I knew someone who attended Northeastern University. He bragged about graduating "without ever reading a book." Oh well, I am sure he is proud of the school.

IOW: Chick-fil-A supports only groups that follow the teachings in the Bible.

We don’t have them up my way but I’ve heard they’re pretty good.It’s good to see that they contribute to respectable political and social causes.I’m also impressed by the fact that they close on Sunday!

I’d love to support Chick-fil-a, but sadly there are none in Michigan. Not sure how far north they come, or if there are any future plans to expand north.

Chick-fil-A is the only fast food restaurant that I ever give any business.

Evidently pro-hetero is "anti-gay."

Doesn't that make pro-gay "anti-hetero?"

I suspect they are spinning this just a little.

He gives a lot of money to Christian groups who oppose the gay agenda tho that is probably a tiny bit of their activities.

When they say “anti-gay” group they are including any Christian group. I never used to go to Chick-fil-A only because I’m not that big on chicken sandwiches but after I discovered the Christian background of the organization I leaned to like it and eat there all the time now.

We ate there yesterday.

Guess I’ll eat there three times today.

“Here’s How Much Money Chick-fil-A Gives To Anti-Gay Groups”

###

Should be “Pro-Family groups”, or at least “anti-pervert groups” or “anti-homosexual groups”.

Gay? Why would they be against happy people?

Article would have us believe that active gay-bashing is the only mission of these groups.

They are Christian groups who happen to believe marriage is between one man and one woman.

How is THAT “anti-gay”?

So? This is America. They can give to anyone they want. What's the big deal?

I'm sure there are institutions who give to homosexual supporting groups.

If you want a homosexual country, support the others. If you want a mom and pop country, support these guys.

It's really quite simple to figure out.

Why do they call them “anti-gay” instead of “pro-morality?”

Too greasy for my tastes, but as long as the kids like it, I’ll gladly take them there. And they’re not hurting for business ... ever try to get in the drive thru lane during a lunch rush?

Isn’t Business Insider now owned by Bloomberg?

One thing I’ve noticed is the gay boycott of Chick-fil-A has been highly successful... for Chick-fil-A.

Their restaurants — all doing a brisk business — have a nice, family-friendly environment.

Now that “Dear Leader” has “evolved”, it is a matter of either you push the homosexual agenda 100% or else they’re going to destroy you. Period.

The Chick-fil-A people are Christian people who have, for many years, devoted themselves and their money to Christian causes - children’s homes for one thing (going way back). We have family friends who worked for them for years.

God didn’t approve of homosexual behavior in the Law. He has not changed - magically - just because certain human beings have decided they like it.

First, why is this article in “Business Insider”? It seems like a Huffpo type article....
Regardless, if you look at that list, they all have one thing in common. They are all Christian Organizations. is Jim Edwards anti-Christian? Is Business Insider anti-Christian? It must be. Maybe Jim and the Business Insiders would like Christianity to be abolished? It seems so.
We MUST start fighting back. The liberals are less that 30% of the population (btw- all studies agree that our population is less than 4% homosexual).
How about a story on what charities Progressive Insurance donates to? Or how about Salesforce.com? Who are the major contributors to The Tides Foundation and what groups receive the greatest funding from Tides? What charities does Business Insider contribute to?

As a retiree I only get into civilization (town) about once or twice a month, but those are my "Chic=Fil-A" days. I always eat there.

It is always clean, the employees are very nice and polite, and they stand for the causes I believe in.

I have stopped going into any establishment who employ, and tolerate, employees who are rude, and with an attitude. When I'm at the grocery store, I pick the line where I don't see an obama-pout on someones angry face.

I'm sick of the attitudes and I won't trade where it is pronounced. I'll wait behind five people with full grocery carts to use the checkout person who exudes a friendly face and a good attitude. I won't buy from car, appliance, or other salespeople with that attitude either. If that's all an establishment has to offer, I'll take my business elsewhere.

I pick my preference of charities to which I donate, and tell the rest to get it from obama.

Now my personal vendetta won't make the oceans rise, but it satisfies me.
