At the center of the battle over marriage, the popular Christian-owned restaurant chain Chick-fil-A is once again a target of criticism, this time over a $1.65 million donation to the Fellowship of Christian Athletes to support summer camps for inner-city Atlanta youth.
The LGBTQ blog Outsports called attention to the donation, saying the company’s charitable arm “has been continually criticized for its donations to organizations classified as anti-LGBTQ.”
Chick-fil-A Foundation Executive Director Rodney Bullard told Business Insider the foundation has a “much higher calling than any political or cultural war.”
“The calling for us is to ensure that we’re relevant and impactful in the community, and that we are helping children and that we’re helping them to be everything that they can be,” Bullard said.

But Outsports real problem with FCA (Fellowship Christian Athletes) is that it requires its leaders “to agree to a ‘sexual purity policy’that forbids them from participating in ‘heterosexual sex outside of marriage nor any homosexual act.’ It further defines such acts as not ‘[constituting] an alternative lifestyle acceptable to God.'”
And we’re giving free publicity to obscure LGBTQ blogs WHY, exactly?
FYI -eat more chicken.
Outsports can go piss up a stump.
It’s not their money....and never will be.
WND is hardly obscure. Read the article.
Third largest fast food chain by revenue behind Starbucks & McDonalds - including being closed once a week.
So, umm, yeah, keep targeting it, it’s WORKING.
Oh, the horror!!! Those evil Chick-Fil-A people!!!!
I wish there was one near my office.
I would eat there every day.
Getting damned sick of these perverts.
I pre-emptively ate at Chik-fil-A this morning.
Aren't we fortunate to have such a benevolent tyrant as the fag community?
Seems that anyone who won’t actively promote sodomy is regarded as “anti-LGBTQ”
Mooooo
Who does the classifying?
What criteria do they use?
By what authority do they take on this rôle?
It is so crowded you have to wait outside the restaurant, and the line of cars at the drive through have gridlocked the mall parking lots.
This hatred for a private company by the totalitarian left is a foreshadowing of what they envision in our nation.
If you do not align with party doctrine, you must be eliminated comrades. You either to promote their agenda or they will destroy you. Mob rules.
Reminder to eat at CFA this week.
I started paying attention to politics and the culture war a couple of decades ago. I entered law enforcement in a major city and started to see how things worked. The patronage jobs, cronyism, nepotism, corruption. But also, working in a poor part of the city, how different my life was compared to others. And, of course, since clinton we’ve all witnessed the gradual descent into the gutter on the cultural level.
First we had OWS, a bunch of rich kids that had no idea what they were protesting, all why wearing NorthFace and walking around with iPhones and iPads. And it’s been a downhill ride ever since. Now, not only do we still have the protesters, some of who can get very violent and destructive, we also have the “liberal hipsters” that live in their lily white, hipster neighborhoods with other hipsters and the LBGTQ crowd and they all live happily ever after. They’re all so enlightened compared to the rest of us, right?
Only problem is, if you tell them it’s time to live by the policies they supposedly support(immigration being one of them), the fangs come out. They all talk a good game about tolerance and inclusiveness, as long as none of that interferes in their lives of spoken word at the coffee shop and the latest micro-brew down the street.
My point to all of this, I used to think that the Right, Conservatives, Right of Center, Right Leaning Libertarian types, could actually live with the Left. That their side can stake a claim to their side of the street. The other side could stake a claim to the other and the two side could live in relative harmony.
Basically...You don’t bother me, I won’t bother you.
It is simply not possible. It can never happen. They are the most intolerant group of people on the planet. And that is saying something given a certain demographic, mainly from the Middle East that is rather intolerant. The two sides are completely and totally incompatible. The country either needs a civil war and a Purge, or it just needs to break up as that Russian economist predicted. Let the folks on the coast have their thing, their liberal utopia’s. And let the rest of us have ours.
