( CNN ) -- A Chicago alderman says Chick-fil-A 's president is publicly contradicting what company executives personally assured him for months -- that the fast-food chain is changing its stance on gay marriage -- and he asked the company Sunday to clarify . Alderman Joe Moreno made news last week when he announced Chick-fil-A has ceased making donations to anti-gay groups and has enacted workplace protections for its employees against discrimination .

Friday , however , company President Dan Cathy denied the company has ceased making donations to groups that oppose gay marriage and said Chick-fil-A `` made no such concessions . '' `` There continues to be erroneous implications in the media that Chick-fil-A changed our practices and priorities in order to obtain permission for a new restaurant in Chicago , '' Cathy said in a statement to Mike Huckabee , the former Republican presidential candidate who now runs a conservative website . `` That is incorrect . '' Moreno said Sunday that Cathy 's statement `` at the least , muddied the progress we had made with Chick-fil-A and , at the worst , contradicted the documents and promises Chick-fil-A made to me and the community earlier this month . '' Moreno said Chick-fil-A executives gave him a letter earlier this year saying the company 's non-profit arm , the WinShape Foundation , will not support organizations with political agendas . `` We were told that these organizations included groups that politically work against the rights of gay and lesbian people , '' Moreno said . He said the executives confirmed to him that both the foundation and the company in 2012 has not given money and will not give money to those groups . Cathy 's conflicting statement , Moreno said Sunday , is `` disturbing . '' `` I am simply asking Mr. Cathy to confirm statements and documents that HIS company executives provided to me , '' Moreno said in a written statement , capitalizing `` his '' for emphasis . Chicken , with a side of politics . `` It 's pretty simple , Mr. Cathy . Do you acknowledge and support the policies that your executives outlined to me in writing or do you not ? Yes or no ? '' the statement added . Chick-fil-A , whose restaurants are closed on Sundays , did not immediately respond to a request for comment . While the company has never hidden its conservative principles , Cathy caused an uproar in July when , in an interview with the Baptist Press , he said the company supports `` the biblical definition of the family unit . '' The interview brought attention to donations the company made to organizations some activists said were anti-gay . Gay rights activists and others denounced the company and promised a boycott , while others vowed to support the company . Huckabee suggested a `` Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day '' and thousands turned out to show their support . Moreno said Sunday he has yet to introduce legislation for the new Chick-fil-A restaurant in his ward and will wait for Cathy 's response before moving forward . iReport : ' I 'm gay and I support Chick-fil-A ' Opinion : Chick-fil-A and free speech .
