Left Calls for Boycott of Chick-fil-A over Marriage Stance
pjmedia.com ^ | 6/13/2018 | Matt Margolis

. Earlier this week Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey was forced to apologize after eating at Chick-fil-A… during Pride Month! The horror! Twitter and Square CEO Jack Dorsey ignited a backlash online after revealing that he ate at Chick-fil-A this month.

On Saturday, Dorsey posted a photo on Twitter with the caption "Boost @ChickfilA," showing he had saved 10% on a $31.58 order at the fast-food chain. A "boost" is a cashback reward Square users can earn when using a Cash Card, which is a debit card from the payment platform.

Critics immediately seized on Dorsey's support of Chick-fil-A — whose CEO has come under fire for his views on same-sex marriage in the past — during Pride Month.

"You must love the taste of bigotry!" one person wrote in response.

"Why is Twitter boosting a notoriously anti-gay company during #PrideMonth?" another person wrote.

Among the critics was the former CNN anchor Soledad O'Brien, who said, "This is an interesting company to boost during Pride month, @jack."

Dorsey responded: "You're right. Completely forgot about their background."

America is becoming one big High School. Complete with bullies and peer pressure groups.

They should call it “Tantrumbook”

I guess I have to start going out of my way to eat there again.
It’s hard to eat there when you live in the middle of nowhere, USA, but I’ve done it before.
I’ll be near one next Tuesday. Planning on two meals....

“This is one boycott which will not make a dent in sales I guarantee it.”

This will boost sales at Chick-fil-A, but Twitter and Square will see a large dent in sales.

saw this on linked-in in response to an article on this

Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Mao Zedong, and Pol Pot would so enjoy the current level of self-imposed thought control, rampant in an ever growing group of cowering people of little account.

Way back in my Drum Corps days (Spirit of Atlanta Drum & Bugle Corps), I had the privilege of performing at Chick-Fil-A Headquarters in Atlanta. They fed us and gave us T-shirts.

This was in the middle '80s, so I've been a Chick-Fil-A fan longer than most.

Riddle us this leftards. Name one Chick fil A eatery that has prevented one of you perverts from getting ‘married’ or interrupted your gay sexual flings? You gay queens have it so good in America plus you can eat delicious chicken sandwiches from CfA anytime and anywhere you wish. Effin drama queens.

I don’t eat out a lot anywhere, but I eat at Chick-fil-A every time the leftist thugs threaten them. I like Chick-fil-A food a lot.

What’s the definition of insanity again? Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result?
