On the one hand, why support a restaurant that has a history of donating to anti-LGBTQ organizations when there are other food options that don't have that association? On the other hand, if we actively campaign against and punish an organization for past behaviour, even when they have ceased that behaviour, it removes the principle incentive for change.
The problem with them isn't that the "used to" donate to anti-LGBTQ+ groups, but that they got caught, promised not to do so, then started up again after the attention died down. This is the second time they've made this promise.
