Has Chick-a-fila turned their backs on God by apologizing for their position against same-sex marriage?

Also support your local Militia.

So for the upteenth time now, if the CEO has to appease the gay agenda by showing them the books so to speak to let them know they are no longer donating to anti-gay marriage organizations, you’re going to blame that on a liberal or progressive site or will you agree that this happened?

Got a CREDIBLE link for this? This is just another allegation you’re making in your anti Chick-Fil-A jihad!

I still don’t understand YOUR motivation for your jihad.

"The 990 forms were filed by the WinShape Foundation on November 15, 2012 and will be released to the public by the IRS in the near future.This past week, Shane Windmeyer, the executive director of Campus Pride, met with Chick-fil-A representatives in Atlanta to confirm the details of recent donations and to review the information on the 990 forms."

So are you saying this never happened? I have read this on numerous sites. Short of me contacting Dan Cathy himself, it seems like the skeptics here will not even accept this as something that truly happened.

Just you asking a ridiculous question?

Good Grief.

Maybe Chick-fil-A will have fagday on July the 4th.

Maybe Chick-fil-A will have stone a muslim wife on labor day.

Maybe

Chick-Fil-A continues to support Winshape correct?
According to Winshape foundation.

I believe Chick-Fil-A quit giving to the more controversial groups, but continue to give to organizations that support traditional marriage.

Just because they prefer to shift their donations to other traditional marriage organizations, does not mean that they caved...

A year after nearly doubling its anti-LGBT giving, Chick-fil-A’s WinShape Foundation apparently reversed course in 2012, eliminating nearly all its grantmaking. Its separate Chick-fil-A Foundation made about $120,000 in grant donations, including about $25,000 to the anti-LGBT Fellowship of Christian Athletes.

Between 2010 and 2011, Chick-fil-A’s corporate foundations increased their grants to anti-LGBT groups like the Marriage & Family Foundation and the National Christian Foundation, from $1.9 million to more than $3.6 million. Neither of these organizations received a penny in 2012, according to the foundations’ 2012 Form 990s, publicly available tax documents filed by non-profit organizations. The foundations’ overall spending was roughly even, meaning more of its efforts were focused on its own programs. But the drop from $3,623,938 to $25,390 in anti-LGBT donations represented a reduction of more than 99.2 percent.

In the summer of 2012, the company came under fire for its anti-LGBT giving and company president Dan Cathy’s comment that the company was “guilty as charged” of advocating a biblical view of the family. Amid the criticism, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R) and others organized a “Chick-fil-A” appreciation day.

But it appears that the company foundations scaled back anti-LGBT giving by simply scaling back all of its giving to outside non-profits. Their few donations included contributions to WinShape’s home in Brazil for needy children, scholarships for a Christian college in Georgia, and money for Habitat for Humanity and the United Negro College Fund.

Chick-Fil-A's Foundations Dramatically Reduce Anti LGBT Giving

Oh so now we move the goal posts. First I am being told that they have not changed their giving practices, but now you concede that they have? Also you mention “more controversial” groups. Is it just because they are anti-gay marriage? Is that what makes them controversial?

Blue Highway, Really? Really? You link to a leftist website such as Think Progress to try to convince ME of something. You couldn’t have done worse in trying to convince me of something if you linked to Satan.

You really need to “get out more” and not rely so much on leftist sites for your thinking.

By the way, I can almost taste that Chick-Fil-A sandwich I’ll be eating tomorrow morning.

Can I at least get an admission from you that their article is complete BS and it never happened? I am talking about the meeting with Dan Cathy and him revealing their list of charitable donations?

Check out Huckabee that is coming on right now. Chick-Fil-A is chickening out is the intro to that story...

Huckabee invited Dan Cathy to come on the program to refute these claims and he declined. So apparantly he is ok yuking it up with homosexuals, but with a Christian man that was the man responsible for the Chick-Fil-A Appreciation Day that earned them $43 million in one day which was double of their most productive day ever.

The spokesman for the Family Research Council (a credible right leaning organization) is also reaffirming the Chick-Fil-A stand down.

I don't have a problem with them "backing away from social issues."

Shut up and sing.

Shut up and make chicken sandwiches.

I haven’t avoided anything.

You are the person who would have complained about Jesus eating with the tax collector.

In fact the very quotations I cited are from the same article.

Because a writer speculates does NOT make it so. You have NO proof and keep quoting from articles about how Chik-fil-A is updating its menu to be more in tune with younger eaters.

Reading comprehension is helpful when you are stroking out over things that don’t exist
