Burger King Pledges Donations to Pro-LGBT Human Rights Campaign

Earlier this month fast food giant Burger King announced that for every chicken sandwich it sold it would donate 42 cents to pro-LGBT organization the Human Rights Campaign, up to $250,000 total.

The Human Rights Campaign is one of the nation’s most radically pro-LGBT organizations.

Last fall the group outlined public policies that would strip many Christian schools of their accreditation.

The Human Rights Campaign has promoted pro-abortion events in Arkansas. In 2014 the group spent more than $160,000 supporting Fayetteville’s controversial, pro-LGBT ordinance; the group also opposed religious exemptions to Fayetteville’s ordinance.

Burger King is just one of the latest companies to jump on the pro-LGBT bandwagon this year.

In the meantime, it’s probably safe to say many conservatives will go elsewhere this month for chicken sandwiches.

John Cena and the House of Rock

*John Stonestreet, Radio Host and Director of the Colson Center*

John Cena has built a persona, both in the wrestling ring and on the silver screen, as a tough guy. Last week, however, Cena made headlines for contritely apologizing to China for referring to Taiwan as a country. And he did it in Chinese, even.

As tempting as it is to get snarky about the whole scene, this story is about far more than one celebrity. Millions of dollars are on the line with a new Fast and Furious film, and Hollywood hasn’t been willing to criticize Beijing since Seven Years in Tibet twenty-four years ago. Beijing’s oppression of Taiwan and Hong Kong and Christians and Muslim Uyghurs has only gotten worse since then. Yet Hollywood and much of corporate America turn a blind eye, while criticizing Georgia and North Carolina.

Of course, the pressure of having to choose between your career and your convictions is very likely in the future for every Christian. As Christ warned, our faith won’t survive unless it is built on the Solid Rock.
