So, it seems Chic-fil-a has gone "woke"
    #28341472 - 05/31/23 06:20 AM (7 months, 24 days ago)

so, as someone who is generally more attracted to the same sex than i am to the opposite sex, i stopped eating at Chic-fil-a around 2010 or so, whenever the big stink hit that they were donating 2 mil a year to focus on the family and other groups that persecuted gay people.

so, this week, it turns out the right is boycotting this restaurant for hiring a director of diversity and inclusion. calling that action "woke"... what a weird twist of events.

now i will be the first to admit that their picklejuice and MSG brine gets me by the balls and i really miss eating their chicken, but i havent... not once...in almost 15 years.

its not that i dont think they have a right to donate to whomever they want its just i dont want my money going to persecute people .

and i think the right wing people have the right to not put their money towards a company who would include people they dont approve of. i think its the right of every person to be whatever kind of bigot they want to be.

i do however think that every bigot should acknowledge that the first amendment outlines a RIGHT to freedom of expression, and that a man going down on another man is the ultimate form of free expression...and that to deny anyone their right to stick their body parts through holes in walls to be serviced by autonomous and willing participants is anti-american at its very core.

the real question is.... should i start eating that delicious chicken now... or just let that company fail since we know the founders are bigots.... its a tough call.

Somehow I think the concept of diversity for this company doesn't include people of other sexual orientations. It's probably no more than window dressing.

i agree. they tried to do some bullshit to look good, and it backfired because the right wing is trying to become the party of open bigotry.

which is a shame because what we need is a party of responsibility if we could get some party to be for autonomy, and individualism, responcible spending and heavily pro middle class i´d join up...unfortunately theres no party in this country that shares my ideals.

i dont know where you are from, and some restaurants i know have way different quality based on location, but on the east coast chic-fil-a food is actually pretty tasty. i blame the MSG. its the seasoning with the hatred of jesus that gives me bad heartburn.

I will eat the fuck out of chic fil a idc if they are Christian bastards or whatever.
Def voting with money is smartest option we got.

To op, just eat the goddamned chicken 🐔

The right is simply too stupid to comprehend that businesses want the most customers possible, and that appealing to the most customers possible is a big component of that.


That’s the simple explanation.


But the cynical (and more accurate) explanation is that the right knows this, and simply wants to eradicate gay people from society altogether. The idea that businesses see the LGBTQ+ community as a viable market demographic worth targeting signifies a cementing of their insertion into society. The right does not want that, and they’ll kill their own in an effort to reverse that.

I started coming out in 1986 and these displays of  overt homophobia are worse than I’ve ever seen it. Even in the 80s it wasn’t like this. Occasionally you’d see a politician or preacher in the media making homophobic comments, but in the past six months it’s just an endless daily onslaught of hate, and the moralizations of the past about being a sinner and going to hell are gone. Now it’s about the children. Grooming. Pedophilia. The kind of shit that gets people worked up to violence. I’m pretty concerned that we are about to see violent attacks on the gay community in the next month. These people seem particularly triggered by anything having to do with gay pride and I would not be surprised to see a mass shooting at a pride event. The 4chanization of Twitter has given these bigots a place to fear monger to a massive number of people and there’s this sense that Elon musk has freed them to be able to say things they haven’t been able to say publicly in a long time, maybe ever. Twitter is fucking scary now.

These bigots are the most highly paid media figures in America now. And the reward structure incentivizes being as divisive as possible. Engagement is money. Exposing them just gets them more attention and more influence. The idea that “sunshine is the best disinfectant” is total bullshit.

For the EXACT same reason, I also do not eat there.

They got Bud Light and Target to reverse course (to varying degrees). They’re emboldened.

Funny bc I do see the narrow minded folks around me immediate switch from bud light lmao, that they've drank for years, and I don't know if many bigots shopped on target to begin with, it's always white women/girls.
But chic fil a is God's chicken and won't be deterred from..
Ppl are hilarious.
I like food I eat food.
There's so many conservative owned establishments where I live if I boycotted them I couldn't even eat out!
Eat and let eat I say!

100%

Republicans don’t even pretend to have a coherent policy agenda anymore. DeSantis’ campaign announcement was just denouncing wokeism over and over. And as the bigots are more and more (re) emboldened, Democrats will increasingly cower for fear of alienating the mythical moderate. Any attempt made to reverse this course is portrayed as some satanic attempt to undermine the nation.

My partner and I are now seriously considering leaving Florida. It’s tough to leave friends and family and careers behind but the way things are going I can’t imagine how toxic this environment will be for my daughter once she starts school.

yeah pride week may see some violence. its always a bit scary imo, but this year feels like the bigots are taking what i hope is their last gasp of breathable air. making a final appeal to hate.

im going to be near DC during pride week i wonder if it will be sponsored by chic fil a :smile:

Ugh, what a terrible decision to have to make, man.

I don't eat the chicken cuz I don't really eat fast food, but I double don't eat it cuz fuck those guys.

I wonder if a DEI director is sort of a  requirement in some states, like I believe california passed a law requiring workplace sexual harassment training, yearly? bi-yearly? and in a large corporation you'd need a department to deal with that sort of thing...

Pride week is one of the highlights of my summer!!! I have SO much fun. And I will not be going this year and I am disappointed.
The bud light thing was hysterical to me.. I just struggle to comprehend it.
BUT it is their right. I definitely support that.

What the fuck are you guys eating that you think Chic Fil A is anything other than shitty fast food? It fucking sucks. And it’s only slightly better than like Wendy’s or Bruger King, and even that’s a stretch. A soggy bun and bland fried chicken is nothing worth sitting in line for.

heh, the line was too long. now you have convinced yourself of sour grapes

I had ckfla a few times. it seemed better than the other options, tastewise. cows being inefficient producers, (prey?) i want to support a chicken theme restaurant, i just can't... seems like they only hire teenagers, and they support things i don't care for.

maybe you're on to something.
chickfila sucks!



that felt pretty good.:laugh:
