The Russian president wants to codify the notion that marriage is “between a man and a woman.”
Which it is. And that only is so.
I don’t care about his self-serving constitutional changes; if he will stand up to the Brave New World Order, and preserve Russia, he deserves whatever he wants, power-wise, frankly.
And Russia needs a strong-man at the helm; always has…
Chick-fil-A Sends Sin Tax to LGBT-Linked Groups
Covenant House boasted about its participation in NYC’s Gay Pride Parade in March 2019, saying, “Celebrating PRIDE! This past Sunday our youth, staff and volunteers enjoyed the large crowds, rainbow colors and festive music at New York City’s Pride Parade. Pride is all about love, acceptance, celebration. … We encourage kids to be exactly who they are and we celebrate their uniqueness and individuality.” (For more pictures go here, here, and here.)
Every one of its 16 U.S. and Canadian Covenant House programs has undergone the assessment of Cyndi Lauper’s LGBT-fascist “True Colors” to insure they are fully on board with the entire homosexual and transgender agenda. To work there, one must affirm transgenderism and homosexual practice as part of a young person’s “authentic self.” “Even though we are educating staff and think they are on the same page, they may not be,” said Renee Trincanello, associate executive director at Covenant House Florida.
What do we know of Covenant House’s partner “True Colors”? True Colors “creates a welcoming environment for LGBTQ youth by using visual cues like safe space stickers, all gender restroom signs, and pronoun buttons.” That’s right, first-order business at Covenant House is everyone declaring the pronouns by which they want to be known, thereby coercing all others to accept faux transgender identity through mandatory speech. There can never be too much coercive indoctrination when pushing LGBT ideology.
Covenant House proudly declares on its website that “LGBTQ young people” should not only be kept “safe, housed,” but also “celebrated … not just accepted … for who they are” (emphasis theirs). So Chick-fil-A is not remaining neutral in the culture war but is siding with organizations that promote what God views as abhorrent. Yet CFA’s Vision Statement says the company exists first and foremost “to glorify God.”
Covenant House is also hardly a cash-strapped organization. According to GuideStar, it had gross receipts of $108.6 million in 2018, with donors including Walmart, Delta, PayPal, and the National Basketball Association. That doesn’t include all its various chapters in different states, provinces, and cities in the U.S. and Canada.
The New York chapter alone had gross receipts of $23.4 million, for instance, and California had $15.8 million. It has been raking in this kind of money for decades. Did CFA feel bad that Covenant House was raking in only this kind of dough, or was this a public relations outreach to mollify LGBT bullies?

Chick-fil-A Donated To Anti-Christian Southern Poverty Law Center
Tax records show Chick-fil-A donated to the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) in 2017, an anti-Christian group that lists any organization disavowing same-sex marriage as a “hate-group,” including churches, according to Townhall.com.
According to the Chick-fil-A Foundation’s 2017 IRS 990 form, the fast-food corporation gave $2,500 to the SPLC. It was the SPLC that motivated a terrorist shooter in 2012 to launch an assault on the Family Research Council with a semi-automatic pistol, 100 rounds of ammo, and 15 Chick-fil-A sandwiches.
“Southern Poverty Law [Center] lists anti-gay groups. I found them online,” said the shooter in an interrogation video made public by the FBI, adding that his plan was to “kill as many as possible and smear the Chick-fil-A sandwiches in victims’ faces, and kill the guard.”
Tony Perkins, the president of the Family Research Council condemned the donations to SPLC and called for a Christian boycott of Chick-fil-A.
“Not only has Chick-fil-A abandoned donations to Christian groups including the Salvation Army, it has donated to one of the most extreme anti-Christian groups in America. Anyone who opposes the SPLC…is slandered and slapped with the ‘extremist’ label or even worse, their ‘hate group’ designation,” Perkins said. “It’s time for Christians to find a fast food alternative to Chick-fil-A.”
This is as dismaying and disheartening as the recent Canadian election results.
Well, I guess they will find out whether backstabbing their base wins them any new friends; the Babylon Bee nails it:
Caring only about future ‘shareholders’, not current ones…
But they shall find it does nothing to endear them to their enemies who still want to see them destroyed. Already, GLAAD has responded with the expected lack of charity:
As usual, the neo-cons are clueless:

For my part, while I am glad they haven’t capitulated totally – i.e. donating to decidely ‘woke’ charities instead of more or less culture-war-neutral ones, and that they for now are keeping their Sunday closing policy, I’m sure it’s just a matter of time before they capitulate on those, too. I ain’t gonna go out of my way to patronize them, and the moment they capitulate further in any way I will be entirely done with them.
Let’s see if they’re smart enough to change course like World Vision did after their initial caving.
I’ll give them a chance, perhaps. But I sure as heck don’t hold out much hope…
Just learned about the Uganda Martyrs (wiki here; infogalactic mirror in case corrupted here):
The Uganda Martyrs are a group of 23 Anglican and 22 Catholic converts to Christianity in the historical kingdom of Buganda, now part of Uganda, who were executed between 31 January 1885 and 27 January 1887.[2][3]
They were killed on orders of Mwanga II, the Kabaka (King) of Buganda.
[…]
“the immediate cause of the killings was the refusal of the pages to engage in homosexual practices”. The king, who by tradition had the power of life and death over his subjects, was angered by this refusal to obey his wishes to have sex with him.[3]
I’m sure that there will be similar martyrs in the post-modern, post-Christian West, one day…
