The Chickening turned Chick-fil-A gay

Business Insider reports that after facing years of criticism and negative publicity, chicken sandwich OG Chick-fil-A announced Monday that it would no longer be making charitable donations to the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and the Salvation Army—two organizations with decidedly anti-LGBTQ stances. The company said in a press release that it would “deepen its giving to a smaller number of organizations working exclusively in the areas of education, homelessness and hunger.”
A company representative said in a statement to Business Insider, “We made multiyear commitments to both organizations, and we fulfilled those obligations in 2018. Moving forward you will see that the Chick-fil-A Foundation will support the three specific initiatives of homelessness, hunger and education.” |

Oh, yeah. There's one on Hawthorne Blvd. near where I work that has it.
This is from a 5 star Yelp review.

Popeye's has them too though.

about 12 years ago I went to LA and stayed at the Westin on Sepulveda? Just down from LAX.. There was a Taco Bell across the street on a little sliver of property. Bars on all the apartment windows behind it..
So, I just wanted to see what was up.. went there and it was a bulletproof drive thru.. tripped out this bumpkin
Then I needed to withdraw cash on Sunday and I had US Bank.. So, I looked for the closest US Bank and it was in a Vons about 8 miles east of the airport area... Mini branch 8 inch thick bulletproof glass and the only white people in the store were me, the teller behind the glass and some 80 year old man.. country boy shock.. |

finally tried it. Was very good but it has the same pet peeve that a surprisingly large amount of chicken sandwich joints have... the lack of options. I want the option to load up my sandwich up with all the fixins if Im in the mood... cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomato, avocado, etc _________________ (bleep) Kawhi |

I think their response is basically they are not a sandwich joint and it is not cost efficient for them to stock a full line of toppings when they only have one sandwich. In contrast Burger joints like Wendy's can offer all these toppings because they are required for the burgers. |

I wouldn't go so far as to call either of them bad but I would say that FoCA having their members sign a statement that bans homosexual activity is problematic. Based on the quick research I've done on SA it appears they may be the victim of misinformation and misguided hate.
The reason I see this as a win is that a company (CFA) realized that supporting companies that are bigoted is not a good idea. And while this is probably more profit driven than moral driven it is still a move in the right direction - tolerance. |
