They stopped donating to anti-LGBT organizations 11 years ago (except for FCA and the Salvation Army, organizations that are considered anti-LGBT due to stances, not actions. They stopped donating to those in 2020 anyways.)
The owner, Dan Cathy, is still actively involved with groups such as the National Christian Foundation, an organization spearheading the derailment of the Equality Act.[11]
Yeah, I don’t really know a better word for it. I was referring to how you turned my “they haven’t done it for years” into defense of them doing it, and then also insulted their product so colorfully. Maybe “extreme” would have been a better word? Less specific, but I think that’s okay.
Well my comment was certainly biased! It seems like people who grew up eating their food like it a lot more than people who didn’t, so I wanted to be sure to make that jab that I don’t think their food is that good.
As for how long it’s been since they took that stance… I dunno, I do think it’s different for average folk in the 90s to make cultural commentary that perpetuates homophobia. What CFA did was bigger, on a systemic level with the aim of affecting policy, and it was at least 20 years later when there already had been a major cultural shift against homophobia. I’d give an individual a pass on improving their bigotry much more easily than I would a corporation.
Gotta love how whenever someone posts something about Chick Fil A, there are several comments calling them bigots.

The owner is still the owner and still a bigot.
Til that guy steps down, fuck Chick-fil-A
it’s okay to like their greasy sloppy bullshit chicken in peace. you don’t have to defend their bigotry online.
plus.
“they only USED TO donate to hate groups” really isn’t the defense you think it is
I’m not defending bigotry. I’m saying they stopped doing what people accuse them of years ago.
Also, I might have the wrong word here, but why are you arguing hyperbolically?
hm I’m not sure. hyperbolic means using exaggeration for rhetorical or dramatic effect. i dont think I was doing that.
