In 2009, Change.org reported Chick-fil-A had supported Focus on the Family.That  group, founded by the Reverend James Dobson, supports reparative  therapy programs and has donated hundreds of thousand of dollars to  passing antigay legislation.A representative for Chick-fil-A tweeted on Tuesday that the company was looking into the sponsorship and would release a statement shortly."},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Chick-fil-A Supports Anti-Marriage Equality Group","item":"https:\/\/equallywed.com\/chick-fil-a-supports-anti-marriage-equality-group\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
