Important note: This doesn’t suddenly mean that Chick-Fil-A and the people who own it are suddenly good guys now.
Is it possible for Chic-fil-a to ever redeem itself in your eyes?
If they fired everyone involved with every controversy and started donating every cent of profit to LGBT charity groups, would you say they were a good company, or is it once tainted always tainted.
Chic-fil-a has made a lot of changes in the past decade and a half, and I’m of the opinion that, if no amount of self reflection and change can ever make us reconsider our condemnation, then there’s no reason for anything to try and change, as it won’t stop the hate.
Not that Chic-fil-a is perfect, but I would argue they are now as good or better than any other fast food chain we’re not actively hating on. They actually pay their employees more than minimum wage and give them one guaranteed weekend day off if nothing else.
So why continue to put them down now that it’s “mission accomplished?” If the goal was for them to change, and they have, it seems that we should bring them back into the fold, no?

I honestly haven’t been following them.
Did they ever admit fault? That’s big for me. An explicit “we were wrong”

A very important point that we should all remember. It’s critical to continue a no-tolerance policy of intolerance, but to accept those who want to change.
I’m not running to Chick-fil-A anytime soon but the point remains.
For me it would either take a reversal of all the bullshit deregulation of campaign finance laws, or for all the bigots in the Cathy family to be ousted entirely.
the bar for capitalists pigs is incredibly low…but to give credit where it’s do, they atleast pay a halfway decent wage, take basic measures to keep employees safe/healthy (shade/hested spaces in winter, for drive through people), are relatively good in insuring QC in their supply chain, and actually have a pretty generous franchise setup.
admittedly these are things that the overwhelming majority of the West just…insures via basic government regulation, but they sure could be a hell of a lot worse.
alls i’m saying is when/if the Revolution happens, their CEO isnt even in the top 50-100 people that need to get got.

I have been boycotting chick-fil-a for decades.
Are you doing it because their food is terrible?
No, they have been a big supporter of the shittiest parts of conservatism so they don’t get my money.
All of this started early last month when MAGA went apeshit because a Utah Chick-fil-A location posted a celebration of a gay couple’s wedding.
Chick-fil-A’s corporate office responded to the backlash with a formal statement emphasizing the company’s commitment to DEI.
Perkins suggests to Newsmax that Chick-fil-A has gone “woke” now that its founder is dead. But S. Truett Cathy died in 2014 at age 93.
How the fuck is respecting people’s backgrounds during hiring and employment in contrast to the Christian faith?
Weird, I’ve been boycotting Chick-Fil-A for something like 15 years. I legitimately don’t recall how long I’ve been boycotting them. Fuck Chick-Fil-A.
How the turns table.
Is Uline next?
Hell the guy that owns Menards is another disgusting human being who has been associated with Trump for years. Feel like not many people are aware of that.
Okay, people born before 1980 aren’t allowed to say “Woke” anymore.
I think it’s stupid for anyone to use it at this point. The word has lost all meaning.
Company changed it’s signage? It’s woke. Didn’t like a movie? It’s woke. If you disagree with my comment? Believe it or not… woke.
Somebody really needs to do a deep dive into this guy’s background. There has to be a skeleton, scandal or grift buried there somewhere.
hmm I say we double boycott it
