Chick-Fil-A gave over $1m to anti-gay groups, including known hate group

From Equality Matters:

The WinShape Foundation is Chick-fil-A's charitable arm, created by Chick-fil-A founder and chairman S. Truett Cathy in 1984. WinShape has received a substantial amount of funding from Chick-fil-A: in 2008 alone, WinShape received $12,595,819 from Chick-fil-A Inc.

WinShape oversees a number of programs intended to foster the "growth and education of young people" as well as to promote "healthy marriages and strong families." But an examination of the WinShape Foundation's publicly available IRS 990 forms reveals that the WinShape Foundation supports a wide variety of anti-equality groups.
