Chick-fil-A has issued a second announcement trying to walk back the dunderheaded move they made as implicated below. In a mushy statement they are now saying they will give to all groups without prejudice that are engaged in their charitable focus. We are wondering what that actually means. The damage has been done to their organization. The leadership has been exposed as craven.

Lesson a CEO should not need: Yes the sky will fall if you insult and abandon established loyal customers
This is how a free, open, prosperous society dies. The radical left is demonstrating how a sound economic system is ‘transformed’…one cowardly, groveling, unprincipled CEO at a time.
Despite overwhelming support from most Americans, remarkable success in the marketplace, deafening praise for their devotion to principle, and even with commitment to honest treatment of customers and employees, this company was forced to abandon all that its founder stood for.
And what great American institution, founded on moral principles and service to the poor and needy will be next?
The Salvation Army, we expect. Despite courageous leadership, this great institution will be starved of donor support at the hands of the LGBTQ creeps. dlh
LGBTQ groups still unhappy with Chick-fil-A: ‘Further transparency is needed’
By Jessica Chasmar – The Washington Times – Tuesday, November 19, 2019
LGBTQ activists are still unhappy with Chick-fil-A after the fast-food chain announced Monday it was ending donations to The Salvation Army and other Christian charities following years of backlash.
Chick-fil-A caused a stir after announcing it would no longer donate to Fellowship of Christian Athletes, The Salvation Army or Paul Anderson Youth Homes following years of criticism for donating to faith-based groups that support traditional marriage. The move sparked the ire of conservatives, who accused the chicken chain of caving to the outrage mob, but it turns out liberals aren’t exactly satisfied with the news either.
“Chick-fil-A Still Isn’t LGBTQ-Friendly, Despite Pledge on Donations,” reads a headline by The Advocate magazine. “Remember, Chick-fil-A isn’t LGBTQ-friendly yet,” reads another by LGBTQ Nation.
The Human Rights Campaign, the largest LGBTQ advocacy group in the U.S., wants Chick-fil-A to update its corporate anti-discrimination policy to also include protections for people based on sexual orientation and gender identity.
“At HRC, we always encourage companies to ensure that their giving is in line with LGBTQ-inclusive values,” Beck Bailey, director of workplace equality at the HRC Foundation, told The Advocate. “And while this is an important step for Chick-fil-A, the company still does not have workplace protections and policies that are fully inclusive of LGBTQ people. We look forward to the day when Chick-fil-A’s commitment to welcoming all is reflected in their workplace policies and practices by including explicit sexual orientation and gender identity nondiscrimination protections.”
Chick fil a will begin to lose sales. Conservatives will quit making a point of patronizing them, the left will continue to hate them.
