No, the ceo is homophobic, but the chain itself has no restrictions on hiring gay people, serving gay people, etc. some people don’t seem to get the difference.
So they do the minimum required by law?
As do every company? Is this news?
Sadly I think they're legally allowed to not serve gay people in certain states. The minimum is just hiring gay people :(
Im pretty sure they serve gay people in those states too.
Yeah they do, I'm just pointing out that the law doesn't say a business has to. Sorry, being pedantic
The owners directly support anti-lgbtq organizations.
And plenty of owners of other companies support even worse orgs, I don’t get your point. What the owners do in their free time honestly doesn’t mean jack shit. NASA uses SpaceX whose owner is currently one of the most bigoted people on the planet. Do you still support NASA?
I directly control my spending, not NASA's.
Then you shouldn’t support pretty much any fast food chain. All their CEOs or downstream CEOs act pretty much the same. Treating Chick-fil-A like it’s somehow different here is just hypocritical.
