Chick-fil-A is rethinking the multimillion-dollar donations the company has given to anti-gay groups, one month after company CEO Dan Cathy's comments supporting traditional marriage angered LGBT supporters, according to ABC News.

The restaurant says it will evaluate which groups receive donations from the WinShape Foundation, a non-profit the Cathy family created, which is funded almost entirely by Chick-fil-A. The foundation gave $3.2 million to groups against same-sex marriage between 2008 and 2010, including $2,000 to the Family Research Council and $2,500 to the Alliance Defense Fund, which supported California's Proposition 8 to ban gay marriage.

Chicago Alderman Joe Moreno said he will recommend to the City Council that the restaurant's construction plans be approved for a new location in the Windy City.

“The company today 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,” Moreno said in a statement.
