Chick-fil-A Bows to Pressure, Agrees to Stop Funding Anti-Gay Groups

The right wing  just learned what it’s like to lose a fight to the LGBT community. Chick-fil-A stirred a great deal of controversy once it was disclosed that the chicken chain donates money to organizations that lobby against LGBT rights.

Chick-fil-A came under pressure from the LGBT community to cease support for anti-gay organizations, but was supported by the right wing, many of whom came out in mass numbers to support the company’s stance with Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day.

Now, however, it seems that all the work of the right wing to support Chick-fil-A may have been for nothing since the company has reversed its stance. Chick-fil-A still supports Christian values, but it has reportedly agreed to stop supporting anti-gay organizations.

The Civil Rights Agenda (TCRA) has released a press release confirming  to Chicago Alderman Proco “Joe” Moreno that its nonprofit, the WinShape Foundation, will no longer donate money to anti-gay organizations.

“The WinShape Foundations [sic] is now taking a much closer look at the organizations it considers helping, and in that process will remain true to its stated philosophy of not supporting organizations with political agendas,” the letter stated. The company also made it clear, according to TCRA, that groups like Focus on the Family and the National Organization for Marriage would cut off from future funding.

And now that Chick-fil-A has reversed its position, Moreno has agreed to drop his efforts to block Chick-fil-A from opening a new restaurant in Chicago’s Northwest Side ward.

    This is UNBELIEVABLE!!! These homosexuals have MORE power than Chic-fil-a.

    The Civil Rights Bill for Black people has been OVER TAKEN by the women rights bill [for caucasoid fe-males], the animal rights bill [for caucasoid's dogs], the gay rights bill [for caucasoid gays], and the men rights bill [for white males].

    WE ARE LEFT EMPTY HANDED…AGAIN!!!

    It’s time to sep-a-rat-e from these demon/devils because it’s going to get WORSE than this. Gays have more rights, than Black people!!!

      By the way the Chick-fil-a logo incorporates a chicken into the C. Although, this isn’t very hidden, it is still very clever.

      With that said, I guess Chick-fil-a are CHICKENS when it comes to standing up!!!

      Your ignorance here is unbelievable. Womens rights for white women only? Animal rights for white people only? You must be insane! You go and ask Obama if that is his agenda! It is for ALL women and animals! And what has ANY of this got to do with the black community- which you had to bring up, typically! You want to incite hatred and homophobia, while denouncing racism. Yes, this is what you have come to. Double standards.

        ===============================

        Was that a joke? Are you on meth? An alcoholic? A crackhead? Or just a d**n fool? Or, perhaps ALL OF THE ABOVE!

        Let’s leave at ‘ALL OF THE ABOVE’! I see me and O’Drama has driven your dumb a*s crazy, too!

        Go take your white pills and gather up your thoughts before you do something crazy!

    I’m outraged! Guess they (homosexuals) don’t believe in free speech, or freedom of choice. We must fall in line and support their agenda or we can’t have business’ or speak or minds.
    BULLIES!
    That’s okay you’ll have NO say on judgement day!
