Chick-fil-A Sponsors Anti-Gay Golf Event

Months after sparking a national wave of protest in the GLBT community, fast food chain Chick-fil-A has underwritten a gold event that benefits an anti-gay group, On Top Magazine reported on July 25.

Last February, the eatery chain sponsored a seminar on heterosexual marriage titled "The Art of Marriage" organized by anti-gay group the Pennsylvania Family Institute, which opposes legal equality for same-sex couples in that state.

"Chick-fil-A is one of the only large American companies (Domino Pizza under Tom Monaghan was another) with conservative Christianity an integral part of its corporate culture," noted a Jan. 31 EDGE article.
