Chick-fil-A caves to pressure and decides to stop funding anti-LGBT groups.

"The support that Todd and I show for this restaurant's homophobic policies will ensure that they continue forever. Wait, what just happened?"

The conservative fried chicken restaurant chain Chick-fil-A has agreed to stop funding groups opposing rights for LGBT people, some of which have been labeled as hate groups. 

A press release from The Civil Rights Agenda (TCRA) said that Chick-fil-A had confirmed to Chicago Alderman Proco “Joe” Moreno that its nonprofit, the WinShape Foundation, would no longer donate money to anti-LGBT organizations. 

“The WinShape Foundations [sic] is now taking a much closer look at the organizations it considers helping, and in that process will remain true to its stated philosophy of not supporting organizations with political agendas,” the letter stated. 

TCRA noted that the company had clarified that groups like Focus on the Family and the National Organization for Marriage would cut off from future donations. 

In a memo, Chick-fil-A executives have also told franchisees and stakeholders that the company’s policy is to “treat every person with honor, dignity and respect-regardless of their beliefs, race, creed, sexual orientation and gender,” and the “intent is not to engage in political or social debates.” Those guidelines were included in a document titled “Chick-fil-A: Who We Are.”

I just love it when good triumphs over stupidity.

You know there was this one irritating little asshat that kept visiting here and leaving the comment, "So how is that boycott of Chick-fil-A going for you faggots?"

I always rejected that comment because I did not want to get douchebag all over my blog, but now I think it is time to answer that question:

"Pretty good actually. Oh, and by the way, only closeted homophobes believe that people who support LGBT rights have to be gay."
