We all know by now that Chick-fil-A has donated millions of dollars over the years to anti-gay groups like the Family Research Council. What we didn’t know for sure - until now - is why they did it. 

In a recent interview with the Baptist Press, Chick-fil-A COO Dan Cathy admitted that the restaurant has taken an official stance against marriage equality. It’s not surprising, but it still stings a little:

Cathy told the Baptist Press he aims to operate the restaurant chain “on biblical principles.” When asked whether his company had an established position against marriage equality, Cathy said, “guilty as charged.”

He added, “We are very much supportive of the family — the biblical definition of the family unit. We are a family-owned business, a family-led business, and we are married to our first wives. We give God thanks for that. … We know that it might not be popular with everyone, but thank the Lord, we live in a country where we can share our values and operate on biblical principles.”

Next time you think about eating at Chick-fil-A, think twice, now that you know exactly where your money is going.
