coming out of the closet to roost?

Just as I was going to bed last night a blogger buddy posted this story:

From the Chicago Phoenix ( the Chicago lgbt paper )

After months of negotiations with Ald. Proco “Joe” Moreno over its anti-gay positions and donations, Chick-fil-A has agreed to cease donations from its non-profit charity to anti-gay organizations and issued a company-wide internal mandate calling for the equal treatment of all employees and customers, the alderman said. 
 WinShape, a non-profit funded by the College Park, Ga.-based chicken chain, has donated millions of dollars to anti-LGBT organizations — some classified hate groups — including Focus on the Family, according to The Civil Rights Agenda, which worked with Moreno and company executives in an advisory capacity as they negotiated to adopt new policies. 
 “At Chick-fil-A, we have a genuine commitment to hospitality for all of our guests. We have no agenda, policy or position against anyone,” said Steve Robinson, executive vice president of marketing in statement to Chicago Phoenix. “The genuine, historical intent of our WinShape Foundation and corporate giving has been to support youth, family and educational programs. We value everyone and strive to treat all people with a caring spirit.”
 Chick-fil-A serves and values everyone regardless of their beliefs or opinions, Robinson said. The company made similar statements on its Facebook page in mid-July — before the controversy erupted over comments made by Chick-fil-A President Dan Cathy, in which he reiterated the company’s support for marriage between a man and woman and his opposition to same-sex marriage. 
 “This is a win for the LGBT community,” Moreno said in a statement provided by TCRA. “This is a win for everyone who works for the cause of equal rights, and a win for Chick- fil-A. This is a win for all.”  ( FULL STORY  )


WHAAAA?

Woke up this morning to the story busting out all over the place, happy little postings and twittering. All of gaydom doing - yes - the Chicken Dance.
But wait rainbow warriors.
As of late tonight there was NOT A PEEP from the good folks down in Forrest Park/ College Park / Hapeville BUT! Not a peep in either way. Not A peep saying that Truitt now ❤'s the gays NOR a statement saying "NOPE, STILL A HATER".

So what to take from this , and I mean really, the story went totally main stream today, many big papers picking it up NYT story HERE. Saying that what the Georgia based company has done is this: “Chick-fil-A: Who We Are” to emphasize that the chain, which has more than 1,600 stores, will “treat every person with honor, dignity and respect — regardless of their beliefs, race, creed, sexual orientation and gender.”

What is is looking like is that Chic Fil A has done a complete 180 - have yet to hear the screams from the righties, but expect it soon
