Chick-fil-A Grantee Covenant House Hosted Drag Queen Story Hour

DR. SUSAN BERRY 4 Dec 2019

Fast-food chain Chick-fil-A continues to be mired in controversy after the discovery of its donations to the far-left Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) and also Covenant House, an organization that celebrates LGBTQ pride and hosted a Drag Queen Story Hour in New York.

On November 18, the restaurant that had received the praise and support of Christians for what appeared to be its courage to stand up for the biblical foundations of marriage and sexuality, announced it was changing direction.

“Starting in 2020, the Chick-fil-A Foundation is introducing a more focused giving approach to provide additional clarity and impact with the causes it supports,” the announcement read.

It was revealed that Chick-fil-A would be ending its support for the Salvation Army – considered by many to be the premier organization for helping the homeless and hungry – and giving, instead, to Covenant House International, an organization that helps homeless youth but clearly celebrates LGBTQ pride.

“Pride is all about love, acceptance, celebration,” Covenant House states. “It’s also about recognizing the challenges and injustices that the LGBTQ community faces – particularly when it comes to homelessness.”

In an op-ed at USA Today Wednesday, JP Duffy, vice president of communications at the Family Research Council, recalled his first job at Chick-fil-A, and his boss’s explanation of founder Truett Cathy’s vision of having a company that honors God.

“In that conversation, I began to experience what it means to live out one’s faith in the workplace,” Duffy wrote. “I knew I signed up to do more than sell chicken. That was the first of many such conversations over the next three years.”

“Those family conversations have changed dramatically recently,” Duffy said, however, since the recent announcement by Chick-fil-A COO Tim Tassopoulos that the company was moving in a different direction.

“There’s no question we know that, as we go into new markets, we need to be clear about who we are,” Tassopoulos said. “There are lots of articles and newscasts about Chick-fil-A, and we thought we needed to be clear about our message.”

Duffy said it is painful to watch Chick-fil-A follow the same trajectory of other corporations attempting to adopt a politically correct attitude. Duffy continued:

In 2016, Chick-fil-A’s board selected a new president, Tim Tassopoulos, who is a member of an advisory board for a Boy Scouts council (which has changed the name of its 11- to 17-year-olds program to Scouts BSA). The Scouts BSA has abandoned many of its values in recent years and has never looked back, even as the organization apparently moves closer to bankruptcy.

Duffy said “the biggest shock” was the discovery that Chick-fil-A has donated to SPLC, a group that labels Christian individuals and groups as “haters.” According to Duffy:

This is the same group that, in 2012, inspired a gunman to storm into the headquarters of my organization, the Family Research Council, and attempt to murder my colleagues and me and smash Chick-fil-A sandwiches on our faces.

That day I saw our building manager, Leo Johnson, covered in blood as he was rushed into an ambulance. Despite being seriously wounded, Leo heroically tackled the gunman, saving many lives.

The domestic terrorist shooter, Floyd Corkins, told the FBI he had picked the Family Research Council as a target from the Southern Poverty Law Center’s website. He was angered by the Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day held recently, in which huge crowds lined up at Chick-fil-A’s restaurants to show support for its president, Dan Cathy, who had expressed support for marriage defined as between a man and woman.

Duffy praised the businesses that have held their courage and fought to practice their faith beliefs in the marketplace – Hobby Lobby and Jack Phillips’ Masterpiece Cakeshop are just two he mentioned.

“Religious freedom is the right to live out your faith in every area of life, including the workplace,” Duffy said. “But that freedom is under assault. We can defend this freedom by exercising it. However, that requires courage, which comes through a relationship with God and reverence for his Word.”
 
My advise for any company is to try as much as possible to stay away from politics. Don't donate to left, right or centre orgs and be as neutral as possible when you have to donate.
 
This whole "drag queen story hour" is so sick and unbelievable that it boggles the mind to figure out how it ever became acceptable or even somewhat common.

If one of those perverts began masturbating before their young audience, I would be surprised if any repercussions of any sort were to befall the stropping vermin.
 
honestly, their food is bland


and they support terrorist (splc) so an "FU" to d-ick fill-A

They flash their dicks to the kids and nobody does a fucking thing...

By itself it might be bland, but their spicy chicken sandwich is pretty good, and they have the best dipping sauces.

But ya, no way in hell I'm going there if they are giving $$ to SPLC.
 
Yeah its really sad when businesses have to cater to the whim of liberals.

This may be a get woke, go broke situation.

I have a feeling their sales are going to plummet.

They already have a bad reputation with the left. This isn't going to change things much for them. But now their target market, Christians and conservatives on the right, they are going to leave in droves.
 
It's really a shame too, Kanye's new album "Jesus is King" that just came out had a love song dedicated to Chik-fil-a

"Closed on Sunday.. you my Chik-fil-a..

You're my number 1... with the lemonade.."

Doubtful. I just had a new Chick-Fil-A open a few days ago by me and cars were wrapped around the building at 9:00 PM last night. I won't be able to get close to it without a substantial wait for a good month. As long as they aren't putting out commercials about toxic masculinity, hardly anyone will know or care what charities they are donating to.

The effect will be there but it will be delayed. I think only those of us who are "plugged in" are getting the whole story. Remember, most of the people you know think Epstein killed himself and are busy watching the impeachment circus.

It'll take a few months for various Christian groups to get the word out that we're done with Chick-Fil-A. The problem isn't that it won't happen... the problem is it'll be blamed on everything else under the sun except the obvious.
 


To be fair, there are more examplary models too:

EM.

This direction change appears to be another MAGA win:

Trump admin. launches global effort to end criminalization of homosexuality

Biased media won't give him credit for this but Trump with his recent global campaigns has proven to be the strongest POTUS in entire US history who has single handidly free'd GOP from the clutches of old-fashioned Biblical Christian conservatives base.
