A Gay Defense of Chick-fil-A: Attacks by LGBTQ+ activists against Chick-fil-A and The Salvation Army are dishonest and need to stop.

For most of the past ten years, Chick-fil-A has been the target of boycotts and protests over its perceived anti-gay positions. This week, some New York State Democrat lawmakers took steps to block Chick-fil-A from providing food vending services for state highway vehicle rest stops. This follows similar controversies in recent years in San Antonio, Buffalo, and the UK.

They accuse Chick-fil-A of having “a long and sorry past of supporting discrimination toward LGBTQ+ individuals and their families.” As evidence for their claims, they point to Chick-fil-A’s now-stopped financial support of The Salvation Army, an evangelical Christian charity providing poor people with food, clothing, housing, and other life-essential services.

One might wonder what could be wrong with a fried chicken restaurant donating money to charity. The LGBTQ+ activists criticizing Chick-fil-A today are doing a lot more than simply complaining about the company’s perceived views on homosexuality.
