[quote=Anonymous]I do very occasionally, even though I don't like their stance on gay marriage or other LGBTQ+ issues. In general we try not to patronize businesses with these kinds of political stances (Chick-Fil-A, Urban Outfitters, etc.). But we also don't like to patronize businesses that have poor employment practices, and if we are on a road trip and I need to pick between the two, I'll choose the business with the bad politics over the one that actively takes advantage of their employees.

Ultimately, I think the people who own Chick-fil-a are relatively powerless over the shifting attitudes in this country wrt LGBTQ+ issues, as well as other "family values" issues. I think coordinated boycotts are really tough because consumers often have limited choices, and I'm not going to judge anyone who eats at Chick-fil-a or orders from Amazon because I don't know what went into those decisions.

BUT, if given a choice, I will make a different one. I'm just not militant about it and think there are better ways to combat conservative politics than yelling at people for eating a chicken sandwich.[/quote]
