Chick-fil-A denies capitulating to LGBT activists; Christian groups won't be excluded from donations

Amid reports that fast food chain Chick-fil-A was halting donations to Christian groups, the restaurant's foundation is maintaining they are philanthropically restructuring, not caving to political correctness in pursuit of higher profits.

Reports emerged Monday that after months of consistently negative press coverage related to their long-held views about marriage and human sexuality and donations to like-minded organizations, that the famous chicken sandwich shop was discontinuing their financial contributions to groups characterized as "anti-LGBT."

The Christian Post reached out to Chick-fil-A Monday, asking them to respond to the criticisms that they were compromising their principles in order to appease their ideological opponents.

"Our goal is to donate to the most effective organizations in the areas of education, homelessness and hunger. No organization will be excluded from future consideration – faith-based or non-faith based," the spokesperson said, noting "I also wanted to add that Chick-fil-A will not be opening on Sundays."

From the Christian Post article. Where in that statement does CfA say they're not giving to the Salvation Army or FCA or any faith based organization?

They don't.

CP quotes an article from some unknown (to me) source named "BisNow" which claimed an exclusive interview with CfA and made the statement that CfA wouldn't be giving to Salvation Army, FCA, etc..

That's called a lie, wrapped in a lie and repeated to attempt to give the lie credibility.

The so-called "News media" does that every day.

CFA didn't. I read the article. They quoted some unknown (to me..) "news source" which claimed an exclusive interview in which the statement quoted was made.

Now, I don't know who "BisNow" is nor do I care. I care about what CfA said directly and that was in the quote I provided.

They said point blank they're not excluding faith based organizations.

Why is that so hard for some to understand?

“Thinking between a little #fakenews and people jumping on the band wagon way to fast assumptions might have been made that are wrong.”

Perhaps, or did they single out the Christian groups, BY NAME, as now being ‘unworthy’ of their donations? You don’t do that unless you’re trying to please a ‘higher power’, and I guess that’s not God.

A little on new (2016) CEO and president Tim Tassopoulos.

https://www.ancientfaith.com/podcasts/features/meet_chick_fil_a_president_tim_tassopoulos

He is an Orthodox Christian, which explains a lot. High church culture is as corrupt as it gets these days.

Still a big supporter of the Boy Scouts, which has become a leftist trophy.

Personally, I’m NOT familiar with ANY national charity that I will give my limited money to, as virtually all of them spent a LARGE percent to donations om MULTI-HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLAR salaries & “goodies” for their executives.
Also, many national charities also make POLITCAL DONATIONS using the donor’s money.

Personally, my limited donations go to LOCAL projects.

It is always a mistake to acquiesce to Left. Normal society should be “anti LGBT”, 100%.

Did they happen to explain why they won’t donate to the SA any longer? The red kettle people are the most worthy charity of all. Until they do, this is nothing but CYA for caving to the alphabet Nazis who hate any organization that doesn’t love their perversion.

CFA released the list of 2019 donations. Two huge targets of the Gaystapo, SA and FCA, are not on it. Meanwhile, millions go to Democrat connected charities. Why is it so hard to understand they caved?

re: “Why is that so hard for some to understand? “

Because, we have a lot of MOBY’s inhabiting FR these days?

Or, ppl who don’t actually THINK ... they are TOO EASILY TAKEN IN BY #FAKENEWS.

That’s your opinion that they caved. How many faith based organizations are still on that list? Is that list static (it will never change going forward?) or will it change over time?

They’re awful. You haven’t missed anything. I tried one last year because of all the FR hype. It was so bad the dog refused to go near it.
