Fordham University is a private, independent research university in New York City, founded by the Catholic Diocese of New York in 1841. It's still affiliated with the Jesuits in the Catholic Church.

Given the above, I find it ironic that Fordham is OK having LGBT club but has banned Chick-fil-A because of something their CEO said (personal belief, not corporate position) 5 years ago.

Catholic school banishes Chick-fil-A

By Todd Starnes Published May 08, 2017 Fox News

I was about to dip a nugget in some Chick-fil-A Sauce the other day when I received an urgent message on my phone.

“Student Groups Shut Down Chick-fil-A Proposal,” one headline blared. “Catholic University Caves to LGBT Pressure, Rejects Chick-fil-A,” screamed another.

A cavalcade of anti-chicken headlines blurted from my phone – but the most succinct came from Food and Wine magazine: “Fordham University Rejects Chick-fil-A after LGBT Student Concerns.”

However incredulous it may have been, the Jesuits had indeed banished the Chick-fil-A cows.

As I pondered that reality, I nearly choked on a delicious, hand-spun Chick-fil-A Icedream milkshake topped off with whipped cream and one crucial cherry.

Fordham’s Rainbow Alliance took great offense over plans to install a Chick-fil-A in the campus dining hall. The LGBT group had a laundry list of complaints, but they still have their feathers ruffled over an incident that occurred back in 2012.

That was the year Chick-fil-A president Dan Cathy told a Baptist newspaper that he believed in the biblical definition of marriage.

Mr. Cathy’s comments sparked “The Great Poultry War of 2012.”

Fierce critics accused the family-owned restaurant chain of all sorts of heinous behavior. One elected lawmaker accused the Cathy family of peddling “hate chicken.”

In spite of the vicious attacks by the mainstream media and the militant LGBT chicken-haters, the restaurant chain continued to provide delicious food served with cheerful attitudes.

As a matter of fact, Chick-fil-A graciously offered to collaborate with Fordham’s Rainbow Alliance – an invitation that was rejected.

“We’re not going to partner with an institution, a corporation that has so strongly supported other institutions that work to destabilize and demolish movements for queer equity,” Rainbow Alliance co-president Renata Francesco told the Fordham Observer.

Such childish insolence has become the norm on university campuses these days.

The Fordham Observer reports that other student groups, including the United Student Government and the Residence Hall Association, also objected to the campus Chick-fil-A.

The Rainbow Alliance said they were “very happy with the decision.”

“Part of me is hopeful that they’ll start taking this attitude of listening to queer student and queer voices, because there are so many on this campus and just in life,” Francesco told the newspaper.

It seems LGBT students are still perturbed because the Catholic school is not kowtowing to “queer issues” – most notably “the hesitation and denial to create trans-inclusive spaces.”

I’m not exactly sure what a trans-inclusive space means – but whatever.

So, there you have it, folks. Chick-fil-A has been banished from campus, the LGBT students won the day, and the anti-poultry bigots at Fordham University have been spared the indignity of suffering through the throes of a raging microaggression at the mere presence of a waffle fry.

The Jesuits should’ve told them to flock off.

Okay, I'm only going to say this once, I'm not going to respond to other posts in this thread (if any) and I'm never going to bring the topic up again:

Given the Bible's clear dictates against homosexuality, how can ANY organization that professes to be Christian support this kind of bullshit? Either you believe the Bible or you don't. If you don't, don't call yourself Christian, 'k?




Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent.

The short answer is, it's not a mortal sin to be gay.

Here's the long answer:

Mortal Sin?

This idea is nothing but a construction by man to deceive people to believe that “small” sins are OK with God.

Read the Third chapter of the book of Romans.

It’s pretty clear that we ALL have sinned. No mention of degrees of sin.

Isaiah 64:6 New King James Version (NKJV)

But we are all like an unclean thing, and all our righteousness’s are like filthy rags; we all fade as a leaf, and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.

OK to be gay?

1 Corinthians 6: 9-10 New King James Version (NKJV)

9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.



God's mercy: NOT getting what we deserve!
God's grace: Getting what we DON'T deserve!

Chik -fil-a is way better off NOT being associated with anything the catholic pedophile club has to offer.





Safety, Situational Awareness and proficiency.

Fascinating. So being homosexual, just being attracted to the same sex, but never actually participating in the act itself, is enough to bar someone from Heaven? Through no fault of their own, folks just get turned away at the gate because of random chance?
