Three things for November 19
1. Chick-fil-A ends donations to groups critical of the LGBTQ community
Chick-fil-A announced on Monday that it will no longer be making donations to two controversial Christian charities who have opposed same sex marriage. The chain’s foundation had made donations worth millions of dollars to The Salvation Army and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, according to the CNBC report.
LGBTQ activists have previously targeted multiple Chick-fil-A locations around the country to protest the chain’s homophobic stance. The company faced criticism in the past after its CEO Dan Cathy made public comments opposing gay marriage in 2012.
