Chick-fil-A is ending donations criticized by LGBTQ activists after years of backlash

[yortsed snacilbuper]

Chick-fil-A stopped making donations to almost all controversial groups after facing backlash in 2012, when CEO Dan Cathy said he did not support same-sex marriage. However, the company continued its relationships with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and the Salvation Army.

Rodney Bullard, the head of the Chick-fil-A Foundation, defended the donations in an interview with Business Insider earlier this year, saying they were "relevant and impactful in the community."

"For us, that's a much higher calling than any political or cultural war that's being waged," Bullard said.

3. That was your reading, too?

Huh. Someone must have figured out that LBGTQ folks and their allies have more money to spend than the (hopefully) aging population of bigots. Has anyone notified AG Barr about this? He was quite animated last week speaking at Notre Dame about moral relativism and how his peculiar brand of Christianity has been dwindling ever since the Moral Majority started getting so heavily involved in politics and their God-is-on-our-side bullshit. I wonder (no I wouldn't) what Barr would have to say about Chick-Fil-A caving in like this?
