Businesses like Chick Fil-A have to be boycotted

It’s not about me personally. It’s about not rewarding a business that donates to organizations trying to convert or put the LGBT community in the closet. This isn’t something I obsess about, it is something I think if more people were aware of, the chain wouldn’t be as successful.

 

I have thankfully. Now for others to do the same.

 

I quite frankly wouldn’t be surprised if.Chick Fil-A made some sort of animate move to not employ gays. I’m sure they’d ask about it if it wasn’t forbidden in the EOR. Not sure, confident.

 

You worked in a fast food place?

 

Private school fine and simply saying they thank their god is not prohibited, it is when they begin to proselytize at a government funded and sponsored and sanctioned that it does. Back when my daughter was in high school and was in the ROTC several times we went to awards dinners and I still recall sitting there and a student gets to lead everyone in a prayer before we eat, that only is improper. Making it even more so it was a prayer to Jesus and how only through Jesus can one reach "salvation". I vividly recall a good friend of mine from high school who we always sat with her and her husband have to give that "look" to their children sitting there and then having to whisper and explain to them that they would reach heaven to even though they were Jewish. Why should a school event be telling Jewish kids that they will not reach heaven? And yes the God is the Christian God and many in this country do not trust in supernatural beings.

It is just as bad for government to force religious beliefs and sanction religious ceremony as for religious groups to do so. But guess what. I just ate at Chic-fil-a and nothing about religion was on display, in the music, nothing forced on me and it was PACKED.

 

Please boycott Chik Fil-A. The lines are too long.

The thing is there is no allegation (that I've read about) that Chic-Fil-A does anything but respect it's LGBT employees, as they do every other employee.

 

They won't discriminate against LGBT employees. All reports are that they treat their LGBT employees as well as they treat all of their employees.

 

Taxing church income flies in the face of the First Amendment. As Justice Marshall said (quoting Daniel Webster) "An unlimited power to tax involves, necessarily, a power to destroy." Taxing a church is unconstitutional.

 

No, I like their Chicken and if you want faith and your business to be intertwined so be it.

 

I support the boycott as a member of the right. There's always too much of a line at Chic Fil A. Maybe a boycott will reduce that and allow me to get my food faster.

 

You must not have ever eaten at Chic Fil A.

A reasonable meal there (regular chicken sandwich, waffle fries and a soft drink) are about 1000 calories.

 

Chic Fil A is growing much faster than McDonald's. Hard to say that their business model is a bad one. A typical Chic-Fil-A restaurant ($4.6 million a year) pulls in almost twice the sales of a typical McDonald's ($2.8 million a year)

I rarely eat fast food, unless I'm travelling. When I do Chick-Fil-A is my favorite choice (except of course, on Sundays).

 

Do you think 1,000 calories of fried food and sugary drink for ONE meal is a good healthy thing?

 

Totally against everything I've ever read about them.

 

The entire premise of this thread is dishonesty. They even attempted to smear the Salvation Army, in it.

 

Do you think MCdonalds, etc does any better?

Course not. Why would you even ask such a silly question?

 

I don't have a problem with personal boycotts, but where does it stop? Where is the line? There are leftists out there trying to get Mastercard to stop allowing right-wing businesses from taking credit cards, which is way over the line for me. A US Congressman doxxed a business and private citizens for contributing to Trump's campaign, which is way, WAY over the line for me. Then he compounded that by doxxing those citizens' employers, in a not-subtle way of trying to get those people fired. If any of those people do get fired, they should sue Joaquin Castro for tortious interference in a business relationship, and they should win. It seems nothing is too far for leftists, so I ask again, where is the line?

p.s. I almost never eat at Chik-Fil-A because I think they're overpriced for what you get. I'd rather have KFC if I'm getting chicken. The chicken is better, the fries are better, the biscuits are great, and KFC cole slaw is the ONLY cole slaw I've ever had that I liked. The mashed potatoes and gravy go right in the trash, however. 50 years and they still haven't fixed the nasty mashed potatoes.

 

It's half of what the ill-informed other poster claimed it was. So, comparatively it is.

I drink diet, so that would be 800 calories for me. It's not a good routine, but one meal of it is not going to kill anybody. They also have grilled chicken and salads available (and they are quite good, too).
(Grilled chicken sandwich and a salad are about 490 calories).

 

Did Chick Fil-A refuse service to a LGBTQ whatever?

WRONG!

WRONG!

WRONG!


The business of is business.

Competition.​

Political Beliefs.
Religious Attitudes.
Party Affiliation is NOT associated with business in true,

Just making a better product for less than the competition.​

Shame On You @Balto

E Pluribus Unum!
and
In God We Trust.​

Don't like it,
move to as so many promise but never manage.

Because YOU don't agree. Plenty of others do agree with CFA. Eye of the beholder, and all that.

PS: If more people knew about it they might be more successful, did you think of that? Not everyone shares your views.

 

Yes, and? If you think businesses all over the world aren't 'finding reasons' not to employ detectably LGBT people, you're a bit naive - with respect. It's par for the course.

 

Chick Fil A is opening a store in my area, first one. I'm going to go there often. God bless America.

I attended a gay pride parade a while back. I asked numerous people what LGBTQ stands for, but no one could give me a straight answer.

 

I see what you did there!
