A Chick-fil-A opened its doors on the outside edge of (gay-mecca) Wilton Manors<\/a>, Florida in December 2014. I was shocked and confused because there was no grassroots resistance to be seen leading up to the restaurant opening and no protesting outside. Actually, hundreds of people camped out<\/a> the night before so they would be the first inside on Opening Day. I went on with my errands, assuming Chick-fil-A must had apologized to the LGBT community and the boycott had ended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, Think Progress<\/em> reports the company’s 2017 tax filings show that the Chick-fil-A Foundation donated more than $1.8 million to three groups with anti-LGBTQ policies<\/a>, continuing the fast food restaurant\u2019s long tradition of anti-LGBT giving despite claiming to have no political or social agenda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company publicly opposed same-sex marriage and donated millions to anti-LGBTQ groups before claiming in 2012 that it had \u201cceased donating<\/a>\u00a0to organizations that promote discrimination, specifically against LGBT civil rights.\u201d But 2015 tax returns showed that its foundation had given more than $1.3 million to the above mentioned groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
