Do you eat at Chick-Fil-A?

Agree. Do I expect all home services contractors to be in lock step with my belief system? My grocery store? My gas station? How about each of my DC teachers? I truly don’t care…

Hell no. Don’t support far right hate. And the food is crap

No. I don’t eat fast food.

You'd have a hard time finding examples of hate coming from Chick-Fil-A.

I love their food and their customer service. If that's what happens when a Christian runs a restaurant company, it's a better advertisement for the religion than most other proselytizing.

I have a different perspective. My DS is trans and worked at a DC Chick-fil-A. He had a good experience and the business was fine with LGBTQ issues. That made me feel okay with it.

Tolerance is not love.

Disagreement is not hate.

So you're completely OK with profits being channeled to hate organizations? Gross.

Which “hate” organizations are you referring to?

They treat their employees very well and they are very open to hiring people with intellectual disabilities (my friend in another state has a son with autism who had a great experience working there). I eat there occasionally and like that they are a good employer, that's one place the ownership's values show in a positive way.

Chick-Fil-A as a corporation seems to have stopped donations, but the owner/CEO Dan Cathy still supports hate groups like Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Salvation Army, and a dark-money group that works to keep The Equality Act from passing.

Enjoy your hate sandwich!

This is an interesting perspective, and it is great your kid has a good experience in a supportive work environment. In this job market though, it seems like your child has an abundance of choices where to work, curious why Chick-fil-A.

It's not so much the CEo's opinion that bothers me, it's that they specifically take the money I give them for food and turn it into donations to deprogramming and other anti-gay programs)

Do you eat at Jimmy John’s? The owner pays to hunt endangered species.
Lots of owners of big chains support causes we don’t or do things we don’t approve of. Chick FIL A just got a lot of publicity about it.

NP. The Jimmy Johns thing is no secret and was widely publicized. No, I don't give them my money either. Plenty of other options without financially supporting jackholes.

I eat it guiltily. Even my lesbian DD admits it’s really good. We did learn to make the copy cat using Aldi products so maybe we’ll stop now.
