I do think it's worth being clear that Chik-Fil-A gives to the WinShape Foundation, and it is WinShape that gives to Focus on the Family and other groups, not Chik-Fil-A directly. I readily understand, though, if that is a distinction without a difference to some, but accuracy matters.

I'll admit I'm suspicious about the Uganda connection, unless you mean Exodus International. If that's the case, it's also worth noting that that was basically one conference that reps of Exodus International (a group I have no love for) attended, and that EI has since expressed its regret for participating in that conference and has spoken out against what has happened in Uganda. I'm not trying to defend EI, but I don't think it's accurate to say that they "give" to an organization that "supports killing gay people" in Uganda.
