evidence: I first learned about Chick-fil-A’s funding of organizations with anti-LGBTQ agendas when I was in college, around 2007. Between 2003 and 2009, the company donated more than $3 million to Christian organizations with histories of homophobic programming. After bad press, Chick-fil-A’s leadership said the company would stop such support, but it continued. In 2017, the Chick-fil-A Foundation donated more than $1.8 million to three groups with histories of anti-LGBTQ discrimination, including Exodus International, a nonprofit that supported the abusive practice of conversion therapy. The debate rages on. Chick-fil-A leadership in 2020 claimed the company would "change its philanthropic giving model," but offered no clear message about whether this change will mean a halt in support of homophobic organizations. And whether or not the company fulfills this promise, as long as its leaders stay commited to "traditional family values," meaning the conservative Christian ideal of heterosexuality, we can assume their money will be funneled — publicly or privately — toward organizations that support this vision. [...] In 2012, Truett’s son, Dan Cathy, who was then Chick-fil-A’s chief operating officer and is now its chairman, went on the record to say he opposed legalizing gay marriage. Political leaders and business owners from Boston to California called for a boycott.
