After they got banned by yet another university, Chick-fil-A is now begging people to stop associating them with being against gays:

https://www.eater.com/2018/11/28/18116008/chick-fil-a-anti-gay-rider-university
Chick-fil-A has responded to officials at Rider University, who nixed the fast-food chain as a potential on-campus dining options because of its anti-gay history. Rider Universitys survey was recently brought to our attention, and while we respect the Universitys decision, this news story represents a good opportunity to clarify misperceptions about our brand, says a company attorney in a statement provided to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Chick-fil-A is a restaurant company focused on food, service and hospitality, and our restaurants and licensed locations on college campuses welcome everyone. We have no policy of discrimination against any group, and we do not have a political or social agenda. More than 120,000 people from different backgrounds and beliefs represent the Chick-fil-A brand.

That may be true, but it does not change chief executive officer Dan Cathys 2012 comments on the subject or Chick-fil-As numerous charitable donations to organizations with anti-LGBTQ+ policies in the years since. That could be a problem for the chain as it continues to expand into new markets.

Yes, I already stated they simply stopped donating to anti gay stuff (or at least "promised" to). But is that all they did?

Say what you will about the food but they rarely get your orders wrong and they serve you quickly no matter how many people are in line. Workers always seem nice and respectable at every branch I've been to. Them and Cane's are probably the best when it comes to this

They dont discriminate in hiring, as far I know. I mean that would be illegal. And I dont think Ive ever heard of them not serving to customers, regardless of sexual preference.

People are outraged at the organization anyway?

Do you not know why? It's circulated the news and social media often enough. I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt in that you just happened to miss it every single time, rather than that you're just being dishonest.

They do plenty of stuff, they gave food out to people who donated blood after the Pulse Nightclub shooting, on a Sunday too.

People just ignore it because they want to sit on their superior post.

that should have been the end of it
but anti-SJWs now instead talk about chick fil a when they want to insult gay people but not get called out for it
basically "im going to chick fil a" as an alternative to the F word by this point

FCA and Salvation Army are some of these anti gay groups people are mad at Chick Fil A donating to. Have people ever been to an FCA meeting in HS? They dont sit around and lament the existence of gay people. I ain't even Christian but come on man. People just dont like it that they're a privately held Christian organization and donate to Christian groups as such.

Dont like it, dont eat there. Seems colleges are following suit so good for them. Now college kids dont have to walk in front of the oppressive chicken joint and the students that really crave the bigoted chicken can go off campus to get their fix.

So they donated, in the past, to an organization that probably had some overt agenda (amongst other likely more ethical ones) to support hetero marriage.

Obviously the company is anti-gay and should be punished.

It wouldn't mean anything. Religious people are religious, first and foremost. The religion they follow is quite clearly not pro gay. Apologizing would be them lying to you.

Probably better to not put themselves on liberal college campuses tbh.

I mean, do they even have vegan options?

It is only a matter of time before their cow ads are calles cultural appropriation of civil rights activism.

Tbh I dont think they should. Go look up their sales, they ain't hurtin. If their Christian image is that important then they should just let this go. They're still on a bunch of other campuses and I'm sure they have locations next to campus as well.
