Washington, D.C.—Today, Brian Brown, President of the National Organization for Marriage (NOM) released the following statement:

"Despite recent news articles claiming Chick-fil-A's WinShape Foundation donated money to our organization—this is false. The National Organization for Marriage has never received funding from them," stated Brown.

"We support Chick-fil-A's philosophy that every person is treated with 'honor, dignity and respect—regardless of their belief, race, creed, sexual orientation or gender;' and we will continue to endorse 'Chick-fil-A Wednesdays' calling upon all supporters of marriage, free speech and religious liberty to thank Chick-fil-A's president, Dan Cathy, for taking a courageous stand to speak out in defense of marriage and his freedom to speak," added Brown.
