On Monday, the charitable arm affiliated with Chick-fil-A revealed that it had overhauled its donation strategy and had stopped giving money to several organizations — donations that had long angered LGBTQ activists. In Aug 2012, I coordinated a national @ChickfilA Appreciation Day after they were being bullied by militant hate groups. In 2012, Chick-fil-A’s donations were already controversial when statements against same-sex marriage by CEO Dan Cathy sparked nationwide boycotts, followed by a counter-movement that Huckabee led.
