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.
I'm somewhat suspicious as well about the Uganda connection since I haven't really been able to find anything connecting Chik-Fil-A to genocide in Uganda. Either way, it still appears to me that all of the FB activism and boycotting of this company is based on the CEO's open statements on his religious views, not monetary donations to anti-gay groups.
