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.”

They went after those five black cops in Tennessee, and said they were white supremacist.
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.

And relying on a survey is the most stupid but it is easy.
The old fashioned talking to your customers still works.
My friend here in TN has known the family well that started CB and they were collecting vintage stuff for decor. She is livid about this.
“I have no problem if they do something for black history month”
I’s have a big problem with it.

CB has been proudly woke and gay since at least 2018. No one noticed until now?
I think I see the problem…
It used to be a pretty fun place to eat at. Oh well.
All I can say is there is nothing “gay” or celebratory about men and boys stuffing their peckers into each other’s oral and rectal cavities. How restaurants and corporations are given to make statements about those practices is, frankly, beyond alarming.
Christian Crackas ain’t gonna be goin there no mo.
Boycott Caca Barrel. That garbage will make you fat fast...
there are plenty of “cracker barrels” all over the country
mom and pop storefronts that serve great food
stay local/stay unwoke
stop feeding the beast
The 3 legs of the food triangle...
Like all the other woke companies, their stock is tanking. Boycotts work.
I can’t often go there, but it WAS one of my favorite places to eat. Maybe not so much anymore.
Here's a link to a good explanation:

Which means their restaurant is probably diseased from all the faggotry
Well, this is one more business I will boycott!
I have no problem with gay people or people of other races. What I have an insurmountable problem with, however, is self-righteous companies (or people) trying to get inside my head. I simply refuse to do business with them.
Toodles, good luck, you are now a "woke" restaurant, and you are officially on your own.
So many excellent alternative choices happen to exist, and we Traditional American Values customers all know them.
