What you may not know about Chick-fil-A

atomiczombie · 12-02-2011, 06:56 PM

I have known this about Chick-fil-A for a long time. I have never been to one because I don't eat fast food, but my cousin take her kids there to eat all the time and I have tried to talk to her about it. I think she is uncomfortable because she supports gay rights, but still likes Chick-fil-A for her picky kids. :/

I never heard of the joint till last week when some dude got pissed cause the Chick was stealing his shirts....

I found out we have one here by the University.

I had to read a little more here to figure out why they would be closed on Sunday 's cause they don't like the gays... ahhh I quickly found out "it's a Religious" thing.

Personally I think more businesses should be closed on Sunday. We really do need a day of "rest".... (I don't need a day of praying)

Well they are getting the free publicity out of all the chatter every where you turn...

I guess we can't get everyone to like us because of our color, our looks, our sexual preferences and so on....

People will chose to go or not go!

I don't want or need to them to "like" me. I just want them to stop spending millions of dollars to promote an anti-GLBT agenda.

I know that you can find fault with many different companies. Some treat women badly or have horrible working conditions, etc.

But I really think Chick-fil-A is in a different category. The profits from the business get funneled directly to far Right Wing organizations that are actively working to stop the advancement of LGBT rights. It's almost like the business exists so it can make money for this purpose.

Why contribute to your own oppression by eating there?

Retouching on what BB has already said here. It is shocking to see the amount this company has actually contributed towards anti gay movements. Numbers don't lie and while I can't locate 2010's stats here is 2009. I can't stand the place even before this came out but this has me sickened. 2 million dollars is more than just a random amount given to any cause. If you read the article it is even more disturbing to see their choices of right wing groups they fund
