Through the brown eye of the sodomite.

One opened two weeks ago 1/2 mile from home. I’ve never had their breakfast chicken biscuit before. It was phenomenal.

You missed the part where Dan Cathy agreed not to take a stance on marriage as he did before, as far as it involved the Company. Neither will CFA any longer donate to family causes. That was a HUGE concession to the sodomites. And they ran with it.

You might want to double check your source on that. A Chicago alderman claimed he had wrung such a concession from Chick-fil-A, but that was specifically refuted by Dan Cathy as quoted by ABCNews on September 22, 2012:
"Chick-fil-A made no such concessions, and we remain true to who we are and who we have been,” Cathy said in the statement. “There continues to be erroneous implications in the media that Chick-fil-A changed our practices and priorities in order to obtain permission for a new restaurant in Chicago. That is incorrect.”

This change was much more recent than the source you reference, try THIS YEAR, 2014:

“All of us become more wise as time goes by,” he told USA Today. “We sincerely care about all people. … I’m going to leave it to politicians and others to discuss social issues.”

This happened last March. Also announced was a cessation of company donations to family-oriented organizations which support real marriage.

Yes, this was indeed a capitulation.

Chick-fil-A as a company no longer makes direct donations, but its five (now four) shareholders most certainly do are among America’s largest donors to pro-family and other Christian organizations and causes. In the few hours since you first sniped at Dan Cathy earlier in this thread, the Cathy family gave away more than you and I both earn in a year. In fact, most of the Cathys’ staggering benevolence is very private (as it should be, biblically speaking), and is known only to those who live near them. I guess that’s not good enough for you, but it is for me.

You fail to acknowledge that the company changed its policy of giving in response to the screeches of the Gaystapo. Is this true or not?
