Re: Chick-Fil-A vandalized nearby (Re: Posters of Megan Rapinoe in Bryant Part vandalized (WWC UPDATE)

Posted by Henry R32 #3730 on Thu Jul 11 16:07:37 2019, in response to Re: Chick-Fil-A vandalized nearby (Re: Posters of Megan Rapinoe in Bryant Part vandalized (WWC UPDATE), posted by JayZeeBMT on Thu Jul 11 03:26:11 2019.

There are quite a few documented incidents where gay and lesbian couples have been asked to leave Chick-fil-A because they expressed affection by kissing--pecks on the cheek that would have gone unnoticed had a straight couple did them--by ordinary employees.

Got any concrete examples from actual news sources? (Feel free to use heavy left-biased ones like CNN, MSNBC, NY Times). Your article mentions a fired Muslim for "refusing to pray to Jesus" which is certainly egregious but (1) has nothing to do with LGBT and (2) is literally the only example in a thinly veiled hit piece, which is fairly telling.

As for the Vox link, despite their clear stance on the issue they couldn't come up with any concrete examples of the so-called horrible Anti-LGBT behavior other than the following (of their pre-2011 donations):
$1.1 million gift to the Marriage & Family Foundation, a group that promoted so-called traditional marriage and opposed both gay marriage and divorce;
Obviously an ineffective waste of money and no longer relevant in 2019.
$480,000 to the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, an athletic organization that requires applicants to agree to a “sexual purity statement” that condemns LGBTQ people for living “impure lifestyle[s]”
So, the only "victims" are members of this group? Maybe don't join it?
and $1,000 to Exodus International, a group that promotes anti-gay conversion therapy.
$1,000? Of 1.9 million in donations Vox had to scrape all the way down to a donation that amounts to pocket lint for a millionaire before getting to something that is actually feather ruffle worthy, and in any case no one with any intellect believes that nonsense works anyway.

Then further on:
Chick-fil-A continued to bankroll anti-gay groups like the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, the Salvation Army, and the Paul Anderson Youth Home through the Chick-fil-A foundation.
None of these groups are anti-gay as their core mission, and they don't even bother to provide any examples for the two newly mentioned ones. Probably because they're even more flimsy than the Athletes one's prior example.

I'll leave with this: a few things I patronize have leadership and policies of donating to Baby Murderers, inc Planned Parenthood, which from a "I believe they're actual babies" perspective is a metric fuckton more harmful than anything the Vox article spit up, but as a rational human I know (1) PP claims abortion isn't their core mission, and (2) policies on that level are beyond the control of the employees, staff, franchise managers, and supply chains, etc all of which get far more of my spending dollar than the .0001c PP would get from my purchase, of which even less would go towards an abortion. And guess what: I have no clue what any of those people support, but I'm pretty sure the girl with the "I stand with Planned Parenthood" pin at McDonald's stands. She might stand in front of the state capitol chanting and twirling a silly sign once a year. Doesn't stop me from buying the Quarter Pounder though.
