Chick-fil-A denies capitulating to LGBT activists; Christian groups won't be excluded from donations
[ChristianPost] The Christian Post reached out to Chick-fil-A Monday, asking them to respond to the criticisms that they were compromising their principles in order to appease their ideological opponents.

“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 hunger, homelessness and education. We have also proactively disclosed our 2018 tax filing and a preview of 2019 gifts to date on chick-fil-afoundation.org. The intent of charitable giving from the Chick-fil-A Foundation is to nourish the potential in every child,” a Chick fil-A representative said in a statement emailed to CP Monday.

"Our goal is to donate to the most effective organizations in the areas of education, homelessness and hunger. No organization will be excluded from future consideration – faith-based or non-faith based," the spokesperson said, noting "I also wanted to add that Chick-fil-A will not be opening on Sundays."

According to an exclusive from BisNow Monday, Chick-fil-A was shifting away from its current philanthropic structure to refocus their giving on other causes, specifically education, homelessness and hunger, and would no longer be donating to groups like the Salvation Army, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and the Paul Anderson Youth Home.

#3 We on the Right sometimes react as quickly as those on the Left. We need to encourage each other to use the 24 hour rule.

#4 If there is one organization that has historically worked to -

...working exclusively in the areas of hunger, homelessness and education.

it would be the Salvation Army. Sorry excuse of surrender to the LGBT radicals, a loud but very small group that promotes intolerance of Christians. Like any radicals in any movement they give everyone a bad name. Chick just empowered them.

That's LGBTQWERTY, you exclusionist h8ter!

I can't help but wonder whether this is fake news or if the suits at corporate are really bailing on the Salvation Army. A sad day if the latter.

#6 All the whining that it's a sell out grates on me. They are a big business and they have to play the game as it is currently being played. The owners of the company can still donate to any charity they want, and there are ways to do it without being in the news.

#7 Question, somebody, ANYBODY? Why do the producers of 'Wheel of Fortune' the most successful game show running, continue to insist on LGBTQ contestants (mostly male) on nearly every fok'n segment ?

#9 Are the contestants really real ? I thought they were fake.

"Your turn to be the crossdressing loon this time, Brad."

"Man, they've already seen me on Sex Island !"

"You were in the background, like for 3 seconds."

#10 B - you watch HGTV much? Their shows are very inclusive. And I don't mind that. What I fuss about is that so many participants are out of the old, antiquated, so-twentieth-century 'mainstream'. Just like Wheel, Mrs. Bobby's favorite show.
