I had idiosyncratic tastes as a child. For whatever reason, I preferred Burger King fries to McDonald’s fries, and always preferred BK over its more iconic rival. In recent years, I’ve gravitated toward Popeye’s and Chick-fil-A. I haven’t darkened the doorstep of a Burger King in years, and thanks to the company’s newest marketing campaign, I’m likely to avoid BK for the foreseeable future.
Last Thursday, Burger King announced that part of every chicken sandwich order will go to support the LGBT activist group Human Rights Campaign (HRC).
“The ChKing says LGBTQ+ rights! During [pride] month (even on Sundays) your chicken sandwich craving can do good! We are making a donation* to [HRC] for every Ch’King sold,” the company announced. Between June 3 and June 30, Burger King will contribute 40 cents to HRC, up to a maximum donation of $250,000.
*6/3-6/30 with every Ch'King sold, BK will contribute 40₵ to the Human Rights Campaign (Max. donation $250k)

This big announcement involves little more than virtue signaling on the part of Burger King, but it will also likely alienate conservative Christians who understand the marketing.
Christians should be compassionate toward LGBT people, but we cannot celebrate their lifestyles.
The Bible is clear that God made humans male and female (Genesis 1:27, Mark 10:6, Matthew 19:4) and that marriage is between one man and one woman (Genesis 2:24). The male-female definition of marriage is not just a lifestyle in the Bible — it is a mystery that prefigures the marriage between God and His church (Ephesians 5:31-32).

I will order a triple whopper with cheese. As I am driving away from the drive thru I will yell PRAISE THE LORD…
Could be that they want to go bankrupt.They may have unpayable debt. Completely turned me off when i found out they were charging 7 bucks for their impossible burger. They had a winner with the old giant whopper...long ago. Gone...bye...bye.
hold the special sauce
I like the McDees coffee, but I’ll drop it like a hand grenade with no pin in it if they go weird.
I was never a fan of tbeirs
I stopped most FF. Eat lunch at several local food trucks who I know are conservative.
Maybe Burger King should bring back their “Where’s Herb” ad campaign.
Cute dig at Chik-Fil-A. /not
You don’t have it then.
I gave up on Burger King after they came out with the “Pride Whopper”. Fortunately, Phoenix has no shortage of good fast food/chain hamburgers (Five Guys, In ‘n Out, Culver’s, Freddie’s, Smashburger, The Habit).
If I want chicken, I’ll go to a real chicken joint (Harold’s, Lo-Lo’s).
When I was young I remember there was a burger queen. They later changed the name to druthers. But Burger King is really screwing themselves.
Why pander to such a tiny minority. Why pander to anyone. Sell your product to anyone who wants it.
It should read Burger Queer
I do not think it is a coincidence that Burger King would select its chicken sandwich to benefit the perverts. This is because the perverts frequently refer to their preferred victims as ‘chickens’. Which causes me to suspect that Burger King is being run by paedophiles.
They will never see my business again. And I really enjoy a good Whopper.
The real shame is that people need a political cause to quit poisoning themselves with this crap
at ;least 90% of fast food is pure toxic garbage and people wonder why everyone is so damned fat and unhealthy.
Otherwise, I don't pay any attention to what gays do.
They make up an average of 5% of the population. The Left acts like they comprise 95% of the population.
Going to miss their chicken sandwich.
Not that McDonalds is any better when it comes to supporting left wing activities but McDonald’s fries are not too bad while Berger King fries taste like cardboard (no flavor).
But to the subject of fast food in general. One can shop for decent sirloin steaks around here for 8-10 dollars a pound, less in many cases, take it home, cook it with 50 cents worth of frozen french fries (in an air frier), serve with a drink for less cost than a fast food “value meal”.
