One of the nation’s largest gay advocacy organizations is greeting Chick-Fil-A’s divestment from Christian charities like the Salvation Army with tepid praise and further demands, including an “unequivocal” denunciation of the brand’s history and values.
GLAAD (whose name is an acronym for its former title, “Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation”) demanded “safe workplaces for LGBTQ employees” and an apparent denunciation of the Christian ministry Focus on the Family, responding to Chick-Fil-A’s decision to stop donating to the Salvation Army’s Angel Tree program for needy children and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, which serves historically black colleges and universities (HCBUs).
The full statement from Drew Anderson, GLAAD’s director of campaigns and rapid response, names more steps the fast-food chain must take to prove its genuine repentance:
"If Chick-Fil-A is serious about their pledge to stop holding hands with divisive anti-LGBTQ activists, then further transparency is needed regarding their deep ties to organizations like Focus on the Family, which exist purely to harm LGBTQ people and families."

They will lose more than they will gain!
ReplyDeleteYou can't give the gays anything. Like the blacks. ITS NEVER ENOUGH!!
ReplyDeleteReally ? How is it filthy fast food joints are all over the news. Who cares ? They are experimenting with pick up and delivery only services and could care less about being eating IN destinations. People will buy the slop anyway why bother with all the real estate and staffing for a fast food eating out night on the town. I think it's a smart move. The cost of maintaining the bath rooms alone will up their margins.
ReplyDeleteYou can never cave to fascists like glaad
ReplyDeleteYou cannot please these leftist groups. The more you offer them the more they demand. They will not be happy until you are fully destroyed. And as far as Chick-fil-A caving, I will stop catering to them just for the first two Charities that they stop giving too. If you are not going to hold to a set of values, you're no better than any other restaurant fast food business. So I will not give priority business to Chick-fil-A anymore.
ReplyDeleteIf you lay with dogs, you're going to get fleas.

ReplyDeleteChick-Fil-A is always clean and tidy when I visit.
On the contrary, I love Popeye's chicken but it doesn't seem to matter where I go they are filthy!
I am seriously thinking about boycotting Chik fila because of this stupid move just because of a very minute percentage of whiners.
ReplyDeleteChick fil a should know better that no matter what they do it won’t be enough and will continue to get hammered so continue on like you’ve been.
ReplyDeleteAt 6:38 p.m. So that is the issue, they are not continuing on like they've been. That's why I will no longer consider them first when I go to get a meal out.

ReplyDeleteDoe anybody remember how this all started out many years ago?
"Tolerance."
What a load of crap. It has been fraudulent from the gitgo.
There will be no more 'tolerance' for this 3.5% of the population. They don't tolerate ANYBODY who won't give them everything they want.
Sooo,
ReplyDeleteThey're gonna let the likes of Raging Madcow, Ellen Degenerate, and MeatHead Rapino-Noir dictate their political activities.....

I can't find the 6:38 comment but I won't consider them at all. Buh Bye. Hope they continue to lose business.
