Company president Dan Cathy said this week that his company is “guilty as charged.” In an interview with the Baptist Press, Cathy said Chick-Fil-A is “very much supportive of the family - the biblical definition of the family unit. We are a family-owned business, a family-led business, and we are married to our first wives. We give God thanks for that.” The chain, founded in 1946 by Cathy’s father, S. Truett Cathy, donated a total of $2 million to anti-gay groups including the Marriage & Family Foundation and the Family Research Council in 2010, according to Business Insider. Chick-Fil-A gave another $2 million to many of the same organizations in 2009. The donations, made through the company’s charity organization, WinShape, prompted Boston’s Northeastern University to scrap plans for a Chick-Fil-A on its campus earlier this year. Despite a corporate statement declaring that the purpose of Chick-Fil-A is “to glorify God by being a faithful steward of all that is entrusted to us,” Cathy told the Baptist Press that it isn’t a Christian business. Christianity “is about a personal relationship,” he said. “Companies are not lost or saved, but certainly individuals are. But as an organization we can operate on biblical principles.” Read more: Chick-Fil-A cops to being anti-gay: ‘guilty as charged’ says company presidentÂ* - NY Daily News Say what you want but i gives less than a !! cuz the chick-fil-a nuggets with Polynesian sauce be on point [pic] [pic] and the sandwiches with waffle fries FTW [pic] Only thing i dont like is that they not open late or on Sundays...lol |

| No !!, they are a very religious company. They aren't even open on Sundays for gods sake. This should be common knowledge and they have never tried to hide it. They donate a lot to "pro-family" (ie anti-gay) organizations. I support gay rights but Chick-Fil-A is getting ate no matter what, I don't give a damn | |

| I'm not gay but i live with a gay person and I dont see it as a problem as long as they aren't spewing anti-gay messages. Being Pro-heterosecksual and being anti-gay are two totally different things. You can be against homosecksuality without being an !! and i dont think they have ever done anything i would consider over the line. | |
