Chick-fil-a is not just a "microaggression" but an active financier of anti-LGBT hate.

So the latest right wing poutrage story flying around the typical sites like Fox News, Hot Air, and Campus Reform is a resolution by the Johns Hopkins University student government calling on the university not to allow a Chick-fil-A to be opened on campus.

The resolution rightfully states that CFA CEO Dan Cathy has made "divisive statements against the LGBTQ+ community", but its harshest statement against CFA is: "members of the LGBTQ+ community or...allies would be subjected to the microaggression of supporting current or future Chick-Fil-A development plans." It takes just this to outrage the drooling, simple-minded Fox News/Campus Reform audience.

I think the JHU student government was way too generous with that statement. If I were on the student government, I'd have called Chick-Fil-A an active financier of anti-gay hate groups, because the facts are the facts.

The WinShape Foundation, a charitable endeavor of Chick-fil-A founder S. Truett Cathy and his family, stated it would not allow same-sex couples to participate in its marriage retreats.[11][12] Chick-fil-A gave over $8 million to the WinShape Foundation in 2010.[13] Equality Matters, an LGBT watchdog group, published reports of donations by WinShape to various anti-gay organizations, including $2 million in 2009, $1.9 million in 2010 and a total of $5 million since 2003, including grants to the Family Research Council and Georgia Family Council. WinShape has also contributed to the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and Exodus International, an organization noted for supporting ex-gay conversion therapy.[14]

The Marriage and Family Foundation received $994,199 in 2009[15] and $1,188,380 in 2010. The Family Research Council, an organization listed as an anti-gay hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center in Winter 2010,[16][17][18][19][20] received $1000.[21][22][23]

I think I'll write the JHU student government a letter of support to stand out from all the right wanker hate mail. Maybe I'll even donate some money to JHU.
