Chick-Fil-A attacked as homphobic. Really? Oh yes...really...
The attack by the egalitarian secular humanists continues. Their latest frontal assault on American morality is being bolstered by the homosexual left who opposes any form of morality or religion other than the worship of homosexuality.
Chik filet needs the continued support of the moral majority of Americans and I intend to do my part to support them.
According to a Baptist Press report,
the company has been at the center of controversy on at least nine
campuses, including Duke University, Northeastern University, and New
York University (NYU). Students who want to see the restaurant kicked off campus or
blocked from coming point to its donations to conservative Christian
charities as evidence of its “anti-gay” agenda. According to IRS documents,
WinShape, a charitable foundation funded by the company, funneled about
$2 million to groups such as the Marriage & Family Legacy Fund,
Focus on the Family, Exodus International, and the Family Research
Council in 2009. These donations, say NYU freshman Hillary Dworkoski, show that
the restaurant is out of sync with her university’s “open and inclusive
campus.” “Maintaining a contract with an anti-gay vendor like Chick-fil-A
undermines what makes this university so great,” she wrote, in a
Change.org petition asking the school to give the fast food chain the
boot. Dworkoski, a bi-sexual, acknowledges that the Student Senators
Council recently voted against removing vendors for “political reasons,”
but argues that the school still allows the removal of companies that
“violate human or labor rights.” “As Secretary Clinton recently announced, ‘gay rights are human
rights, and human rights are gay rights,’” she writes. “As such, I
respectfully request that NYU remove Chick-fil-A from campus.” The petition has garnered over 11,000 signatures, and may have
been the inspiration for a recent prank in which two men accompanied by a
person in a cow costume distributed a fake flier on the school’s campus
advertising employment opportunities at the restaurant. The flier warns that applicants should “be prepared to discuss
your religion, family history, personal relationships etc upon
interviewing,” and that “anyone living in sin need not apply.” A Youtube videoby
the distributors of the fliers shows one man telling bystanders that
Chick-Fil-A is offering a special deal where customers can “trade in”
their homosexuality for a free chicken sandwich. The company fired back against the pranksters last week, writing
on its facebook wall that the flier “was not created or distributed by
any Chick-fil-A Restaurant,” and that “Chick-fil-A serves all of our
customers, team members and potential team members with the utmost
honor, dignity and respect.” Dan Cathy, President and COO of Chick-Fil-A, Inc., also responded
to the controversy in a statement last month, saying that the company
had “no agenda against anyone.” “At the heart and soul of our company, we are a family business
that serves and values all people regardless of their beliefs or
opinions,” Cathy wrote. ‘‘While my family and I believe in the Biblical
definition of marriage, we love and respect anyone who disagrees.” He
also said that the company did not “champion any political agendas on
marriage and family,” but would “continue to offer resources to
strengthen marriages and families.”
