Chick-Fil-A Donated Nearly $2 Million To Anti-Gay Groups In 2009
November 01, 2011 8:19 am ET
Earlier this year, Chick-fil-A became embroiled in a controversy surrounding its donations to anti-gay groups. Though Chick-fil-A president Dan Cathy denied having an “agenda against anyone,” an Equality Matters investigation discovered that Chick-fil-A donated more than $1 million to anti-gay causes between 2003 and 2008. Now, new IRS 990 forms reveal that the company donated nearly two million dollars to anti-gay groups in 2009 alone, the most recent year for which public records are available.

Fucking sick. My school sells Chick-Fil-A every week.
sighs I love CFA but I don’t really want to eat there anymore unless they ~change their ways~ :C they sure had some goooood chicken.
I’ve reblogged this before but I’ll do it again. This one has more information. The last one was just how they don’t support gay marriage. Some people were crying that this didn’t mean they were anti-gay.
Well, if that were all… it’s still actually anti-gay since they were donating to causes that worked against gay marriage instead of just having an opinion about it… but whatever, that would be one thing, but no, actually, they donate specifically to causes that work against LGBT rights in various angles, not just in marriage. Some of them even work to make homosexuality illegal again. CFA is blatantly anti-gay. End of story.
I like the food, but if this is what they’re going to use my money for then I can easily give it up forever.
