Perhaps they have *caved* according to this press release.
** reliable sources who did not wish to be identified** == “we made it up”
This phrase: “publicly stated that his company opposes same-sex marriage” alone convinces be this is bulls**t.
He was asked HIS opinion so he stated HIS opinion. This is the first I have seen ANYwhere asserting he was speaking for the company.
I wouldn’t believe it without the CEO affirming it.
Additionally, they have sent an internal memo to franchisees and stakeholders that states that as a company, they will “treat every person with honor, dignity and respect-regardless of their beliefs, race, creed, sexual orientation and gender” and that their “intent is not to engage in political or social debates.” This statement was placed into an official company document called “Chick-fil-A: Who We Are.”
Look Dammit. CFA has ALWAYS maintained this Christ-like virtue; to treat every person with honor, dignity and respect-regardless of their beliefs, race, creed, sexual orientation and gender. This is NOT NEW.
Shame on so many of you.
Ok, that last thread also disappeared my post about the forces arrayed against internet freedom. Reading the manifest here, there’s all kinds of good intentions, but on balance icare is for the islamics.
Dear colleagues and friends,
The International Network Against Cyber Hate (www.inach.net), founded in 2002 by Magenta Foundation/MDI and Jugendschutz.net in Germany has its annual conference on Monday, September 24. This is our 10th year of existence and during that period we have gotten removed tens of thousands of instances of cyber hate in 20 countries; online racism and discrimination, antisemitism and Holocaust denial, hatred against Muslims and Roma and Sinti, and lots of other forms of hate. We are proud to have made this contribution to a better Internet.
We also trained web forums how to do effective moderation, gave courses and workshops in schools and other places, published reports, CD-ROMs and manuals, and lobbyed both the Internet industry, international institutions and politicians.
Removal of discriminatory material helps but is not a definitive solution, just as the police will not make crime disappear. The time is now for all actors ‘on’ the Internet, like the Internet industry, judiciary, NGOs, users and user groups, to jointly commit on actively countering online hate and incitement to hate, and to support and defend the values and methods that counteract online hate.
To this end the Internet Common Values Charter was created by INACH and we are asking you to sign it. The Charter can be found here:
http://www.inach.net/INACH-Internet-Common-Values-Charter.pdf (english)
Those who wish to sign can do so by sending an e-mail to ro@inach.net
with the text ‘Yes, I am signing the Internet Common Values Charter’in the body.
If you want us to list you or your organisation in a certain way, please let us know.
From next Monday on it will be possible to sign online, since the Charter will be officially launched during our conference. It will be available on our website, www.inach.net
Your support is much appreciated!

I thought that this company was privately owned. The company did not make donations with company money. The owners made donations with their own portion of the profits. How do they stop private individuals from making donations?
I hope they go out of business.
Caving to the radical pervs.
How long before Chik-fil-A is funding one of Romney’s Gay Pride Kids Marches??
That's not what he said. He said he personally supported traditional marriage.
Why should I believe the rest of the article?
I'm tired of conservatives being bullied into submission. It makes me sick.
Homosexuals make some of the world’s best con men (Obama). I’ll wait for confirmation before I jump the gun.
I need to see what the F happened!! :(
This is the loser claiming victory to cover their own A$$ for having to cave.. This is pure CHICK IN S#IT..
LOL, I doubt it. Cathy is not a stupid man, he saw the outpouring of support from traditional folks and the hate from the homofascists and leftists. Why would he side with them?
