When it became clear to me that Chick-Fil-A really doesn’t support equal rights for all of its customers, I decided to skip the drive through on the few occasions when I happened to be near one. Granted, I wasn’t propping up their profits by any stretch (I was a fan of their diet lemonade more than anything else that they serve), but I decided that even that little bit of infrequent business was too much.
Now the Cathy family has removed all doubt that it wholeheartedly and financially supports work to deny LGBT Americans (many of whom are their customers) the same rights that heterosexual enjoy.
I don’t think I’ll ever be hungry enough to stop at a Chick-Fil-A until they decide that all people should have the same rights. Period.
And it will probably take putting some of their profits right where they have advocated for disenfranchisement and inequality to send me to the drive through again.
