Fake Christian Dan Cathy. Fuck this guy!
So it seems the good and "Christian" owner of Chick-fil-A hasn't really turned that corner on his hate values as much as he said he would. Back in 2019 amidst backlash over all the hubbub of how much Chick-fil-A hates the gays cuz of all the money they give to political groups and people who also hate the gays, the hetero-ironically named owner Dan Cathy vowed that Chick-fil-A would cease giving it's money to such entities.
And they did! Sort of. But not really. Cuz he's simply doing it out of his own accounts and not putting Chick-fil-A's name on the donations. Easy Peasey Lemon Squeesey.
As reported last week at The Daily Beast, Cathy is one of the wealthiest and most prolific donors to the National Christian Charitable Foundation, a collective of wealthy assholes including Hobby Lobby and the family of Trump's former education secretary Besty DeVos. You really need to read their article to understand the breadth and scope of the damage they do worldwide! Recently they're the ones who are basically funding the destruction of Biden's Equality Act which would make it illegal to discriminate against LGBTQ+ persons. They are also behind the funding and passage of a slew of anti-trans legislation, often aimed against children.
In addition as was reported recently at OutMagazine.com: "Back in April, it was reported that Democratic senator Joe Manchin from West Virginia was leaning towards voting against the bill because he had received a massive amount of calls from conservative Christian groups urging him to vote 'no.' He said calls about the Equality Act have been 'a thousand to one' against it, and efforts like this are paid for by the NCF."
