“The WinShape Foundations is now taking a much closer look at the organizations it considers helping, and in that process will remain true to its stated philosophy of not supporting organizations with political agendas...”

Touche, Dan Cathy. Every intelligent person knows that marriage isn't a "political agenda."

What the sodomites are angry about are the "marriage seminars" that WinShape sponsors. Now, they'll think that WinShape doesn't sponsor these anymore.

What loons.

And above it all, remember that Romney, when asked where he stood on Chick-fil-A’s statement supporting marriage, said, “That not part of my campaign.”

Way to go, Mittens.

Bottom line, their statement is too ambiguous. We should ask to see what groups their organization is donating to now. Are they the same groups that the homosexual lobby was complaining about or have those been dropped from the list?

"It is a disgrace tha one small group can speak out and quash the Free Speech Rights of a Pro Family company."

They didn't quash anything. Chick Fil-A chose to cave to sodomites, and that's the disgrace.

Conrado, you MAY be correct but what galls me is that they didn't just say, “Stick it Chicago. We'll run our business any way we want to and give our $$ to any group we want to.” Just tell it like it is without ducking and dodging.

Hope I don't have to give up their chocolate chip cookies.

And they have been so sneaky about it none of the news channels are even covering it, not even Fox News. Maybe I’ll write Huckabee and asked him did they cave. I’ll tell him if they did, all Christians should boycott Chick Fil-A, because they have made a mockery not only out of his support but the support that thousands and thousands gave them a month ago.

I bet the executives, including Kathy Truett, will step up their donations.

“Will No Longer Fund Trad Marriage” huh? Why should marriage need funding?

Due to posting constraints, could not post the entire title which read "Will no longer fund Traditional Marriage Groups. Apologies for any confusion.

The people screaming LOON and worse at fellow Freepers on this thread are, I suspect, the very same people who contend that Mitt Romney is winning this election by a landslide.

If even Freepers fall victim to media disinformation so easily, there’s no hope left other than for Jesus pulling the plug soon.

They were clear that they are pro-family.

Evil people are spinning their response to mean that they are no longer anti-gay.

You’re free to believe what you want, of course. But Chick-fil-A has remained true to their convictions, and will continue to support pro-family, pro-marriage causes.

Update: Everyone who trashed Chick-fil-A in this thread is profoundly ignorant.

May you learn from your hasty judgments. Please. We FReepers need to be wiser than the gay/Chicago/MSM smear campaigners.

It’s a business. It’s called $$$.

Reality sucks.

Alternatively you wont see one place block them FOR this decision.

Looks like you were right. I was “gullible”. I didn’t even bother to see who wrote the piece of garbage claiming CFA stopped donations. It wouldn’t have surprised me in the least if CFA had backed down. Refreshing that they didn’t.

Thanks, Albie.

I sincerely mean no disrespect toward you personally. We’re on the same side, concerned about our nation and its people. So thank you for your gracious reply to my frantic comments.

Yes, I’m aware of that. I thought it was pretty obvious.
