Chipotle Mexican Grill has pulled its sponsorship of Utah's "Scout-O-Rama" because of the Boy Scouts of America's long-standing ban on gays.
The popular Colorado-based restaurant chain initially signed on to provide about $4,200 worth of coupons to the Utah Boy Scouts' annual event, scheduled for May 4 in a Salt Lake City suburb. The Boy Scouts' Great Salt Lake Council is one of the largest in the country, with the majority of troops sponsored by Mormon churches.

Contract law might win on this.
Someone ping me the first time a Hispanic politician stops eating at Chipotle!
They are one step above Taco Bell. You haven't missed anything. Now that my kids are grown, we don't go to either anymore. Haven't for years.
An unfortunate choice of words.
I suggest that all Christians refrain from patronizing these progressive establishments. My list “will never go there again” keeps getting bigger. They may change their tune if millions of people stop giving them business.
I went to the website, to the place where you can ask for sponsorship of fundraisers, etc. On the application, it says:
“Chipotle will not support organizations that discriminate against a person or a group on the basis of age, political affiliation, race, national origin, ethnicity, gender, disability, sexual orientation or religious belief.
I have read the above guidelines and my request(s) meet the criteria.”
I wonder what the Boy Scouts put on their application. I also wonder why Chipotle didn’t notice a problem until after they had gotten the Boy Scouts’ hopes up. What a fiasco.
How are Chik-fil-a’s burritos?
If Amnesty passes - yes.
Chik-fil-A no got pork.....
Chipotle was OK but not spectacular. I won’t miss eating there.
Liberals preach diversity but demand homogeneity.
In Liberal-Land there actually is no acceptance of diverse opinion.
Everyone must conform to Liberal-Think
Everyone must live in a way approved by liberals.

You're either with G-d, or against Him. Winnowing fork, indeed.
Absolutely, but most importantly, LET THEM KNOW.
Why are they pandering to 1% of the population?
1.7% (approximately four million) of the US population is afflicted with sexual disorientation.
Why any business thinks it’s a good idea to side with them against the other 98.3% of the public is just mind-boggling.
I think In and Out Burger still makes the 'all clear' list.
You are right though, too many companies are jumping on the pro-Sodomite bandwagon. I have no idea why. They've bought into the devil's lie that this is somehow equivalent to the Civil Rights battles of 1960s (and frankly, although there were real issues that needed addressing, the 'victories' won in those battle appear to be Pyrrhic, at best). They stick a finger into the eye of fairly large number of their potential customers to curry favor with a few deviants.
I’ve never eaten at a Chipotle’s and guess I never will.
One thing I do much more nowadays is to frequent restaurants that are individual, independent, mom-and-pop establishments. I do this almost entirely, especially when I travel. In fact, same with other businesses, like the clothing store I use.
Less chance of my money getting into the hands of some big corporate, anti-Christian entity, which attacks my values and supports a downright evil agenda. I’m not about to hand over my hard-earned money to them if I can help it.
There is very little to be accomplished at the store level, were grunt employees are probably completely oblivious to the politics of any protestation you might make, and would be unlikely to relay that message to the people who need to know if they were aware of it.
Better to just cease patronizing them, tell every conservative you know, and then write, call, email the corporate office to let them know they lost a lot of business.
Diane Feistein said her gun control bill didn’t prohibit certain guns - they just weren’t included in the list of guns “protected” by the bill.
In the same way, the BSA doesn’t discriminate against homosexualism - it’s just not a type of conduct “protected” by the Scout Law.
Definitely bummed there is no In-N-Out burger here in the midwest.
Loved it on vacation in Az.
