C*ck-Fil-A? Chick-Fil-A Will No Longer Donate to Organizations Gay Pressure Groups Claim Are "Anti-Gay"

You know -- alt-right organizations like the Salvation Army.

Chick-fil-A said Monday that it has stopped donations to several Christian organizations after receiving backlash from LGBT rights activists over the last several weeks.

The U.S. fast food chain said that as it expands, it will no longer donate to the Salvation Army, the Paul Anderson Youth Home, and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, which opposes same-sex marriage. The company’s charity, the Chick-fil-A Foundation, has donated millions of dollars to the two organizations.

"We made multi-year commitments to both organizations and we fulfilled those obligations in 2018," a representative for Chick-fil-A said, saying the chain will now focus its charitable donations on "education, homelessness and hunger."

Nevergiveup says that Chick-Fil-A did not admit they were bowing to PC pressure, but... well, if they're focusing on "homelessness and hunger," why would they stop donating to the Salvation Army, except for the pressure from gay groups?

And of course they would not admit that.

But I can't make sense of claiming you're redirecting your donations to help with "homelessness and hunger," and then say, "And that means no more donations to the Salvation Army."

Chick-Fil-A disputes that this represents a "cave" to gay gestapo groups, but it seems to be that, at least to me.

Gay groups have been directing hateful protests at the organization for weeks.

Below, video of some of the protesters, including many, many drag queens.

David French rates this "a blessing of liberty," I presume.

Ah ACE don't misquote me. All I relayed was what was printed in the Papers: That CFA said they had fully fulfilled their Pledges to those Organizations. The article made NO mention of PC Pressure ( not that I doubt there was some ). I was replying to people make things up out of thin air and misquoting what CFA said. I was neither defending or accusing them. Simply reporting what was being printed

They are a solid charity that does good work. And they let you dictate to some degree where your donation goes (disaster relief, general fund, etc.). I usually give 25% of my donation specifically to disaster relief (where they have helped my community in fire-prone CO tremendously) and the rest to the general fund.

36 Didn't we already go through this a few years ago when Chik-fil-a shifted charities then? Apparently, it was the end of the world then as well. (IIRC, the big issue then being "pro-marriage" charities.)

It's actually good corporate strategy to shift these things from time to time because the receiving organizations, especially large ones, often tend to get lazy with "guaranteed" money.

Before everyone freaks out (not that they haven't already), I'd suggest just giving them a bit to articulate this better.

51 And they're learning to never cave into the left cause it just doubles down; GLAAD has said that Chik fil a didn't do enough.

They seem to think Chik is cutting donations due to the pressure from the gays.

Chik is also going to find out that except for them being a good sandwich maker, they'll take some hits because we now know that they are not some sort of hero of conservatism (probably never were) and they'll go back to being like all the rest.

Too bad for them. And the funny thing is like all the others who cave; they won't derive one damn thing from it and they may be damaged.

55 I give CFA a hard pass on this one. The amount of money going to the Salvation Army was small. They've concentrated their giving activities into a very specific strategy, where before it was a little shotgun. Spending money in the communities they serve through direct giving is often more effective than giving to larger organizations and having them do it. It's really a matter of preference.

102 The Gay Mafia's fixation on Chic-Fil-A has been breathtaking. To say they were obsessed with the fact that their founder (dead now?) was Christian and believed in un-gay marriage (yet did nothing adversary towards gays in any manner) was enough for the restaurant to be targeted for extermination or forced to bend a knee. One is not even allowed personal opinions in our brave, new world. It's extremely disappointing they seem to have taken this stance. Either their principles have changed, or their principles have taken a back seat to the quest for "new markets" and the outreach to those they have been ruthlessly slandered by.

Chick-Fil-A Trades Adoring Christian Fans For Outraged Mob That Won't Be Appeased Until Their Every Demand Is Met

https://tinyurl.com/s72sr6k

babylon bee

"In no way will this backfire on us," said Chick-fil-A CEO Dan Cathy. "Surely the left will be entirely appeased by this move. They will definitely forgive us right away and welcome us as one of them. In no way will they hold our past activities against us. This is much better than our previous Christian audience, who were always adoring us and never protesting us."

Cathy said the Christian fans have been great, but it's boring just having loyal fans who support you through thick and thin, and he'd much rather have fans who stage die-ins and cancel you when you don't cave in.

