In 2005, top leaders from Chick-Fil-A, including Don Cathy, launched the Marriage and Family Legacy Fund, which later change its name to the Marriage & Family Foundation. In that 2014 post, Chick-fil-A was described as having ceased donating to anti-LGBTQ organizations: The longer of the two (the 2014 blog post) made no mention of a group called the “National Christian Organization,” and “Chick-fil-A” only came up in separate contexts unrelated to Uganda. One was a long blog post, the other a 2012 Business Insider article. It really just goes to show how the American right-wing is nothing but a hollow mask of bigotry over the fave of plutocratic greed, giving their followers nothing substantial to cling to except bitterness and spite.The original poster’s two links were dated 20 respectively, but neither conclusively indicated what the tweet said they did.
It is the height of irony for the same folks who throw puffy tantrums about how movies are too political and athletes should just “stick to sports” are suddenly filling their proverbial diapers about how a fried chicken restaurant is no longer deciding to make political statements with their charitable donations. Phone convo just now with my best friend:įriend: Oh not much, just finished eating No way, no how.ĭoes #ChickFilA understand it's now saying the is a hate group by kowtowing? Does the management realize this? Did they not see the surge in sales as they held their ground against hate? I’m not going back to that sad, dry, pathetic Burger King chicken sandwich. was actually cool because it stood up to the progressive mind virus which is cancel culture. Other right-wing grievance preachers like former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee, Ben Shapiro, Matt Walsh, and Dave Rubin took to Twitter to complain about how the multimillion-dollar restaurant had decided to stop alienating potential customers with their charitable donations to anti-gay groups. “Chick-fil-A’s shameful capitulation in the culture war” cried Kaylee McGhee at the Washington Examiner. Protest efforts by LGBT activists led to the Chick-Fil-A’s sandwich becoming a culture war meme for the right-wing in their ceaseless efforts to trigger the libs, but now it’s the chuds who are melting down and crying crocodile tears over the business decisions that their favorite snack seller has made.Īdd your name to tell Congress to investigate Pence for his role in Trump’s Ukraine corruption. The FCA’s Statement of Faith declares “neither heterosexual sex outside of marriage nor any homosexual act constitutes an alternative lifestyle acceptable to God” while the Salvation Army has supported legislation which would allow it to deny employment and federally-funded services to LGBT Americans and used their website to refer LGBTQ individuals to pseudoscientific and deeply traumatizing conversion therapy groups. In a surprise turnaround, the controversial fried chicken chain and conservative darling Chick-Fil-A has announced that they will no longer be contributing money to groups with strong anti-LGBT leanings, specifically singling out the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and the Salvation Army.
