    Chick Fil-A is actually quite expensive, a little more expensive than Wendy's or Sonic. McDonald's is cheaper than CFA or the two others mentioned.

    Is that what you say to the numbnuts who boycott Disneyland or burn their Nikes?

    Remember the time the homonazis tried to boycott Chik fil A a few years ago? Hundreds of thousands came to the stores on Chick fil A appreciation day and waited in block long lines to buy delicious sandwiches.

    Besides, the support for normal marriage was NOT forwarded by the company, but by its founder Truett Cathey, independently of the business. Seems like all the caterwauling and whining and boycotting of Chik fil A by the homofascists in the last few years has resulted in the chain recently being named the most popular fast food chain.

    Try that boycott again, homofascists, see what happens. Normal people are tired of being bullied by crazy people who think a man can be a woman.

    Really?
    "Gabriel Aguiniga, a gay employee at a Chick-fil-A in Colorado, also said the hardest part hasn’t been hearing Cathy’s comments. Instead, “[it’s] constantly having people come up to you and say, ‘I support your company, because your company hates the gays,’” Aguiniga, 18, wrote in an email. “It really takes a toll on me.”

    "Another former employee, who worked at the Chick-fil-A in Chicago, said he thought the culture of the company encouraged homophobia."

    “It’s a very monochromatic, white, male driven company,” said Andrew Mullen, a gay 26-year-old who quit his job last winter after less than a year with the company. Once, Andrew recalled, a company operator leading an employee training session, saw two men kissing on the patio outside the restaurant and proclaimed to the group he was leading that he thought it was “disgusting.” Mullen later told the person in charge of corporate training about the incident, and the man was fired. “[This person] was very apologetic for it, and there are a few people here like that, but from what I saw, it’s a predominantly pro-ignorant culture.”

    "One gay employee who works at Chick-fil-A headquarters in Atlanta, Ga., and asked to remain anonymous for fear of losing his job, says he is getting it from both sides. On the one hand, there is the customer who came in and said he supported Dan Cathy and then “continues to say something truly homophobic, e.g. ‘I’m so glad you don’t support the queers, I can eat in peace,’” the employee, who is 23 and has worked for Chick-fil-A since he was 16, wrote in an email. On the other hand, he continued, “I was yelled at for being a god-loving, conservative, homophobic Christian while walking some food out to a guest in a mall dining room.”

    The company itself took no position. The founder was the one who was an advocate of normal marriage. Neither one made any comment opposing those who engage in aberrant sexual relationships or who have mental disorders that allow men to pretend to be women. They have, however, resisted being bullied by fascists in the "LGBTQWERTY" movement.

    Huffpost? Right. I am SURE everyone of those accounts is just as true as true can be. Did one of those interviewed have the name Jussie Smollett? Being disgusted at seeing two men kissing is wrong....how?

    I wouldn't pay 2 cents for over crowded - packed to the brim - Disneyland.
    I remember the real Disneyland. And the value of an "E" ticket.
    But, that is a consumer's choice. Not Disneyland politik.


    Is Nike using Chinese or Vietnamese Child labor, again? I hadn't heard.
    Maybe look for a "made in :flagus:" label. ;)

    McDonald's gives to the Ronald McDonald Foundation.
    Wendy's gives back to the Dave Thomas for Adoption and Wendy's Wonderful Kids.
    Chick Fil-A gives to organizations that impose conversion therapy on homosexuals....

    Something would suggest along the way that McDonald's and Wendy's are being more "Christian" in their philanthropic work. How this can sit well in anyone's conscience, especially Christian people, it just doesn't make any sense. That's why it has to be a lack of public awareness of CFA's terrible taste in organizations, because where you do business, where you work, you approve of everything that company says and does.

    a
    Inaccurate, there is no slander against the Salvation Army. The organization has at least made an effort to be more well, Christian and be accepting of the LGBT community than it was in the early 2000's with the incidents I cited.

    Chick Fil A isn't forcing conversion therapy on homosexuals. Absurd.

    People (the right) are boycotting Nike and Disneyland and Twitter and all kinds of businesses...they love to boycott because of politics and religion, etc.

    So do you scold them?

    CFA still voluntarily donated to them, which would go to imply CFA as a corporation supports conversion therapy. You can't blame people for calling CFA out as anti-LGBT after they've made such open donations by the hundreds of thousands.

    Lesson from CFA. Be wiser on who you donate to.

    There are none where I live, but if there were, I'd definitely boycott them as would most of the people that I know.

    So you admit no one is forced to attend conversion therapy. This is a free country and everyone can donate to any organization they want. If you don't like CFA, don't do business with them.

    Well the organization was founded in 76, it was later closed down and its founder renounced conversion therapy...people learn a lot and change...it is something to admire. That people can change a lot since the late 70s ...it’s called being open minded.

    Do you scold people on the right that boycott businesses because of politics and/or religion?

    It's a simple question.

    Because from what I can see, people on the right tend to be quite hypocritical in that regard.

    And sometimes we unlearn things.

    If you doubt this, just look at what happened to the Brits after the Romans left. They even forgot how to build in stone. It's why the several hundred years after was called The Dark Ages.
