Chick-fil-A Partners With Rabid Anti-Gay Group

You might like the tasty pickles that they put on their chicken sandwiches, but if you're eating at Chick-fil-A, you're also eating at an establishment that partners with some of the most ferocious anti-gay groups around.

Take a look at an event scheduled for February 2011, co-sponsored by Chick-fil-A and the Pennsylvania Family Institute, the leading anti-gay group in the Keystone State and a group that has worked hard to try and pass a constitutional amendment in Pennsylvania banning same-sex marriage.

The February event co-sponsored by Chick-fil-A is called "The Art of Marriage," and it's intended to be a launching point for Pennsylvania to return to "the biblical definition of marriage." Given the work of the Pennsylvania Family Institute, it's hard not to see where this event is going to go -- straight for the jugular of anyone who supports marriage equality for same-sex couples.

The Pennsylvania Family Institute has been a leading opponent of marriage equality, and has condemned the expansion of civil rights for same-sex couples. Speaking to the Philadelphia Inquirer, the group's president, Michael Geer, said that gay marriage is not moral, and should be put up for a vote rather than decided by courts or legislatures.

Chick-Fil-A Vanishes From Anti-Gay Event




Sharp-eyed JMG reader Steven notes that Chick-Fil-A has mysteriously vanished from the site that only hours ago trumpeted their sponsorship of next month's event by the anti-gay Pennsylvania Family Institute. This change comes less than 24 hours after Good As You alerted the gay blogosphere that the famously "traditional values" oriented company was aligning with another hate group. The company, whose mission statement says they "exist to glorify God," has been a major contributor to Focus On The Family for many years.

UPDATE: The company has issued the below tweet.

but Good As You has an update on this at their site.

Thanks! :hi:

but it might be for other people.

seems like anti-gay is right in their philosophy.

But right wing christian and hate for gays is often correlated.
I quit eating at chic fil a when I first heard about the Sunday deal.

It's not like it was hidden. Their hours are on the door.

boycotted them and domino's (whose founder, tom monaghan, started that catholic town in florida . . . rabid anti-abortionist) for years. i won't buy hate. i guess i should let up on domino's, however, since monaghan sold his controlling stake in the company. habits are hard to shake.

Seriously - thanks for the info since Domino's is the only outfit that will delver to my son's address! Pizza goes down better without the guilt!

That guy doesn't even make sense within the confines of his own thought process.

If gay marriage is not moral, then why does he think it should be put up for a vote?

I buy one now and then.
Honestly I try to pay attention to all the haters and not give a dime..but once in awhile I ll have to be out of the house and have a blood sugar drop and at least I won't be sick for days after like i would be from other fast food chains.

They'll never know you sometimes buy their product!

I've eaten there once in 20 years. Food costs too much and it's the same crap every other fast food place sells.

I knew they hated us years ago
