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.”

I spent my money at Bob Evens tonight, and the only rainbow in sight was the packs of Skittles at the checkout. All they sold me was a nice evening with a fully belly. THAT’s why I spent my money there.
Eh, it’s Crapper Barrel, run-of-the-mill fare. Been there on a gift cert, burped it up. Fragrantly rememberable, though...
Makes Waffle House look even better...
Well if they did a black history month celebration they would probably need to rename it those 30 days to something other than “cracker” barrel
How can CB speak about this for all their guests? I’ve eaten there, liked the food, but sure don’t want to be included as approving what they are claiming “pride” for.
True to a degree but healthy eating and Cracker Barrel aren’t in the same thought.
