Burger King Pledges to
Donate to LGBTQ Group for
Every Chicken Sandwich Sold .
Burger King has reaffirmed its commitment
to the LGBTQ community this Pride Month. .
The fast food chain has pledged to donate 40 cents from
every sale of their newly released Ch’King sandwich.
The donation will be made to The Human Rights Campaign and can reach up to $250,000, or 625,000 sandwiches.
This is a community we love dearly and
have proudly supported over the years, so
we couldn’t miss an opportunity to take
action and help shine a light on the
important conversation happening, Burger King spokesperson, to ‘USA Today’.
Burger King made the announcement via Twitter and
added that donations would be accrued “even on Sundays.” .
The comment is seemingly a jab at Chick-fil-A,
which has once again come under fire for donating
to anti-LGBTQ organizations. .
Chick-fil-A CEO Dan Cathy was identified by The Daily Beast
as a donor to the National Christian Charitable Foundation.
The organization notably has a history of
funding opposition to The Equality Act
