Shouldn’t have chickened out in the first place.
Reminds me of Exxon going from anti-climate change scam to spending millions push to push the scam. Why can’t they just say nothing?
“donate to anti-LGBTQ”
—
Orwellian abuse of the English language.
The article and the publication seem Very pro’gay’.
No THIS is fake news - this is from the PR statement they made yesterday which makes no mention of LGBT causes (pro or con)
““Our goal is to donate to the most effective organizations in the areas of education, homelessness and hunger,” Chick-fil-A President and COO Tim Tassopoulos said in a statement. “No organization will be excluded from future consideration – faith based or non-faith based.”
This article is a lie.
Day late and a dollar short.
Who else would brandish the Salvation Army as an extremist group?
A google search reveals this photo on Metro Weekly but not to which article it belongs (or whether it is the author).
It is a disrespectful misogynist "Catholic face" appropriation of religious identity.
Sometimes I’d like companies just to sell products and Sierra Tango Foxtrot Uniform.
[[conservatives who called the end of the donations “tragic” and a betrayal of loyal (presumably anti-LGBTQ) customers]]
So we can retort something along the lines of “This article was written by a publication that presumably worships Satan and does human sacrifices”, right metroweekly? Since we’re interjecting OPINIONS into our reporting now?
You don’t get to presume what supporters of Chic-fil-A are and are not! A Person does NOT have to support gay marriage in order to support gay people’s right to constitutional rights, and their free will rights to disobey God and reject Him - and when a person supports someone’s constitutional rights and free will rights- , that does NOT make them anti-whatever! I don’t support ancient Myan practice of brutal warfare— that does not mean I’m ‘anit-myan’ for crying out loud!
whenever the press says so and so is “backtracking” be very very skeptical. Ok be skeptical of everything they write
How did this dipshit con the ChicFilA Family into breaking what didn't need fixing?
Was the Cathey Family so out-of-touch that they didn't see what happened to Target and JC Penney when they went 'woke'?
At the minimum they could have told Timmy 'if you want to keep your job, do the changes invisibly'.
Oy, I just read this story from when Tassapooponus was promoted:
"The promotion also he is also another step in the family-owned business adopting more of a corporate governance model to reflect the growing nature of the company."The relationship between Dan and me has to be as fresh and new as the marketplace is today," Tassopoulos said. "We have to be innovative."
How could they not have foreseen the huge mistake they made. They have lost their Christian integrity with millions of fans and supporters. Will be difficult to get back, if they can.
Man I would be mad if I were a franchise owner. Stupid, stupid, stupid.
The chicken sandwiches are fairly squishy but more reliable than the squishy company management.
Sorry Chick-a-Fill, vague promises won’t get this conservative back. Let’s see some funding start moving, and then I’ll reconsider.
This game of chicken is tiring. I’m just going to stop eating there. Hope they close. Had enough. If you don’t stand for something then you don’t stand for anything at all. Cathy n-company has made a mockery of everyone trying to skate on a razor’s edge.
CFA is a multibillion dollar company and they are bowing to gay lobby over a few small shops in airports and a pop up in England. Thats greed. The same God that created natural marriage is the same one of the Sabbath. I worked for CFA and saw this coming. As soon as the next generation of Cathys dies they will be open on Sundays. Mark my words. Truett is rolling over in his grave. Our family stopped eating at CFA and are encouraging others to have their kids quit working there. Its one thing to be a secular restaurant but its not good to be a secular restaurant and use Christianity to further your profits. You’re either Christian or you’re not, you can’t straddle the fence and expect us to support you.
“...the Salvation Army ... focus its donations on “education, homelessness and hunger.”
