    "Joe Moreno, the alderman whose opposition of a proposed Chick-fil-A on Chicago's north side helped fuel the recent controversy, told the Chicago Tribune the company has pledged to include a statement of respect for all sexual orientations in a memo to staffers, and has promised that the WinShape Foundations, its not-for-profit arm, would no longer contribute money to groups that oppose gay marriage."

    I've got to say, I admire their business savvy! First, get all the Christians to give you their money. Then do a 180 and get everyone else to give you theirs. I'm not saying it's morally admirable, but hey, that's big business for you. Personally I don't even like their food.

    This is actually pretty similar to how the Republican Party works. They use the votes of Christians to get elected so that their candidates can then serve Big Business.

    Like the great Richard Pryor said in Brewster's Millions, "Money talks, and bull***t walks".

    People spoke with their wallets, and the corporaton bowed to the threat of financial losses. They are still under pressure, however, to change their discriminatory policies within the organization. I saw quite a few people vowing online today that they will continue to boycott until gay employees of Chick-Fil-H8 can be treated with the same respect as straights.
