A community of 30,000 US Transcriptionist serving Medical Transcription Industry
that explicitly forbids gender-identity-based discrimination. Today the company has put into writing, for the first time, that its employees are to "treat every person with honor, dignity and respect — regardless of their beliefs, race, creed, sexual orientation and gender.... our intent is not to engage in political or social debates."
Score one for the home team and for minority rights, and kudos to the CFA honchos.

Please note the highlighted paragraph. I have googled and have not come up with one bit of proof that they did this. I did notice that a blog on Boston.com stated this info came from TCRA (The Civil Rights Agenda). Huffpo also picked up the same story word-for-word, as did other blogs, but not on the news side, and they all cite TCRA as their place where they got the press release.
The Chick-fi-A site press release has not changed since July. Unless they change it in a day or two, then I put this story down as hogwash, especially after what Cathey when through back in July. I think TCRA is just trying to drum up more trouble for Chick-fil-A.
"When ABC requested clarification from Chick-fil-A on the policies Moreno claims are new, the company re-sent a statement from July, when the controversy over it’s traditional marriage support first erupted."
“The Chick-fil-A culture and service tradition in our restaurants is to treat every person with honor, dignity and respect -regardless of their belief, race, creed, sexual orientation or gender,” Chick-fil-A spokeswoman Tracey Micit said in the statement. “Going forward, our intent is to leave the policy debate over same-sex marriage to the government and political arena.”
"Along with re-evaluating funding to anti-gay marriage activist groups, Moreno said Chick-fil-A has agreed to amend its corporate policy to include sexual orientation in its anti-discrimination policy."
and verification from Chick-fil-A of the TCRA press release and received the SAME July press release that they have on their site; i.e., THEY HAVE NOT CHANGED THEIR POLICY . Unless they change it on their website, I will put this so-called press release by the TCRA as HOGWASH!
Sorry, but no conspiracy here either. Just want the facts.
