BCN Editor's Note: Recent commercials depicting the "Burger King" have often made me wonder, but no more. Now they are plainly showing their support for LGBTQ causes, with the "Proud Whopper" wrapped in rainbow packaging, and this latest action against Chick-fil-A. It won't be hard to cross a certain "royal" fast-food chain off my list of places to eat. Although Chick-fil-A's only options for my location mean a bit of a drive, it's worth it to support them as they support such excellent organizations that uphold freedom and traditional values, such as Alliance Defending Freedom. -Aimee Herd, BCN

USA Today reported that Burger King was "tak[ing] aim at Chick-fil-A with plans to donate to LGBTQ group for every chicken sandwich sold."

In a tweet last week, Burger King took a jab at Chick-fil-A, which has faced consistent attacks from the secular world on LGBT issues.

The Miami-based restaurant chain took to social media to mock Chick-fil-A, saying it would donate 40 cents to the leftist Human Rights Campaign for every Ch’King chicken sandwich sold in June, "even on Sundays."

Burger King made the announcement days after The Daily Beast published a report that referenced Chick-fil-A, which is closed Sundays, for donating to the National Christian Charitable Foundation, a nonprofit that gives cash to thousands of other groups, like the right-leaning Alliance Defending Freedom, which has opposed the Equality Act, arguing it infringes on Americans’ religious liberties.

Several media outlets immediately picked up on Burger King’s tweet.

"Burger King trolls Chick-fil-A with LGBTQ+ donations," read a headline from CNN. USA Today reported that Burger King was "tak[ing] aim at Chick-fil-A with plans to donate to LGBTQ group for every chicken sandwich sold"... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
