In
early 2011, Chick-fil-A came under fire for its donations and political
ties to a number of anti-gay groups. Though Chick-fil-A continues to
deny supporting an anti-gay agenda, the company has donated over $3
million to organizations like the Family Research Council and Exodus
International between 2003 and 2009. And in 2010 alone, Chick-fil-A
donated over $1.9 million to anti-gay causes, more than any other year
for which public records are available.
The bulk
of the 2010 donations came in a $1.2M grant to the Marriage & Family
Foundation. Another $500K went to the Fellowship For Christian
Athletes, who requires applicants to sign their Sexual Purity Pledge:
God
desires His children to lead pure lives of holiness. The Bible is clear
in teaching on sexual sin including sex outside of marriage and
homosexual acts. Neither heterosexual sex outside of marriage nor any
homosexual act constitute an alternate lifestyle acceptable to God.
While upholding God’s standard of holiness, FCA strongly affirms God’s
love and redemptive power in the individual who chooses to follow Him.
FCA’s desire is to encourage individuals to trust in Jesus and turn away
from any impure lifestyle.
