Chick-fil-A, a popular southern fast food chain known for its chicken sandwiches, is an evangelical Christian company and over the past few months has come under fire for giving to anti-gay organizations and allowing its charitable foundation to discriminate against same-sex couples. Minnesota has one franchise in the restaurant chain — a food counter at the University of Minnesota’s Coffman Union.

Change.org notes that Winshape, the Chick-fil-A charitable foundation does not allow LGBT people on its campus:

The email correspondence goes a little something like this. Someone writes WinShape an easy question about whether their retreat center is open to LGBT people. WinShape’s response:

“WinShape Retreat defines marriage from the Biblical standard as being between one man and one woman. Groups/Individuals are welcome who offer wholesome, educational conferences and programs that are compatible with Biblical values and WinShape’s purpose,” WinShape wrote back.

Kind of some corporate speak, right? So the activist wrote back: can you just give a clear-cut answer? And WinShape confirmed:

“We do not accept homosexual couples because of the statement in our contract.”

And so it goes like this: Chick-fil-A is a restaurant where franchises frequently donate to anti-gay organizations like the Pennsylvania Family Institute, Focus on the Family and others. The restaurant’s charitable arm, WinShape, holds conferences for opponents of gay marriage and praises their work. And this charitable arm’s Retreat program puts a blanket ban on gay couples using their facilities, because they “do not accept homosexual couples.”