"Sometimes you just want to be loved by a group that protests you for years and calls you a bigot," he added, shrugging.

However, can we stop with this "oh well, we all knew the food wasn't that great anyway" line that's been circulating the last 24 hours? Nearly everyone's been in agreement that their chicken is awesome, and it just looks silly to be claiming otherwise now. It's sour grapes, and everyone knows it.

120 The only purpose of a corporation giving money is PR. You can only justify a corporate policy of charitable giving if it increases revenue and sales.

So it is justifiable for them to stop, since being barred from certain locations and having those freaks outside is not good for sales. OTOH, bowing to terrorists and paying tribute to the gay horseman of the apocalypse is probably not good for sales either.

If this gets them on campuses and into lib cities, then it is a win. Let them make more cash, and pay employees, and spread their Christian message and let those employees spread the Christian cash to good purpose.

Having made that switch. They are now manufacturing a "consensus" by pressure, intimidation. They'd be doing it in the Courts if they could just get a few more Hawaiian judges on the Court.

Ultimately, objective truth is to be destroyed. Everyone will potentially be the prisoner of someone else's ego, if not their own.

Corporations use charitable giving for a variety of purposes, to do what they perceive as good and to be perceived by others as doing so. Boards think they can purchase good will by doing so, and they're not wrong. It's perfectly rational for shareholders to support that.

irrelevant. Let the owners take the cash and donate it themselves. The only difference between a private company and public is how the ownership is traded. The corporation is still a profit making enterprise and all charitable giving should be to that goal.

Private companies usually have more leeway since they are often closely held by a single family, and they can donate corporate cash as a business expense for tax purposes, but that is just accounting and not justifiable for the business goal.

277 This was a terrible PR move by CfA. The sodomites still won't eat there, and the Christians get slapped in the face. Today's culture is actively hostile to Christianity. I think the popularity of CfA was partly due to being one of the few remaining business that doesn't crap on the right.

But I also understand the people who decide that the drive thru line has too many cars, and maybe they don't need to eat out today. I don't think Chik-Fil-A wants to lose that business, and any service industry can tell you: NEVER dump on your hardcore fans. They are worth their weight in gold.

First, the Catholic Church alone has millions of faithful adherents throughout the world, and usually ones that resist huge social pressure to stop supporting the Church. So they have a lot of social clout.

Secondly, you're right that elite American society absolutely hates Christianity. But that's not the same thing as lacking political clout. Because that clout is from the consent of the governed. The Vindmans of the world don't believe that, but they were always liars.

Thirdly, the Christian movement has come back from the execution of its founder. As long as some of us resist, this faith will live on.

Posted by: Puddin Head at November 19, 2019 01:06 PM (yRAFu)

In the interest of pure trivia, it was actually the Persians who were Zoroastrian, the Babylonians (who Daniel lived with during the captivity) had a pantheon of gods with one named Marduk on top of it all. That religion is long gone, wiped out by the Zoroastrians after Cyrus the Great conquered everything.

Zoroastrianism probably predates Abraham, which would make it the oldest recognized monotheistic religion. Early Christianity appears to have absorbed quite a few Zorastrian elements that aren't found in Judaism, such as the Final Judgment and the Lake of Fire, among other things.

357 I sent the following to Chick Fil A through several channels:

Part of the longtime appeal of patronizing your restaurant, is your commitment to traditional values, especially organizations such as the Salvation Army, the Paul Anderson Youth Home, and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. While it's surely positive to include new organizations in your focus on education, homelessness, and hunger, you're still eliminating the previously mentioned groups. Know that our family's desire to choose Chick Fil A will greatly decline in the free market.
If corporations such as yourself choose to focus efforts elsewhere, our nation relies more on the goodwill of churches, whose influence and attendance is obviously diminishing.
But I just want to let you know that your shift to other organizations isn't as clever a diplomatic move as you may initially think. It feels like a cop-out to many in middle America. I've been in the lines of the "buy-cotts" to support you when you've been under fire. Now, decisions such as what you're doing now vis a vis the Foundation's shifting "focus" make me feel undervalued and perhaps as if our support has been taken advantage of.
We urge you to reconsider your charitable causes.

I'd also like to add that it used to drive me batshit insane when soldiers (some senior NCOs) in the Army would address themselves as Sergeant even though they were SFC, Master Sergeants, etc. I told all my folks everytime we were deployed together with our Army brothers and sisters that if I heard them address someone as Sarge instead of their appropriate rank and title that I'd rip their heads off and shit down their necks. Had a couple Marine and a Sailor try me on occasion but no further issues after a couple of public shamings and extra duty for failure to follow simple instructions.

