Does Your Favorite Brand Support Anti-Gay Organizations?

There has been much talk in the media about companies and their support for anti-gay organizations. Companies have been notorious for donating tons of money to organizations against same-sex marriage. The more educated we become, the more we can understand where our dollars go. But the power still remains with us- the consumers. Even though there are some companies out there that support anti-gay groups, let’s not forget about companies like Oreo, J.C. Penney and American Apparel that help support the LGBT community through various  campaigns, advertisings and fundraisers. PolicyMic recently put together a list of anti-gay companies that we should reconsider supporting.

Check out some of the list below:

Chick-fil-a

“According to Equality Matters, Chick-Fil-A donated almost $2 million to anti-gay organizations in 2010, including over $1,100,000 to the Marriage & Family Foundation, an organization that Chick-Fil-A Vice President Donald “Bubba” Cathy actually founded. The company’s WinShape Foundation, their charitable arm, has a long history of donation to such groups, but appears to have upped the ante in recent years, as they donated a total of $3 million between 2003 and 2009. That’s a lot of chicken sandwiches.”

    Of course it makes you feel mad and turned off, but really with a borderline monopoly like company like walmart, who can avoid them?? Honestly I worked at chik fil a when I was a child and they are filled with uber christian employees who judge and act better than those whom are not going that direction and just need a job. I faced it so I know. I do not eat there and will not because I know there is pain being gay and not being able to be equal in so many ways. I could not disrespect my community like that. As for urban oufitters, never even been inside one or near one. I know of it, but I always thought it was another Skinny folks hipster store like abercrombie or aeropostale. Never even look at those stores in the mall. I walk right past them bc I know there isn’t a thing I could fit or enjoy looking at in there.

      hey you MF -LGBT community pigs and swines. Yes we do openly support anti-gay comapanies like hurray Chic-fil-A and walmart they will always do when christians shop over there and by the way they are MNC world corporates who dont get effected in their sales when pigs and swine 1 % LGBT dont shop over there. Their share value and sales will outgrow you pigs shit. So u MF dont teach us christians what we should do . We christains made countries and ccivilization fall or rise through our major clout and economic power all over the world with catholic christians being the richest religion in the world and you saw how they blocked your gay marriage in california. You guys are worth discriminating and kicked out of our society. I would encourage fanatic christian to rise like the fanatic muslic to kill your or torture you economically in every of our hetersexual society. So we will see if your 1 % LGBT pigs win or our 2.5 billion world christian population win . By the way dont go to muslim countries which is other 3 billion muslim population they will kill u at sight and donate ur organs to chinese for body organs trading.

    It pains me to walk past Chik-Fil-A in the food court, see the big cow they have outside, smell those waffle fries, get a whif of crispy chicken deliciousness as the staff wave at me and call me by first name since they know me. But I’ve been boycotting for about a month. (
    I’ve only slipped up twice.)

    What I’m wondering is why all companies are not anti-gay ? Gays have no rights. If your gay great keep it to yourself.

    • http://www.facebook.com/tvillejo Tara Villejo

      Why should we have to keep it to ourselves. Straight people don’t have to keep that to themselves. And yes we do have rights as gays, we are human beings just like each and everyone of you straight people. It’s ignorant people like you that make me feel sad, because you’re putting your ignorance and hatred in your children. You need to learn that we are all human and we are born the way that we are. So what if you don’t like it, get over it. We’re here, we’re queer, move the fuck on!!

      Hurray normal dad i am with you. I know it cant be 100 % anti-gay corporates but yes we can try atleast 95 % to have all anti-gay companies in the stock market by boycotting those 5 % companies supporting gay activities so automatically they will be doomed like JC penny and home depot thanks to one-million mom and chic-fil-a and to contrary chic-fil-a sales increased So u MF -LGBT community pigs and swines. Yes we do openly support anti-gay comapanies like hurray Chic-fil-A and walmart they will always do when christians shop over there and by the way they are MNC world corporates who dont get effected in their sales when pigs and swine 1 % LGBT dont shop over there.

      We are not born gay, so there. Gay people are deviants and they need to be classified as having mental sickness. But you are right on the rights issue. I believe even mad people have rights similar to normal people, but that doesn’t mean you can let them run amok creating disturbance to others.

  • Supporter of my friend.

    Gay people are normal people, no one is sure they are turn gay or not. I think it’s not a choice because i knew friend in first grade who kiss a boy, and now we are in high school and he has came out to everyone. He has a boy friend, who they are in love they act just like straight people, so it’s hard to tell if their best friend’s or boy friends for some people. I support my friend over the company’s.
