Does chick fil a support the death of gays
Chick-fil-A will no longer fund organizations with anti-LGBTQ ties
After courting controversy for years, the fast-food chain Chick-fil-A will no longer fund two organizations that have historically opposed same-sex marriage.
The Atlanta-based restaurant chain has come under blaze from LGBTQ+ activists for reportedly donating millions of dollars to two Christian charities: The Salvation Army and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.
The company told ABC News Monday that it was refocusing its donations to groups centered on "hunger, homelessness and education" commencing in the fresh year.
“Beginning in 2020 the Chick-fil-A Foundation will introduce a more focused giving approach, donating to a smaller number of organizations functional exclusively in the areas of appetite, homelessness and education," Chick-fil-A said in a statement Monday.
"We have also proactively disclosed our 2018 tax filing and a preview of 2019 gifts to date on chick-fil-afoundation.org," the statement added. "The intent of charitable giving from the Chick-fil-A Foundation is to nourish the potential in every child.”

Chick-fil-A still adamant on holding homophobic ideals
Chick-fil-A, the speedy food chain that so many know and affection, has found itself in hot water time and time again. What will quiet their homophobic ideals masked as Christianity? The answer is nothing. Not even a dousing of the notorious Chick-fil-A sauce could cover that up.
Back in November 2019, Chick-fil-A announced that it would devote its philanthropy attempts to focus on homelessness, hunger and education in 2020. But, this seemingly good and moral contribution is only another shift by the company to hide their homophobia. Prior to this, the corporation had been consistently donating to anti-LGBTQ+ organizations.
Chick-fil-A was founded in Georgia by S. Truett Cathy. The Cathy family, specifically Dan Cathy, Truett’s son and the current CEO of the chain, claims to have built the restaurant on religious ideals.
But, these religious ideals, masked in giving and hospitality, are shrouded in hate and discrimination.
The chain has been known to have ties to homophobia since many years ago, but in 2019, tax files from 2017 revealed that the company had donated $1.8 million to anti-LGBTQ+ groups. Chick-fil-A continues to donate
Chick-fil-A will no longer donate to anti-LGBTQ organizations
ATLANTA -- Fast food chain Chick-fil-A will no longer fund two organizations that have historically been against same-sex marriage, according to ABC News.
The Georgia-based chain has been under heat from the LGBTQ people for reportedly donating wealth to The Salvation Army and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.
Chick-fil-A told ABC News it will refocus its donations to groups centered on "hunger, homelessness and education" in the new year.
"Beginning in 2020 the Chick-fil-A Foundation will introduce a more focused giving approach, donating to a smaller number of organizations working exclusively in the areas of appetite, homelessness and education," Chick-fil-A said in a remark Monday.
"We have also proactively disclosed our 2018 tax filing and a preview of 2019 gifts to date on chick-fil-afoundation.org," the statement added. "The intent of charitable giving from the Chick-fil-A Foundation is to nourish the potential in every child."
Tim Tassopoulos, the president and COO of Chick-fil-A, added that "no organization will be excluded from future consideration
It appears that Chick-Fil-A’s chickens have come home to roost.
The company’s funding of anti-gay rights groups and president Dan Cathy’s recent remarks that the company is “guilty as charged” in opposing queer marriage has caused a major backlash against its efforts expand into Mountain View.
Thanks to a fundraising web page citing the company’s anti-gay stance, it took less than 14 hours last week to raise the $1,000 fee needed to own the City Council listen an appeal on the proposed Chick-Fil-A location at 1962 West El Camino Real. Zoning Administrator Peter Gilli had approved the restaurant and drive-through on July 10. The Town Council could reverse or uphold that decision as soon as September 11.
Appellant David Speakman and his husband Richard were the first gay couple to marry in Santa Clara County in 2008. He says the company’s “bigoted” stance prompted him to take action.
“It’s not just a bigoted, evil company,” Speakman said. “It’s a company that wants a bad restaurant in a bad spot.”

I'm black and homosexual and I'll still eat at Chick-fil-A
COMMENTARY
by Marie Whitaker
I love the chicken at Chick-fil-A. I eat the chicken, I am not trying to partner it or Dan Cathy, the president of the firm who ignited a firestorm when he was quoted saying, “We are very much supportive of the family… the Biblical definition of the family unit.”
Cathy opposes same-sex marriage. Although I don’t agree with him, I am joyful he is standing by what he believes. The peril of his views for a male who operates one of America’s favorite fast-food chains is that now his company has change into the center of controversy.
I happen not to care what Mr. Cathy thinks about Adam and Adam saying “I do.”
Yet, now my friends are asking, “How can you still eat at Chick-fil-A?” Here are four reasons why:
1. Slippery slope: No shoes, no shirts, sinners – no service
Mr. Cathy is entitled to his personal opinions (and we possess the right to shop elsewhere). But how far into the family business is he willing to take his Biblical principles? Is he willing to apply it to everyone equally, and not just homosexual couples? Should the sign on the door say “no shirt, no shoes, sinners, no servic
