...more...Chick-fil-A deserves credit for its labor practices (it boasts the lowest rate of wage violations in the industry); its generous philanthropy, which now largely focuses on youth and education ($9 million in scholarships for team members this year); as well as its LGBTQ outreach efforts at the franchise level. But none of that detracts from the following: A billion-dollar company whose foundation spent a small fortune funding groups that oppose equal rights for marginalized and bullied people cant expect their restaurants to feel like truly hospitable places if it cant even mention those marginalized and bullied people on its websites equal opportunity statement.
A sense of welcomeness for all can be tough to divine when the corporate parent of your local fast-food outlet continues to donate millions to the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, a sports ministry that asks its volunteers to check an online box and agree that marriage is exclusively between a man and a woman, and whose local chapters require camp staffers and student leaders to pledge they wont engage in homosexual acts, described as a sin.
In case youd like to know what your order of nuggets is implicitly endorsing.
I dont mention this to dispute Chick-fil-As constitutional right to free speech. I mention this because it will take a lot more than a smile and a chicken sandwich, quite frankly, to convince people who dont want to dine or work there that the chain is a positive addition to the community, rather than one whose mere presence, if only prospective, symbolizes exclusion and inspires protest.

Hmmm. Might need to swing by there for breakfast tomorrow. Depends on if I have the time to wait 20 min in line.
Not because of poor service....because the lines are ALWAYS that long at the CFA nearby.
I don't think that they've much to worry about. :-)

I’m not much into chicken (although their Chik-n-Minis and their soup are great), but I drop by there occasionally to get something just to support them. Buycotts work better than boycotts. Buy Chik-fil-A.
To: UB355
Yep, sounds good. I was wondering what I would grab on the way to my golf league tonight. This unhinged loon just helped me decide.

With all due respect, Mr. Sutton, you probably shouldn’t think that anyone gives the slightest s**t about what you think. K?

Now I know not to eat at Shake Shack anymore. Chick-fil-A is great.

I am scratching my head a bit. Like other fast food, there is too much salt. But where is the reason not to eat there mentioned in the headline?

It’s reviews like this that make me go out of my way to eat at chic-fil-a.
And I’ll now avoid shake shack.

I happen to liek Chick-Fil-A
Their food is good, service excellent, restaurants are spotless. What's not to love.
as far as homosexuality is a mental illness, yes...it is.
AS with the jerk-off who made that stupid movie Super-Size Me.....Who eats there every day?

How is it discriminatory if the job application form doesn’t mention sexual orientation?
