Fast food chain Chick-Fil-A has been accused of being anti-gay for supporting organizations such as Focus on the Family, which oppose gay marriage.

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.”

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.

Blunt. I like it. It's their restaurant. They can run it how they see fit. They can support whomever they choose etc etc. It's THEIR views.

never ate there but heard its good as hell lol. I just dont understand from a business stand point why someone would say this, if i owned a business and hated gay people id just stay quiet, who wants that negative press, and gay people still have money lol.
