AFTER picking up the phone and calling Chick-fil-A’s CEO Dan Cathy to find out whether Chick-Fil-A has abandoned is faith-based principles, US evangelist Franklin Graham said he was satisfied that the food chain ‘remains committed to Christian values’.

This, insists Mat Staver, above, founder and Chairman of Liberty Counsel is wrong, wrong, WRONG!
In a LifeSiteNews piece authored by “non-practising” homosexual Doug Mainwaring, Staver says the truth is that Cathy had effectively lied to Graham and that the company was on a leftist, pro-gay trajectory – and has been for some time.
While Dan Cathy may say the company has the same values, the company’s statements and actions tell a different story. Franklin, you have done a huge disservice by not doing more investigation into Chick-fil-A’s betrayal and capitulation to the LGBT agenda.
Staver pointed out CFA is donating money to Covenant House, which he described as:
A radical LGBTQ activist organization that celebrates homosexuality, transgenderism, and the entire LGBTQ agenda. Covenant House also proudly supports the New York City Gay Pride parade with its own float, banners, t-shirts, and hastag #CovUnity. Covenant House is recognized as a national funder of LGBTQ causes. And Covenant House does not stop at LGBTQ activism; it also takes girls to abortion clinics.
CFA this month revealed that Covenant House had received $225,000 in 2018 in support of national and local programmes (in California and Georgia) that support youth facing homelessness. The Chick-fil-A Foundation has since committed to a significant partnership with Covenant House in 2020.
And for the record, Covenant House – a Catholic charity – is not “a radical LGBTQ activist organisation”. According to this report:
While Covenant House is not an LGBTQ organization, any institution serving homeless young adults is aware that anywhere from 20 to 40 percent of their clients are LGBTQ.
Its President Kevin Ryan said:
There are more LGBTQ young people sleeping under a Covenant House roof than any other entity, because we are in six countries.
Staver thundered on:
To save its own corporate skin, Chick-fil-A has thrown good, biblical, organizations under the bus and legitimized the false narrative of the LGBT activists. Chick-fil-A voluntarily surrendered to gain entrance into more liberal communities. In doing so, the company has caused incredible damage to the greater Christian community.

Enter Tony Perkins, above, President of the Family Research Council (FRC) – and another crazy homophobe. He is quoted as saying:
To a lot of Americans, the company’s decision to walk away from years of biblical truth is upsetting. To us, it’s personal.
And conservative author and radio host Todd Starnes revealed this week that Chick-fil-A’s corporate headquarters had forbidden two book-signing events that local CFA franchise owners had planned to host for Starnes at their restaurants.
Starnes said he had previously kept quiet about the troubling intervention by Chick-fil-A executives but now feels free to tell the story because it further reflects on the company’s “change in values.”
Starnes kicked off his piece by saying:
There have been quiet whispers in the conservative movement for quite some time that Chick-fil-A had moved to the far left of the political chicken coop.
Mainwaring concluded:
Though a few have accused LifeSiteNews and certain members of the Catholic blogosphere as having ‘rushed to judgment’ regarding CFA’s move, a closer look at its history reveals that the kick-in-the-gut betrayal felt by so many this week has actually been a slow-motion betrayal rolled out over time.
And in what suspiciously sounds like call to Christians to start boycotting CFA, Mainwaring added:
Chick-fil-A’s recipe for expansion as it tries to spread into Canada and the U.K. is proving not only to be poison for its most loyal customers. Perhaps it is a form of corporate suicide.
On the other hand, thousands of members of LGBT communities who have boycotted the chain for years may fill the void left by pissed-off faith-heads and the company will continue to thrive, as do other enterprises that proudly embrace tolerance and inclusivity.
