Latest message from the Chick-fil-A Facebook page
chick-fil-A facebook page ^ | September 20, 2012

Posted on 09/20/2012 2:39:48 PM PDT by lowbridge

For many months now, Chick-fil-A’s corporate giving has been mischaracterized. And while our sincere intent has been to remain out of this political and social debate, events from Chicago this week have once again resulted in questions around our giving. For that reason, we want to provide some context and clarity around who we are, what we believe and our priorities in relation to corporate giving. For a better understanding of our corporate giving, please see the attached document titled “Chick-fil-A: Who We Are”. This is the same document provided and referred to in coverage surrounding Chicago

Less than a month after their supporters gave them the record breaking sales day, they slap them in the face.

You mean they didn’t cave, so those hysterical “conservatives” were wrong?
Thanks for posting.

They DID NOT cave, good grief, nothing has changed for CFA.
Read their statement.

The articles say they have cut funding to traditional marriage groups, if that is true then they have indeed caved.

Really, you will beleive an article but not read CFA statement.
Read their statement, its not that hard.
Look at what they say not what the liberal press says they said.
If you still think they caved, then ok.

Keep in mind GLAAD says WinShape is a hate group because their marriage retreats have this pesky requirement that a marriage have a man and a woman.

WinShape is basically the Cathy family foundation... Chick-Fil-A is never going to abandon them.

There is apparently MORE to the story.

Chick-Fil-A will no longer fund traditional marriage groups

B.S.

WinShape is a traditional marriage group... it also happens to be the Cathy Family Foundation... it’s not going anywhere.

My eyesight is poor, but I don’t see that in the pdf document linked.

Ok, so you choose to not read what CFA has said but what a newspaper says.
This statement of theirs explains who they are and who they fund.
Good grief, read what CFA is saying not what other people are saying they are saying.

The news articles.

The PDF is a response to the reporting, because CFA wanted to keep it on the down low.

aw, c’mon, you’ve been around long enough to know that certain FReepers take joy in the worst possibly interpretation of absolutely anything.

I read the PDF, and it was vague. No mention of Focus on the Family. The Washington Times story is crystal clear. So what am I to believe, corporate PR-speak vague Press Release or newspaper report with named sources?

Sounds like they aren’t denying that story, but they are, in a round about way, confirming it.

You have got to be joking. I choose to beleive CFA and not the press, it appears you want to think the worst about CFA, I choose to beleive what they said.

Oh, good grief.
They haven’t denied there are moon people, does that mean there might be, because you think a non denial is a conformation of guilt.
Oh good lord.
