't open Sundays due to religious beliefs, I guess, so donating to religious causes seems not out of expected. Do they discriminate against people or what? Honest question, not trolling
