Chick-fil-A gave $2 million to seven anti-gay groups in 2010, the most recent year for which figures are available, according to Equality Matters' analysis of its charitable giving.

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.

I wish I could stomach their food. Way too salty, unfortunately.

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.

Think I’ll be having lunch there today

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

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Evidently pro-hetero is "anti-gay."

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

Their owner was a Christian I believe and always closed on Sundays as they still do. Wonderful for them. And look at their businesses. They are always full of customers. They are living right and thus getting God’s blessings for doing so.

Thanks ConservativeStatement.

You could stop by and grab a drink from time to time.

[ConservativeStatement]

Funny, but no, definitely no.

I wish that Moveon.org or some other left wing group would post a nationwide list of all of the businesses that good liberals are supposed to boycott. I would try to give all of my business to companies on the list.

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.

Their owner *is* a Christian, Mr. Truett Cathy. The company is privately held.

I agree. I love the food they sell but it is at least 10 miles further than McD’s and Burger King so of course they are visited more by my family (when we eat that type of crap). In the last year, we have went to Chick-fil-A one time and went to the others about five times.

[circlecity]

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.
