In 2014, Chick-Fil-A decided to stop funding the Paul Anderson Youth Home because it was accused of being “anti-LGBT.” But it still had funding commitments with the Salvation Army and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, both of which are also falsely accused of being “anti-LGBT” because they have biblical policies on marriage and sex outside of marriage.
Now that the funding commitment has expired, Chick-Fil-A says it will no longer fund the Salvation Army and FCA, even though the Salvation Army fits within its giving priority of funding organizations that provide housing and food banks, and FCA provides education. Instead, Tassopoulos states Chick-Fil-A will now fund Covenant House International, which is much smaller that the Salvation Army (in only 31 cities) and an LGBTQ activist.
Tassopoulos, speaking of funding Covenant House, states: “This provides more focus and more clarity.” At least he is correct, and this clarity reveals the betrayal.
The founder of Covenant House, accused of being a Catholic priest pedophile, was sued for allegedly sexually abusing the youth who were seeking shelter and food. Covenant House proudly promotes LGBTQ on its website, referring to “LGBTQ Inclusion Initiatives,” and even doing an “inclusion assessment” at every one of its facilities.
Covenant House also proudly supports the New York City Gay Pride parade with its own float, banners, t-shirts, and hashtag #CovUnity.
Covenant House is recognized as a national funder of LGBTQ causes.
Chick-Fil-A dumps the Salvation Army because it wants to expand into new markets and now shuns originations the LGBT activists falsely call “anti-LGBT”, and then turns 180 degrees to announce that it will now fund Covenant House, a radical LGBTQ activist organization that celebrates homosexuality, transgenderism, and the entire LGBTQ agenda.
And, Covenant House does not stop at LGBTQ activism, it also takes girls to abortion clinics.

I wish there was a like button.
Kind of makes the whole, closed on Sunday policy look rather pretentious. They close for faith reasons, but promote homosexuality? Seems a bit confused.
Sorry I differ with you. 1) He does not have a great singing voice. 2) He sings as if he is constipated. 3) I do not love or like any of his songs.
For me, the greatest rock star in history is none other than FREDDIE MERCURY.
“I hope that was sarcasm. Because if it was not then all I can say is Wow. How scary.”
It’s anyone’s guess. I outed several suddenly activated CFA defender trolls here that are determined to make CFA’s surrender to the leftists a serious victory against us. Check out my recent Welcomes.
Our domestic enemies KNOW they are at war against all America stands for.
The “leadership” of Chick-Fil-A is foolish.
They had only the left mad at them
Now they have conservatives pissed off at them too.
Way to go!
Then you haven’t had that chicken sandwich people are drying for that cost half as much yet....
It’s not really my business, but I’m curious why they dropped support for SA.
The real reason(s) why. That’s all I want to know.
Who demands this in order for what to happen?
Well, okay, that and will they be paying double time for working Sundays?
So true.
I already went to Popeye’s to try their chicken sandwich. I was avoiding them out of loyalty to Chick Fil A, but now it is becoming just another chicken joint.
Maybe you should go check out their drive thru menu, order a load of stuff, then when you get to the window to pay, say “Oh wait, YOU’re the people who quit funding the Salvation Army...nevermind,” and then drive off.
Exactly
@ChickfilA
How about instead of dropping funding for fine organizations like the Salvation Army, to only fund LGBQTXYZ proponents to “expand your market”, you just add the other to what you already fund? Why drop a superior organization and replace it with what is fringe?
I thought I had heard that Covenant house was at least non-religious/secular. Didn’t know they were such queer activists.
Yes, just like a virus. And the homosexual movement (LGBTXYZ) is a virus.
Capitulation has powerful momentum.
Then you’re more than a little late to the party. Target went all-homo many years ago.
Most conservatives are pathetically lazy, and won’t exercise the courage of their convictions, at least not long term. I’ve seen it in my own family, who raves over Starbucks and the Homo Depot.
Yes, sadly that looks like it could be the case with CfA’s charitable giving.
That’s a tone deaf shame if true. Perhaps more details will come out to help explain why.
I generally wonder about the politics of charities, anyway, even the Salvation Army and any other charity that’s beyond suspicion.
Socialism is evil and its everywhere in this world nowadays.
Sooner or later, the world will demand that the two witnesses must die and they will.
But not today ...
I actually spoke with a Samaritan’s Purse representative. They were not concerned at all with the Covenant House pro homosexual affirming policy. The rep said, “The good they do outweighs the bad.”
Now I’m wondering how much Dan Cathy donates to Samaritan’s Purse?
