Chik-fil-A ceases anti-gay funding
09/19/2012
By WeHo News staff, West Hollywood, California

 

The Civil Rights Agenda (TCRA), self-described as Illinois’ leading lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) civil rights advocacy organization, announced today that it has learned that Chicago Alderman Moreno has finalized negotiations with Chick-Fil-A and gained pledge that the firm will no longer give money to anti-gay organizations.

In addition to that pledge, says the advocacy group’s web site, Chik-fil-A has clarified in an internal document asserting that the company will treat every person with whom employees come into contact with equally, regardless of sexual orientation.


Chicago Alderman Proco "Joe" Moreno.

According to the press release, The Civil Rights Agenda worked closely with the Alderman in an advisory role as he negotiated these concessions with the executives at Chick-fil-A. 

The organization states, “In a letter addressed to Alderman Moreno and signed by Chick-fil-A’s Senior Director of Real Estate, [the company] states, ‘The WinShape Foundations is now taking a much closer look at the organizations it considers helping, and in that process will remain true to its stated philosophy of not supporting organizations with political agendas.’

Winshape, a non-profit funded by Chick-fil-a, has donated millions of dollars to anti-LGBT groups, including some classified as hate groups. 

“We are very pleased with this outcome and thank Alderman Moreno for his work on this issue,” said Anthony Martinez, executive director of The Civil Rights Agenda. “I think the most substantive part of this outcome is that Chick-fil-A has ceased donating to organizations that promote discrimination, specifically against LGBT civil rights. 

“It has taken months of discussion, both with our organization and with the Alderman, for Chick-fil-A to come forward with these concessions and we feel this is a strong step forward for Chick-fil-A and the LGBT community, although it is only a step.”

Additionally, said Mr. Martinez, Chik-fil-A has sent an internal memo to franchisees and stakeholders that states that as a company, they will “treat every person with honor, dignity and respect-regardless of their beliefs, race, creed, sexual orientation and gender” and that their “intent is not to engage in political or social debates.”

This statement was placed into an official company document called “Chick-fil-A: Who We Are.”

“Although we are encouraged by their internal statement, we would still like for the company to adopt an anti-discrimination policy at the corporate level,” said Rick Garcia, policy advisor for The Civil Rights Agenda.

“It is one thing for a company to say they respect everyone they serve and employ, it is quite another for them to put that into their policies and demand that all employees adhere to that behavior.  As we have heard from gay employees that work for Chick-fil-A, there is a culture of discrimination within the company and we would like to ensure that employees can speak out and call attention to those practices without fear of reprisal. It takes time to change the culture of any institution and steps like a corporate policy ensure that progress is made.”
