A Chicken Chain’s Corporate Ethos Is Questioned by Gay Rights Advocates

Nicknamed “Jesus chicken” by jaded secular fans and embraced by Evangelical Christians, Chick-fil-A is among only a handful of large American companies with conservative religion built into its corporate ethos. But recently its ethos has run smack into the gay rights movement. A Pennsylvania outlet’s sponsorship of a February marriage seminar by one of that state’s most outspoken groups against homosexuality lit up gay blogs around the country. Students at some universities have also begun trying to get the chain removed from campuses.

"Did they or did they not pull their support for the organization that the gay groups were complaining about?"

The answer would be no. First off they werw supporting a seminar not an organization. This has been my experience with Chick in asking for event support or sponsorship. It's just that in this case the gays didn't like the organization who put on the event supported by Chick. There was nothing in the Chick press release to suggest that they would never support an event put on by this organization again. To the contrary. So, again I state, Chick didn't back down on anything.
