Chick fil-A Donated To Group That Promoted Drag Queen Story Hour

It is never good business to alienate loyal customers but that is exactly what Chick-fil-A did when it caved to the mob and halted donations to the Salvation Army.

Only months after once again being named as the nation’s top fast-food chain, the big shots in the boardroom ran up the white flag and surrendered to far-left activists who have waged war on it for years.

The move to appease the radicals left conservatives and especially Christians shocked and feeling betrayed after they supported the chain which has been smeared, targeted by boycotts and kicked off of college campuses for allegedly being anti-LGBT.

But it gets worse.

Not only has Chick-fil-A halted donations to groups falsely accused of being hostile to gay people, but in a bizarre decision, has redirected funding to organizations like the anti-Christian Southern Poverty Law Center.

And now, the company is under fire for donating to a group that has hosted drag queen story hours which many conservatives view as a sinister method of indoctrinating children.

Via The Federalist, “Yes, Chick-Fil-A Really Is Funding A Group That Hosts Drag Queen Story Hour”:

IRS forms show the Chick-fil-A Foundation has switched from financially supporting antipoverty and other charitable organizations to underwriting pro-abortion and pro-LGBT groups.

Fast-food giant Chick-fil-A is sinking deeper into the controversy it created when it announced the Chick-fil-A Foundation would no longer donate to organizations that uphold a Christian ethic regarding sex and marriage.

As LifeSiteNews reported, the Chick-fil-A Foundation has given money to Covenant House, an organization that aims to address youth homelessness. While its overall objective is virtuous, Covenant House New York’s affiliate is listed as one of the “community partners” that has provided “community space” to host Drag Queen Story Hour, according to Dragqueenstoryhour.org’s NYC page.

Chick-fil-A Donates to Drag Queen Host’s Partner
Drag Queen Story Hours have been cropping up in libraries and other public spaces across the country. These events consist of men dressing up as women to read or tell stories based in gender ideology to children. “DQSH captures the imagination and play of the gender fluidity of childhood and gives kids glamorous, positive, and unabashedly queer role models,” according to the Drag Queen Story Hour website. The site encourages visitors to #STANDWITHSTORYHOUR and help raise $35,000 by the end of the year to “fight back against anti-LGBTQ censorship and attacks.”

Covenant House, the recipient of at least $230,000 of Chick-fil-A’s donations, bills itself as “the largest provider of services to youth facing homelessness in the Americas” and provides shelter to about 400 kids between 16 and 21 years old. Its website says it seeks to provide houses that are “welcoming, affirming, and safe for LGBTQ youth.” New York-based Covenant House has nearly two dozen affiliates all over the United States and South America, but the parent organization and its New York affiliate in particular have indeed put a focus on LGBT politics.

By formally casting their lot with “woke” corporate America, Chick-fil-A has sacrificed its identity on the altars of political correctness and forced diversity while squandering the goodwill from years of openly championing Christian values.

The craven decision couldn’t have come at a worse time either as competitor Popeye’s is promoting its own fried chicken sandwiches and unlike Chick-fil-A, they are open on Sundays.
