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. Doesn’t matter, they’re still called “homophobic”. Might as well have stuck with their principles.

From 2012: http://www.ocregister.com/articles/fil-366686-chick-family.html

A national show of support for Chick-fil-A on Wednesday has meant jammed parking lots and roadways near the eatery’s Orange County locations, with one store representative saying they’re receiving 10 times the normal lunchtime business.

The packed restaurants are part of a national effort to support the chain, which has faced heated protests online and at its restaurants from gay-marriage advocates for comments by Chick-fil-A Chief Operating Officer Dan Cathy supporting “the biblical definition of the family unit.”

It’s one franchise, not the company who is working with the campus group.

“Despite Chick-fil-A CEO Dan Cathy’s refusal to reconsider his religious-based opposition to marriage equality, there’s at least one franchise of his fast-food chain that’s committed to supporting LGBT patrons.”

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.
