Chick-Fil-A is a Christian-owned company which has come under fire in recent years for donating to charities which are non-supportive/non-accepting of gays.
Previous boycott attempts by the LGBT crowd and other leftists have been unsuccessful. The boycotts would hit the news, and those boycotting would be replaced by a much greater number of customers trying to show their support.
That's why I was surprised at yesterday's announcement that Chick-Fil-A would be ceasing donations to the charities against same-sex marriage.
It is possible that Chick-Fil-A finally became concerned by certain municipalities shutting them out. San Antonio, for example, banned them from their airport.
Three companies will no longer receive money from Chick-Fil-A: Salvation Army, the Paul Anderson Youth Home, and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.
Salvation Army is the most notable of the three.
I was actually a fan of the Salvation Army and sometimes donated furniture and clothing to them. However, I had a bad experience with the Las Vegas branch, where they went to the wrong address, realized it, and decided to leave me in the lurch anyway. I ended up having to run a "rich uncle just got angry about this and won't donate anymore" bluff on them in order to get them to act honestly and keep their commitment. The manager eventually admitted that she realized the mistake was completely on their end, but that "nobody wanted to deal with it" and they wanted to make me "just go away".
In general, I don't like when people delve into the politics of ownership of businesses, and then try to ruin the business if the owners don't think the "right" way. If the company provides a good product or service, that should be enough.
