We can now eat at Chick Fil a without feeling guilty

JFC, OP. Die in a grease fire.

They are opening another one in Toronto

I still don't trust them. They're still uber Evangelical.

Not for a while.

Link, please, OP?

^^^ Oops. Am just now seeing link at R2.

Mea culpa. So sorry.

Wait until you find out who they're donating too before you celebrate.

I never went to Chick Fil A before I knew they were homophobes and I have no interest in trying it now.

In ever eat there.

We don't forget.

Do not believe it.

They have the best chicken sandwichs.

Two different threads on a gay website announcing that it's fine for us to eat (and stop protesting) Chick Fil A.

As I said on the other thread:

WRONG.

Chick Fil A is a family owned business. Every dollar of profit the company makes enriches the owners (CEO Dan Cathy and family).

Remember HE approved the anti-gay donations. All that this accomplishes is that he and his family will donate money directly, rather than through the company. It will also be much harder to track because they will do it through various trusts and foundations over which they have control, but we have no ability to see.

Their long-term recalcitrance regarding these donations demonstrates both a commitment to those organizations and their causes and willingness to go against public opinion.

Does ANYONE really believe they'll suddenly stop supporting them or other anti-gay causes, let alone fundie christian organizations that actively work against the interests of gay people?

Seriously, this is PR to dupe stupid people.

Also, the brand still has nepharious practices when it comes to LGBT employees. Chik Fil Lay is NOT gay-friendly.

Eh, their chicken sandwiches are good but that's about it. Their prices are kind of high. I can get two breakfast sandwiches at Mcdonalds or Jack in the Box for $3. Their fries are tastier too.

Precisely

I'd like to have Beyond Meat's chicken. Also, end the Styrofoam use please.

[quote] And what about that fried chicken sandwich war that’s been dominating social media this month? Would we ever see Chick-fil-A and Popeyes duke it out over a vegetarian option?

[quote] At least one of those companies says it’s not likely any time soon. But Jackie Jags, a spokeswoman for Chick-fil-A, said its culinary team is always exploring new trends and menu offerings. “We are still in the early phases of evaluating if this is the right fit for our menu,” she said.

Waiting in line for food—especially fast food—is pathetic.

Fuck Chick Fil A.

Apparently the Nazis all suddenly hate Chick-fil-A now. Now which one of you bullied such a poor little defense mega-corp?

Of course they backtracked.

[quote] Fuck Chick Fil A.

So, I was right after all.

No surprise they backtraked. Christianity is a religion of HATE.

It’s still disgusting

Nope, they recanted

I finally was able to try Popeye's new chicken sandwich and found it to be far superior to bland old Chic-fil-A. Popeye's also has delicious lemonade.

No, you fat whore! NO! NO! NO!

R28 Pat Roberson

Didn't they do supposedly do this years ago and backtracked?

Never cared for the bland shitty food before, still don’t now.

I guess they're feeling some heat from Popeye's with another failed attempt to change their Christian image.

I always ate there. I like their chicken sandwich extra pickles ( so they have to make it fresh). Spicy. Polynesian chick fila and buffalo sauce. Lemonade ice. And I loooooovw their ice cream ice dream. It’s the best ! Sooooio creamy

Oops I meant lemonade no ice please. My pleasure

I’ll never eat at that shithole. They can go fuck themselves.

[quote]the new donations strategy also meant several dozen other groups — with no anti-LGBT record — would not receive funding in 2020 either, and so the strategy does not appear to have been targeted specifically at the Salvation Army and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. Further, Chick-fil-A has repeatedly declined to specify that the cut to the controversial groups' funding was linked to their LGBT-rights records, and a company spokesperson would not rule out the possibility that the groups could receive funding again in the future.

[quote]“Starting in 2020, the Chick-fil-A Foundation is introducing a more focused giving approach to provide additional clarity and impact with the causes it supports. Staying true to its mission of nourishing the potential in every child, the Chick-fil-A Foundation will deepen its giving to a smaller number of organizations working exclusively in the areas of education, homelessness and hunger.”

Nice of the news to have gotten it so wrong and screwed the pooch on this. No only was their original change NOT a response, but now that they've been called out by the fundie nutbags, those groups will go back to receiving money.

Shows how desperate people were not only to think they mattered and made an impact, but also how the media manufactured PR for them.

Chick Fil A is owned by fundie nutbags. As long as that family has a financial stake in the company, you are supporting anti-gay causes.

I'd rather eat at Los Pollos Hermanos.

Except for the massive weight gain and ill health that comes from eating that crap,

No we can't OP.

TPTB at that place have lied about this before & could be again.

They're untrustworthy liars (fundie Xians).

Just a reminder to get it trending... because I think it pisses them off just that it exists...

they've reneged already

You fools. Go ahead get and on the train. Don’t mind the gas in the showers once you get to the camps.

R30 yup

Welp back to the boycott boys, not like i would have actually gone out of my way to eat there anyway.

you think fundie xtians tell the truth or keep their word?

AAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAA

I hope OP chokes on a greasy chick fil A sandwich.

I haven’t given them a dime in many years. I confess I sometimes have it at work when they cater events where coworkers children are involved like the dreaded “Santa Party”. But I don’t think that counts as I’m not spending my money with them.

I've never set foot in one and never will.

CFA is hiring incoherent shills now, if R33 is any indication.

[quote] Nope, they recanted

Actually, they are making all sides angry now. It was revealed that they gave a small donation to Southern Poverty Law Center, a group that classified Tony Perkins's Family Research Council as a hate group.

Now Tony Perkins sez on Twitter (11-27-19):

[quote] Christians Must Boycott Chick-Fil-A

[quote] "Not only has Chick-fil-A abandoned donations to Christian groups including the Salvation Army, it has donated to one of the most extreme anti-Christian groups in America. Anyone who opposes SPLC is slandered and slapped with their 'extremist' or 'hate group' label. "

[quote] "It's time for Christians to find a fast food alternative to Chick-fil-A."

This mess will be studied in business school and public relations studies some day.

[quote] I finally was able to try Popeye's new chicken sandwich

Congratulations on getting out of the store alive
