ironically, several years ago Chick-fil-A chickened out, its CEO no longer gives money to pro-family groups and is even working with a gay campus organization.

Chick-Fil-A working with a gay campus organization?!

I'm sure you have a source for those accusations - especially that last one! Can't quite find it anywhere...

Here's my source: Not So Fast: Chick-fil-A Hasn't Ended All Questionable Giving

Excerpt:

But Windmeyer clarified in an interview with The Advocate that when he saw IRS tax forms last week, provided to him by Chick-fil-A officials, that several of the groups identified by Equality Matters are still indeed receiving donations.

Those groups include the Marriage and Family Foundation, National Christian Foundation and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.

The problem is your source is from 2013, that’s two years ago. Check out what Cathy said in 2014:
As the same-sex marriage debate rages, one person says he won’t be weighing in on the subject anymore: Dan Cathy, CEO and president of Chick-fil-A.
“Almost two years after he made headlines by throwing his support behind traditional marriage and later decried a pair of Supreme Court decisions that favored same-sex unions, Cathy hasn’t changed his mind. But he said Atlanta-based Chick-fil-A has no place in the culture wars and regrets making the company a symbol in the marriage debate.”

In other words, Cathy has surrendered, is not going to rock the boat and is just going to sell chicken. I guess he sees all those social conservatives who stuck up for him as losers.
