Fuck chikfila, and fuck you if you spend your money there. Fucking bigots
Hey now, the chicken don't taste homophobic.
are you regularly tasting homophobes to the point where you feel qualified to make that statement?
According to the Good Place if you eat their sandwich it means you hate gay people.
if you've bought anything there then you are contributing directly to people who fund and support the anti-lgbtq+ movement so yes, you cannot be a customer there and also support these social movements
While I agree with the stance that Chick-fil-a should be boycotted, I think declaring those who dont incapable of supporting lgbtq+ social movements only hurts said movements. Its not a zero sum game, and alienating potential allies is a losing strategy.
Plus, at least as an American, its damn near impossible to survive without spending money on products that caused harm somewhere along the line. Dont be so quick to throw stones, all our hands are soaked with blood, most of us are just too busy to notice.
Ironically enough, they hire shit tons of LGTBQ+ people in my area and the LGBTQ+ crowd fucking stans them.

Although I rarely eat there, maybe once or twice a year, this is all the justification I need.
