As Chick-fil-A expands globally and into more liberal parts of the U.S., the chicken chain plans to change which charities it donates to after years of bad press and protests from the LGBT community.
Beginning next year, Chick-fil-A will move away from its current philanthropic structure, Bisnow has learned. After donating to more than 300 charitable organizations this year, the Atlanta-based fast-food chain will instead focus on three initiatives with one accompanying charity each: education, homelessness and hunger.
"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 Chief Operating Officer 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."
The new initiative will no longer include donating to organizations like the Salvation Army, the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and the Paul Anderson Youth Home, Chick-fil-A says, all of which sparked criticism in the past from the LGBT community due to the organizations’ stances on homosexuality.

Not true. Prove it.
Different times of the day. Different Freepers. I don’t mind.
I just did and there’s a nice link for you to follow in another post.
Give us your source??
Good lord man - RTFA and the link I presented.
It’s always nice to see the leftist trolls come out in force to confuse the masses.
“Just proooovvveee it and I’ll join you”
The article looks like old news. Below is from their website. Today.
Does The Salvation Army provide benefits to same-sex partners of employees?
The Salvation Army adheres to all relevant employment laws and provides for domestic partner benefits accordingly.We offer benefits to all Salvation Army employees and do so in much the same way that other companies and private organizations provide them.We extend access to benefits for family members of our employees, which may include same sex partners according to applicable law.Typically this is done through insurance vehicles that are set up for all employees within a particular Salvation Army unit.
What leftist trolls?
The article is less than a year old and explicitly exclaims (if you had read it) that the Salvation Army has been running a “diversity” campaign but the LGBT community agrees it’s a lie and they’re still the same hate filled Christians.
Please don’t regurgitate the same post you made above as “proof” when I’ve already countered it.
Really...”LGBTQEXPERIMENT” is your source?
I’m sure the idiots at DU use this same leftist rag to bolster their arguments as well!
Pfft!
I’m sure you read it all the time.
If you want an opinion on what the LGBTQ thinks of the Salvation Army and why they want it destroyed go to the source
But then you never really wanted proof.
Will never visit them again.
They chickened out.
“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,” Drew Anderson, GLAAD’s director of campaigns and rapid response, said in a statement Monday.
Chick-fil-A-holes
We do...
A bit sanctimonious don’t you think. Throw insults at the rats
Because it is anonymous forum and it makes feel better to insult their fellow conservatives. If they want insult why not go to the hill or DU
I understand some people have no class ignore them I think it is a black mark on free republic when what is supposed to be intelligent conversation degrades to insults
