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.

Because they are infested at high levels by the 1%.
They will no longer be the BSA when they do, like the denominations that went homosexual friendly are but a mere shadow of their former self.
Mostly Mexi restaurants, and of course we’re seeing them with landscaping and construction companies, etc, but not too much with restaurants... yet.
I’m not saying do this at just one store, or a few stores, but company wide. A boycott won’t work on a national level. They’ll get enough business despite a boycott, with perhaps exceptions in specific areas. Having to throw out a lot of product nationwide makes a bigger impact.
Concise message sent. They withdrew their sponsorship. I withdrew my family’s patrongage. Adios, Chipolte, forever.
We’re sorry we’ve offended you and regret any offense taken to this difficult decision that we’ve made.
Sincerely,
Tim

Tim,,,It really wasn’t a difficult decision....Just a stupid one.
Either way, what do you hope the BSA’s decision is going to be?
A lot of that outcome depends on whatever the stance of the organizations with membership in the BSA leadership feel or do. Hopefully the religious backgrounds play a good decision. I hope this because I am a scout, and proud of all the achievements and life skills I made in scouting, but my concern lies as to the day where the BSA either caves or simply decides to shut down instead of accept a certain decision.
Sometimes May doesn’t come soon enough!
Awesome to know. Chipotle supports sodomy. I’ll be sure to avoid the dumps.
No problem.
If bending over for homosexuals is more important for this restaurant then standing by the Boyscouts and morality then this business can KMA and do without my business. So long dumbasses............
Chipotle is not bad, but for the same money (sometimes less) I can get a pretty good burrito from a local taqueria. I guess I now have another reason not to eat there.
point is....HOW do we know Col. was just not another state stolen in the election?...
OUR opinions are being swallowed up by these wide brushes of how all these people voted for bamey the boy, and infact, IMO, he stole this past election...
who is the suit that made this bone head decision?
pissing off 98% of the population for the 2% that don’t even eat such food?
so much of post event rug rat picnicing.
chipolte stock USED to be hot hot hot.
now it is jcpenny.
they moved to Col and live near ski country...and yep, they are about as liberal as can be, even after all the years of taking defense money....
True, if it was a widespread, nationwide action. Count me in if you can swing it.
My line is driving past the neighborhood Chipolte to the Qdoba six blocks farther for my fake Mexican food fix
But....I keep track of who the Sex Deviate Sympathizers are......
I have never and will never eat at Chipotle’s ever.
