Cheese-its did anybody here actually read the entire article???
CFA didn’t ‘cave’ it was just liberals in the media who want to give the impression that they did.
you knee jerkets should know better than that by now not to swallow liberal media’s lies wholesale
The quotes are from Chick-fil-A President and Chief Operating Officer Tim Tassopoulos, and you can find them in almost every business publication, including Forbes.
I read the article.
I also read CFA’s statement.
The company caved.
I’m done with CFA.
Exaclty this whole story was a hit job by the lavender mafia and thelr lackeys in the media, in an attempt to hurt CFA....
Don’t fall for it folks
bump
No it wasn’t. They caved. From their own statements and financial reports.
You should be the last person telling folks to not fall for something, I’ve read your consistently wrong election analyses and predictions here for years.
Chick-Fil-A should just ask the Boy Scouts how caving into the Left helped their organization. In the next 10 years the Boy Scouts will be History.
The author of this article is delusional if he/she/it believes nothing has changed. He SPECIFICALLY indicates Salvation Army WILL NOT be receiving a contribution.
Our local morning show news radio person covered this for over an hour today. He called Chick Filet, and was eventually sent to the marketing department.
He’s really pissed and announced he was no longer going to do business with them. It’s a pretty big deal because we have a fairly large Chick Filet presence here.
You will never appease the Left until you give in to them.
Starting next year, the Chick-fil-A Foundation plans to give $9M to
organizations like Junior Achievement USA to support education, Covenant
House International to fight homelessness and community food banks for its
hunger initiative in each city where the chain operates. The company intends
to dedicate $25K to a local food bank each time it opens a new location.

How did they cave?
When they are talking about 0.1 percent of its total donations, and they STILL give to other Catholic charities..?
Nothing says they have to give the same amount to the same charities every year...
Some of the lying liberal media compared the list of last year and this year and said “AHA! WE WON” and you fall for it?
Ok, so show me this actual quote from a cfa executive in the Forbes article:
Thank you for your reasonable response. I am amazed that a company can be critized for giving to one charity over another... these are all people doing good work! Who knows what factors went into these decisions. It is the liberal press that is assuming it has something to do with LGBT. The executives said nothing about that.
I know Winshape is a huge recipient and they are very pro traditional family.
Plus, the Cathy’s themselves are very pro-traditional family and their stand has not changed. On top of that, each store owner gives to charities of their own choosing. My local CFA gives to churches, mission groups and faith based charities around here.
The preview of giving for this year is on their website.

“There’s no question we know that, as we go into new markets, we need to be clear about who we are,” Chick-fil-A president and COO Tim Tassopoulos said in an interview with Bisnow. “There are lots of articles and newscasts about Chick-fil-A, and we thought we needed to be clear about our message.”
He's made it pretty clear as to their new direction.
Forbes copied that statement from Biznow, and no, his statement is not clear because it was posted without any context other than the journalist’s framework. I assume most conservatives understand by now how the liberal media works, seeing as how they do this to us time and time again trying to get us to eat our own.
Liberal media could quote any conservative saying, “I want to be clear in my message” and then frame the rest with their own innuendo. They do it everyday.
Here is message from CFA :
“Beginning in 2020 the Chick-fil-A Foundation will introduce a more focused giving approach, donating to a smaller number of organizations working exclusively in the areas of hunger, homelessness and education. We have also proactively disclosed our 2018 tax filing and a preview of 2019 gifts to date on chick-fil-afoundation.org. The intent of charitable giving from the Chick-fil-A Foundation is to nourish the potential in every child,” a Chick fil-A representative said in a statement emailed to CP Monday.
“Our goal is to donate to the most effective organizations in the areas of education, homelessness and hunger. No organization will be excluded from future consideration – faith-based or non-faith based.” the spokesperson said, noting “I also wanted to add that Chick-fil-A will not be opening on Sundays.”
If you want to learn more about it, there’s all kinds of info on the CFA foundation page.

@glaad
“If Chick-Fil-A is serious about their pledge to stop holding hands with divisive anti-LGBTQ activists, then further transparency is needed regarding their deep ties to organizations like Focus on the Family, which exist purely to harm LGBTQ people and families"
