Why Are You Still Eating at Chik-Fil-A?

Equality Matters reports:

In early 2011, Chick-fil-A came under fire for its donations and political ties to a number of anti-gay groups. Though Chick-fil-A continues to deny supporting an anti-gay agenda, the company has donated over $3 million to organizations like the Family Research Council and Exodus International between 2003 and 2009. And in 2010 alone, Chick-fil-A donated over $1.9 million to anti-gay causes, more than any other year for which public records are available.

The bulk of the 2010 donations came in a $1.2M grant to the Marriage & Family Foundation. Another $500K went to the Fellowship For Christian Athletes, who requires applicants to sign their Sexual Purity Pledge:

God desires His children to lead pure lives of holiness. The Bible is clear in teaching on sexual sin including sex outside of marriage and homosexual acts. Neither heterosexual sex outside of marriage nor any homosexual act constitute an alternate lifestyle acceptable to God. While upholding God's standard of holiness, FCA strongly affirms God's love and redemptive power in the individual who chooses to follow Him. FCA's desire is to encourage individuals to trust in Jesus and turn away from any impure lifestyle.

  1. As Mike in Studio City said so well, there are none here, nor will there be.
    If no other reason than they are too cheap to afford the real estate.
    There is a location in Northridge, but if you have a chicken fix, go to Costco, or KFC (Kentucky For Christ), or any plan B which might come to mind or tastebud.
    I have eaten there once, just to find out what it is all about, and must say, WTF!
    Why would anyone really care to eat that stuff?

  2. We have never been in a Chik-Fil-A. There are also none in our area. Hopefully they know they aren't welcome.

  3. I think I've eaten at their restaurant a couple of times, before it became so widely known how anti-gay they are. Their ad campaigns are amusing, at least. Unfortunately I still know some gay people who eat there, and one gay person who works there. Somehow they rationalize it in their brain, but I don't foreign to understand how. *shakes head*
