    Chick-fil-A Surrenders to LGBT Bullies - Todd Starnes

    Chick-fil-A announced it will no longer donate money to the Salvation Army or the Fellowship of Christian Athletes or any other organization that holds anti-LGBT beliefs.

    Bisnow reports that the Atlanta-based restaurant chain will focus on charitable giving to organizations that are involved in education, homelessness and hunger.

    "There's no question we know that, as we go into new markets, we need to be clear about who we are," Chick-fil-A President and COO Tim Tassopoulos said in an exclusive interview with Bisnow. "There are lots of articles and newscasts about Chick-fil-A, and we thought we needed to be clear about our message."

    Bisnow reports Salvation Army and Fellowship of Christian Athletes will no longer receive CFA donations. Instead, the Chick-fil-A Foundation will give millions of dollars to groups like Junior Achievement USA and Covenant House International, an organization that recently boasted about being LGBT compliant.

    "Future partners could include faith-based and non-faith-based charities, but the company said none of the organizations have anti-LGBT positions," the website reported.

    Salvation Army released a statement to AJC.com saying they do not nor have they ever discriminated against the LGBT community.

    "We're saddened to learn that a corporate partner has felt it necessary to divert funding to other hunger, education and homelessness organizations, areas in which The Salvation Army, as the largest social services provider in the world, is already fully committed," the statement read.

    After years of defending Chick-fil-A, many Conservative Christians felt betrayed and deeply wounded that the restaurant chain would turn its back on the values of its founder.

    Gov. Mike Huckabee, who promoted Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day in 2012, accused Chick-fil-A of selling out.

    "I now regret that I did it and that I invited your participation," Huckabee wrote in a letter to supporters. I wonder how long before they go ahead and open on Sundays? Might as well. Or just change their name to 'Ichabod Chicken Sandwiches.'"

    So don't be surprised if your local Chick-fil-A hosts a Sunday morning Drag Queen Story Hour with gender-fluid bovines wearing feather boas and stiletto hooves.

    "...even though sales have doubled since liberal boycotts began emerging in 2012."

    That one fact there is why I can't imagine they would ever capitulate if indeed they have. I still can't tell what's going on from the articles.

    But, from the exclusive article, anything they change seems to have to do with the problem they're having expanding. I guess you always need another billion in your pocket.

    I've been reading a lot of conflicting things.

    Two points:

    1. It's disappointing. The worst corporate decision since the "new Coke." But I think it's a harbinger of things to come. I guess we shouldn't be surprised at who falls next. This is the road to the end times. It will be filled with shocking surprises. Prepare in prayer.

    2. I really resent that we've allowed the media to label Christians as "anti-gay." A Christian is the best friend a gay man or woman can have. They'll pray for you, help you overcome, and generally be there for you in a way that the LBGT crowd never will. We MUST put a positive (and true) spin on the church's position on homosexuality. We are available to help, not condemn. As I've said before, if your church has no passion for the souls of homosexuals, don't preach against it. Instead, pray for that burden and go out and reach them in love. I could tell you some hair-raising stories about my friend, Robert, who has had more than 3000 gay "encounters." Now he leads hurting gay men to the Lord with his church's support. We need more Roberts!
