Chick-fil-A Caves: Will No Longer Support Salvation Army and Others
For years Chick-Fil-A has been hounded by protesters that detest the company’s support of organizations that they find at odds with the LGBT movement. Among the charities in question are the Salvation Army, the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and the Paul Anderson Youth Home. Chick-fil-A management has pushed back, noting that it supports great causes that achieve great outcomes, but as the fast-food chain expands across the nation and internationally, the pressure became too much.
“There’s no question we know that, as we go into new markets, we need to be clear about who we are. There are lots of articles and newscasts about Chick-fil-A, and we thought we needed to be clear about our message.”
