My mom and I are still boycotting Chick-Fil-A. We both have never eaten there and since learning of their hatred of gay people, it has made us completely eliminate the thought of even wanting to try it.

My uber-religious aunt and her husband were like we have to take you guys to Chick-Fil-A some time, and Im like hell no.

I will not support this business that hates who I am as a gay man, and my mom is a huge LGBT ally who will not be supporting them as well.

I've never eaten there before anyway just because there's not one around me. I don't announce it because whatever.

It's funny how if Chick Fil A were a Muslim owned establishment that most Libs would suddenly respect the religion.

Eh, I separate people's views and whatever from the product they serve.

I still listen to Brand New and Mest. I still eat the pasta brand of that owner who said anti-gay things. I'm not American but if Chick-fil-A made good chicken sandwiches, I'd still eat there. None of them reflect my views as a person but as a consumer, gimme gimme gimme

A high ranking Chick Fil A employee could hold a press conference just to say "Fuck all black people, especially CableZL," and I'd still pull up to the drive through and order a spicy chicken deluxe, waffle fries, and a lemonade.

Your loss. The owners are Christian and recognize that LGBT is incompatible with Christianity. They also have the nicest people at any fast food restaurant I have ever had the privilege of attending. I would guess that they do not actively discriminate against LGBT in their restaurants but may share their opinion of the group publicly. They wont lose that much revenue from this stance as they offer a quality experience at a great price.

No they wouldn't, lol

If it were Muslim-owned and they were explicitly anti-LGBT, guarantee the same people would be upset

Most large, established companies are run by old white guys... So if I boycotted every place whose CEO or founder donated to things I don't agree with, I'd never be able to go anywhere.

I don't get it, there are a couple of gay dudes at the chic-fil-a in my area. By you boycotting, you're saying you don't think gay people should have jobs.

Well the boycott did work, Chick-Fila stopped donating money to anti-gay organizations.

But anyways I don't enjoy the food all to well, but I do appreciate the great customer service and the fact the company treats their employee's really well. Good example of social responsibilities that more companies need to follow.

I can understand your reasoning, but like someone else said most big companies are probably ran by shitty people. CFA is way too good to boycott.

Also, I love CFA for that very reason... not caving to other people's beliefs.

I will extend an olive branch to the gay community though, by saying that I'm fucking annoyed that they're always closed on Sundays.

They're still going to be successful regardless of you boycotting them and what is there really left for him to spend his money on that's anti gay? It was one thing before gay marriage passed, but now there's gay marriage and pretty good anti discrimination parts for the most part. Some old man behind the times isn't going to change that now.

Their whole "close on Sundays" thing does speak to their alignment. I've always been a little leery of their willingness to mix personal faith with business practice.

I won't eat there either. Their support for Proposition 8 (CA) did it for me. Codifying discrimination in the state constitution is wrong.

It's literally just the CEO and he stated his views do not represent those of the company.

And it was just a stance on gay marriage. It wasn't like "oh shit we found some dirt on him of when he slashed a gay couples tires"
