Chill out. CFA did not ask for the fight. They did not ask folks to flash mob their restaurants. They cook and sell chicken.

Unless I am badly mistaken, their core values will remain solid.

Find something else to rant about.

“FU chic fil a.”

What the hell dude... exactly what did they agree to ?

I read:
Be nice to everyone and “refrain” from politics.

Big deal all companies do this... Chik-Fil-A made their point... the Alderman is s-t-u-p-i-d

In a letter addressed to Alderman Moreno and signed by Chick-fil-A’s Senior Director of Real Estate, it states, “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.” Winshape, a non-profit funded by Chick-fil-a, has donated millions of dollars to anti-LGBT groups, including some classified as hate groups, such as Focus on the Family and the National Organization for Marriage. In meetings the company executives clarified that they will no longer give to anti-gay organizations.

But WinShape didn’t release the same comment to BuzzFeed. In fact, they refused to say anything conclusive, and seemed to lack self-awareness about having an anti-gay stance:

“We have no agenda, policy or position against anyone. We have a 65-year history of providing hospitality for all people and, as a dedicated family business, serving and valuing everyone regardless of their beliefs or opinions,” he said in a general press statement emailed to BuzzFeed by another Chick-fil-A spokesman, Jerry Johnston, who said the company’s press statement is not new. “The genuine, historical intent of our WinShape Foundation and corporate giving has been to support youth, family and educational programs.”

Dude, you'd be wise to start analyzing news articles instead of buying them, as we say, hook-line-and-sinker.

Why on earth would you believe some Marxist Chicago Alderman's story? Lie down for a while and get over it.
