Chick-Fil-A Did WHAT After Gay Club Shooting?

Chick Fil A has made national news for it’s owners’ stance on gay marriage. Anytime they do something even remotely non-PC, their supposed slip up goes viral. Hash tags pop up all over the place.


So why is that what they have done in the wake of the Orlando nightclub shooting hasn’t received a single mention on the mainstream new outlets?

It’s probably because people like New York City Mayor, Bill DeBlasio might have to eat crow instead of chicken. DeBlasio has said that Chick Fil A spreads a message of hate.

Not so yesterday. In a shocking move, the Orlando location at University and Rouse Road quietly fired up its grills on Sunday. The chain is notorious for not being open, ever, on the Sabbath. Employees cooked up hundreds of their famous chicken sandwiches. They brewed dozens of gallons of sweet tea.

Then, instead of making a single dime, and without pomp and circumstance they crated the product of their labor to the One Blood donation center. The food and drinks were handed out, free of charge, to all the people who had lined up to donate blood.

So far, the only mentions of the incident have been from individuals on Facebook. They have posted photos thanking the restaurant for their thoughtfulness and generosity.

But, wait, those people were waiting to give blood to victims that were mostly gay people. Doesn’t Chick Fil A hate gays? That’s what we keep being told.


Turns out, that while the founders definitely don’t approve of that choice of lifestyle, they believe in compassion. Who knew? A bunch of people claiming to be Christians care about others even when they don’t agree with them. This group took time out of their schedules to volunteer to help those who were also trying to do their part.

On top of that, the franchise’s location on Wells Road in Orange Park is even offering coupons for a free frosted lemonade to anyone who donates blood when the One Blood mobile unit is at there store on June 14th.

In times like these it's comforting to share a feel-good story about caring individuals and the company they work for - So much for “Chick Fil hAte” becoming a thing.

On that note I think I'll go grab a sweet tea!


(Mods please leave this in news, because if it isn't news it should be news so let's make it news and leave it in news)
Some days, it's just not worth chewing through the leather straps...

Chik-fil-A is made up of many franchisers, the company never discriminated against gays, heck some of the locations are owned by gays.

Some of the hateful comments on that Facebook site are simply insane.

What Chick-fil-A did after Orlando massacre should be flooding the news, but we know why it’s not
The left-leaning news media are always Johnny-on-the-Spot to criticize Chick-fil-A because its owners happen to be pro-traditional marriage.

But when it opens its heart (and its doors) in the wake of a national tragedy, they suddenly put their blinders on.

On Sunday, following the bloody massacre at an Orlando nightclub that caters to gays, several nearby locations of the restaurant chain opened its doors to deliver sandwiches and drinks to police and EMTs at the crime scene, and to those donating blood.

In case you think Chick-fil-A was profiting from a tragedy, think again. They accepted no payment for their offerings.

And on Monday Chick-fil-A management issued this simple statement, the Washington Examiner reported:

“Orlando is in our hearts and prayers.”

The chain also flew its flags at half-mast to honor those whose lives were taken in such a despicable senseless fashion.

Management didn’t see them as gays — they only saw them as victims.

One person on Twitter observed that Chick-fil-A always closes its doors on Sundays, believing it to be a time of worship and family togetherness — but not last Sunday.

    I commend @ChickfilA for closing its doors at the right time and opening at the right times. #sabbath #orlando https://t.co/QMMOlR8BjE

The company was blasted in 2013 when it was revealed that it had donated money to organizations that promote traditional marriage — that is, the union of one man and one woman. The bad press that came afterwards continues to this day.

New York Mayor Bill de Blasio even called for a boycott of the restaurant’s New York locations just last month. There’s a large location in Manhattan, and one set to open in Queens this fall.

But the mayor’s words didn’t stop the hungry customers from lining up to purchase their sandwiches and drinks.

Although the mainstream media were silent on Chick-fil-A’s act of kindness, it became big news on social media.