No other service that I know of allows that Sarge type of shit and neither should the Army. Let a sailor call a Senior Chief "Chief" and see what happens. Let an airman call a Senior Master Sergeant a "Sarge" and see WTF happens. Let a Marine call a Gunny a Sarge and see WTF happens. But the Army.. dudes.. I stop that shit in its tracks on every deployment (at least until I've left the AOR). LOL

The people in power are despicably evil and hate Christianity. I'm surprised there are still places in America that limit abortion at all.

You're right to be angry, especially at the performative Christianity that has wasted decades of time and countless opportunities. But Christians have stopped tolerating failure in our public officials, or sops to our "allies" who keep supporting the ACLU in their attempts to muzzle us. Quite a few parts of the cuckservative movement are screaming about the "Trump cult." But they feel that way about the "Jesus cult" too.

If millions of Christians awake in America, not even 10% of the total, that's the end. America will feel like Iraq to the DC parasites. And thanks to their intense attempts to ban the religion, that day is closer than ever.

it works, that's why they do it.

and you missed the first step - control the language

control/restrict the words we use, bastardize them, ban some of them

control what one can say
leads to
controlling what they think
leads to
controlling their actions

From Breitbart, quoting GLAAD:

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.

Posted by: Gooshy at November 19, 2019 01:25 PM (kXtf5)

Exists PURELY to harm LGBTQ people and families?

GLAAD, FOTF started in 1977. Don't think LGBTQ was an issue back then.

I don't believe it continues to exist PURELY for that reason.

What a bunch of drama queens.

And words, like PURELY, (should) mean things.

435 I can report that LGBTQ people regularly attempt to harm Focus on the Family. The campus is vandalized every week, normal services like mail delivery are denied, employees are thrown out of restaurants if they forget to take off their name tags.

Homosexuals are actually safer on the FoF campus than they are in the company of other homosexuals.

They don't need to outlaw Christianity. They'll just starve it into submission or death. History repeats itself because eventually when things get easier, people get stupid again.

438 Yes, by the way, if you really think this is a bad thing, do contact Chick-fil-a. I could but I'd write something unconvincing like,

"Dan, this is a bad strategic move. These people think you gave in to their demands and are going to up the pressure until Chick-fil-a is forced to remove any publicly accessible connection to anything Christian, which is a shame because as I understand it, the fact that non-Christians are exposed to Christian values substantively in eating delicious chicken is a huge thing. As I understand it, part of how America became communist was Communists inflitrating Hollywood - of course, their values couldn't sell movies outright; but by making quality movies that subtly pushed their values, they were able to gain more clout and be more explicit, and here we are today! Anyway we'll still eat your chicken, because the public story remains the same for most people, which is part of why the LGBT activists will keep hounding you.

I've eaten at the faux Frisch's that dares call itself Shoney's and it is not the same food. Incidentally, I'm in SC now and at one of our little downtown stores in Spartanburg, there's a shop that has an authentic Big Boy statue they display outside during the day.

OK, the guy who said that was just around one century before the Enlightenment, so you can go to hell; also, he was a devout Christian trying to describe the relationship between mind and God -- did you know that? -- and the movement you are describing did not in any way arise from his school of thought. You do not know, "literally," the first thing about what your are shitting yourself through here. What in the world is wrong with you?

492 The problem is that in the original bizdev story, Dan Cathy specifically said they were abandoning organizations that don't fit in with the communities they are trying to reach, or something close to that. They are backpeddling now, but the original intent was to appease the LBGTQP(2) "community," such as it is.

I closed my CFA one app account, and will stop going out of my way to go there. It will take several years for their profits to be destroyed, however, because the LGBTQP(2) folks won't make up for the lost sales to conservatives... Over time, however, they will blame it on "something else," rather than this decision, and the cycle of cave more/demand more it kicks off.

One thing is this -- the institutional church has caved so hard that they have a lot of theological cover to back them up at this point. We are getting to the point where the part of the Church that actually reads the Bible and cares what it says is shrinking to a shadow of its former self. Seminaries are either going full woke (ALL the SBC seminaries), or outright failing. The future of the Bible reading Church is America is bleak, Kanye or not.
