Protesters targeted Chick-Fil-A for their alleged homophobe stance - some of the banners accused Chick-Fil-A of being anti gay. Members of the Brooklyn Anti-Gentrification Network (BAN) took to the streets at the Brooklyns third borough-wide march against gentrification, racism, and police violence, starting in downtown Brooklyn at the Barclays Center and ending in East New York at Broadway Junction.

Chick-Fil-A said on Monday that it has stopped funding two Christian charities after coming under fire in recent weeks from LGBTQ activists.

The fast-food chain's foundation has donated millions of dollars to The Salvation Army and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. Both organizations have a history of opposing same-sex marriage.

Chick-fil-A said it no longer funds the organizations.

"We made multi-year commitments to both organisations and we fulfilled those obligations in 2018," a spokeswoman for Chick-fil-A told the Thomson Reuters Foundation, adding the company would focus its giving on "education, homelessness and hunger."

When reached by CNBC, the company declined to comment further.

The Salvation Army said in a statement to CNBC that it was "saddened" to learn that a corporate partner was diverting its funding to other organizations.
