Chick-fil-a Bowl donations - HOW DARE THEY - giving to foster care, college and high school scholarships, Play It Smart, children's healthcare, the National Guard, hearing and sight restoration, the National Kidney Challenge, Schools of Niger and worst of all COLLEGE FOOTBALL. If only they spent their money in "more useful ways". They OBVIOUSLY MUST BE STOPPED.
Yes, I realize they support other causes which are controversial. I'm just tired of all the hyperbole - to hear many, ALL CFA does is support anti-same sex marriage.

Your point would be valid if the above causes didn't constitute a somewhat small percentage of CFA's charitable giving.
From reading that link and others, it's clear that while CFA does donate to sources which seem not to be linked to anti-gay causes, these constitute a very small percentage of its charitable giving. Schools of Niger and the Kidney Challenge only receive $10,000 each annually. On the other hand, FCA received $240,000 in a single year. FCA, which I didn't even realize until reading, focuses some of its efforts towards converting gays. It's also a huge supporter of Focus on the Family, which the SPLC deemed as a hate group.
Let's not act brand new here and pretend that CFA's efforts against gay marriage are only a small part of their charitable efforts or their culture. From looking at their charitable giving and their actions, it's a
major part of their culture.
