Cracker Barrel was castigated on social media for following in the bumbling footsteps of beleaguered woke corporations Target and Anheuser-Busch InBev by lionizing the LGBT agenda.
The uproar unfolded Thursday, shortly after the country-style restaurant and gift shop chain announced it was celebrating “Pride Month.”
To this end, Cracker Barrel changed its iconic storefront display of rocking chairs to showcase a rainbow-colored chair.
“We are excited to celebrate Pride Month with our employees and guests,” the Tennessee-based corporation wrote on Facebook. “Everyone is always welcome at our table (and our [rainbow] rocker). Happy Pride!”
While many of the responses to the post applauded the move, others expressed disappointment.
“One of my favorite places to eat. Not anymore. This is sad. I’ve always thought this was a family restaurant,” one woman posted, adding that it “makes me sick.”
Numerous Twitter users blasted the family-style restaurant chain for abandoning its roots to push a left-wing political agenda.

A once family-friendly establishment has caved to the mob,” the Texas Family Project tweeted Thursday, sharing images from the country’s website celebrating its “LGBT Alliance” for “Bringing the Front Porch to Pride.”
Another exasperated commenter tweeted: “Evidently, Cracker Barrel has been under a rock and missed the whole Bud Light/Target debacle.”
One self-professed gay Twitter user slammed Cracker Barrel’s performative virtue-signaling.
“Just stop it,” he tweeted. “Please just do your job and cook good food and keep your virtue-flagging to yourself. You’re going to alienate the straights AND the gays.”

Did they do anything for black history month?
I stopped eating there long ago. Their three basic food groups are sugar, salt and fat.
Fat is good for you.
For those doing the poll, its 94% no as of my posting.
I have no problem if they do something for black history month, but Pride no.
Just wondering if they’d picked pride over blacks.
I wonder who pushes these things on these corporations.
I mean specifically how it works.
As an aside, last time I went to Cracker Barrel the waiter was flaming.
Gay flag on rocking chairs represents the Bi members because it goes back and forth.???
Sadly, yes.
In August 2022, the company stirred controversy after it introduced a plant-based sausage made by Impossible Foods to its menu. The company’s Facebook page was flooded with angry comments about the “woke” menu addition, though some praised the company for appealing to vegan customers. Cracker Barrel responded to the controversy on Instagram, posting a picture of an Impossible sausage and a pork sausage shaking hands. “Cracker Barrel: Where pork-based and plant-based sausage lovers can breakfast all day in harmony,” the caption reads.
Why did the trans go to the fruit market?
To find a pear……
As much as I think Impossible burgers are unhealthy, I guess restaurants can try to cater to different customers.
I guess restaurants can try to cater to different customers.
The market place still works.
I wonder who pushes these things on these corporations.

Same here. Although in Cracker Barrel speak they refer to it as "Canadian History Month".
I suppose at some point businesses lose their connection to their customers. They don’t know them, they have rely on consultants to tell them, and of course the consultants don’t know them either.
