Chic-fil-A should make commercials that claim that eating their product will cure gayness and imbue a sense of well-being that comes with being normal...
Suuure he was. And whoss word do we have on this? Shane's, of course!
Contrary to reports first made by the gay-activist group The Civil Rights Agenda (TCRA) on Tuesday and later picked up by mainstream media outlets, Chick-fil-A and its charitable-giving arm, the WinShape Foundation, did not agree to stop making donations to groups that support the biblical definition of marriage in exchange for being allowed to open a franchise in Chicago.

Sounds to me like they caved. I found the following text on Chick-Fil-A’s own website; their official response. There’s a link to a pdf file about their corporate giving that’s PASSWORD PROTECTED. I mean really, that’s idiotic. Why would you put a password protected pdf on a page that’s supposed to be a public response ?
When it comes down to backing down to sodomites wanting people to say ok to sodomy, it’s better to just shut down the corporation. Let everyone lose their jobs, let the government get less tax revenue, time to forget it. The line about not supporting social agendas is code for yes, they backed down. The even included the nice sexual orientation line.
Here’s their response:
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.
A part of our corporate commitment is to be responsible stewards of all that God has entrusted to us. Because of this commitment, Chick-fil-A’s giving heritage is focused on programs that educate youth, strengthen families and enrich marriages, and support communities. We will continue to focus our giving in those areas. Our intent is not to support political or social agendas.
As we have stated, the Chick-fil-A culture and service tradition in our restaurants is to treat every person with honor, dignity and respect – regardless of their belief, race, creed, sexual orientation or gender. We will continue this tradition in the over 1,600 restaurants run by independent Owner/Operators.

Of course they caved. The college market can double their earnings. Cathy never should have said a word. Now they are as dead as Susan Komen to me.
It makes no sense for Chick-fil-a to cave to the queers period. Their business is up. This article is published in one of the most leftist of left rags going on the alleged news market of rags today the Atlanta Journal Constitution.
I don’t buy it. Some other means by the Left to disillusion those of us on the right is what I see.
There are so many lies out there for the purpose of disillusionment of the Right on all matters leading to the elections in November.
Homosexual Rights? (I never call them gay because those people are anything but happy and joyful). They have the same rights as I or any other American has. Nothing MORE. End of Discussion.
Way to go, Chik-Fila — grabbing defeat from the jaws of victory and handing the Gay Mafia another win.
Nobody should look to companies for salvation or other things. If you like the food, eat it. If you want to buy a product, buy it. You should NEVER look to a company for your morals. Go to church and get your morals and principles there.
A lot of us, me included, feel used by these people.
Until their is clear EVIDENCE that they have not cut off their giving to a single group that supports real marriage, I simply will not step into their restaurants anymore.
(and good, because it was costing me a lot more than McDonald’s).
It appears that CFA has caved...and again conservatives were used.
Chick-Fil-A is still a godly company intent on extending that influence in this world. I believe they just wanted to communicate that their restaurants aren’t out to decline service to the general public and don’t have a discrimination policy either. As Christians, we are commended on being wise in this world without compromising.
They caved but are savvy to admit it. Face it we’re all suckers. Giving them tons of business and support just so they’d sell out to the PC squeaky wheel crowd. Nobody stands up for conservative values and stays standing. They all buckle like lil bitches.
Done with all of them.
CFA did not change a thing. It’s policy/standards/donations have been the same way they are now. They didn’t change. All these articles seem to be slanted to make CFA lose supporters. Didn’t you read that article that got posted yesterday? They have changed nothing, from what I read. The fag organizations want to destroy CFA so they write extremely slanted articles, and this newspaper is no different.
