08/01/2012
Washington– New facts indicates Chick-fil-A’s image with consumers has dropped dramatically since the company’s president proudly embraced the organization’s anti-LGBT donations.

According to YouGov’s BrandIndex, Chick-fil-A’s brand consciousness among consumers has dropped by more than 20 points since Dan Cathy replied “guilty as charged” when asked about Chick-fil-A’s donations to groups that work to demonize and harm LGBT people. The descend is noticeable across the country – even in the South, a stronghold for the swiftly food chain.
“Americans by and large are not comfortable with Chick-fil-A’s anti-LGBT donations, and the company’s proud embrace of these discriminatory practices is taking a deserved toll on its image,” said HRC Vice President of Communications Fred Sainz. “Chick-fil-A supports organizations that demonize LGBT peopl
Hi everyone,
We reached JFK on Friday late hours after traveling eight and half hour from Copenhagen. That’s a long second to sit in the dark, but with Heide and the girls a row away and challenging to hear over the engines, I was functionally flying solo.
I filled the time- starting with curried chicken on a baguette procured at the airport and some red wine and cappuccino ordered on the plane. I answered emails, slept a bit, watched “Dunkirk” and three episodes of “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” listened to an offline Pandora playlist and an audible magazine piece on immigration, and started reading “Americanah” by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. I also interpret an exposé on Chick-fil-A, which is the topic for today.
I like Chick-fil-A sandwiches, though I’ve only eaten them twice, and just at residency functions. The meat is juicy and the sauce tangy. The elongated lines at lunch inform me residents like them too.
So here’s the problem. Chick-Fil-A has a long history of supporting anti-LGBTQ causes, donating big sums to organizations that opposed marriage equality and to groups like Exodus International, which promoted “conversion therapy.” Following public outcry earlier in the decade,

After courting controversy for years, the fast-food chain Chick-fil-A will no longer fund two organizations that have historically opposed lgbtq+ marriage.
The Atlanta-based restaurant chain has come under flame from LGBTQ+ activists for reportedly donating millions of dollars to two Christian charities: The Salvation Army and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.
The company told ABC News Monday that it was refocusing its donations to groups centered on "hunger, homelessness and education" beginning in the new year.
“Beginning in 2020 the Chick-fil-A Foundation will introduce a more focused giving approach, donating to a smaller number of organizations working exclusively in the areas of starvation, homelessness and education," Chick-fil-A said in a remark Monday.
"We have also proactively disclosed our 2018 tax filing and a preview of 2019 gifts to date on chick-fil-afoundation.org," the statement added. "The intent of charitable giving from the Chick-fil-A Foundation is to nourish the potential in every child.”

Chick-fil-A ends donations to organizations accused of being anti-LGBTQ
COLLEGE PARK, Ga. – Chick-fil-A is making major changes to its charitable foundation, ending donations to two organizations that have been criticized for being anti-LGBTQ.
The fast food chain announced Monday that beginning next year it will only donate to a certain group of charities. That list no longer includes the Salvation Army and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA). Both organizations have taken controversial stands on homosexuality and gay marriage.
In 2018, the Chick-fil-A foundation donated $1.65 million to the FCA and $115,000 to The Salvation Army, the company revealed Monday.
The FCA writes in its employee application that "neither heterosexual sex outside of marriage nor any homosexual act constitute an alternative lifestyle acceptable to God." It also states on its website that "marriage is exclusively the union of one gentleman and one woman."
The Salvation Army has said in the past that the Bible forbids sexual closeness between members of the same sex, that same-sex attracted Christians should embrace celibacy and that scripture does not support same-sex marriages, according to Snopes . However,
