If you learn how to Google things you'll find other companies that have done the same thing, involving donations to people, organizations, etc.

This was the first my first hit, with thousands of others:

Remember, thousands of companies that we deal with every days are just as guilty as Chick-Fil-A. The difference with Chick-Fil-A is that it's easier to target (like we did in Kitchener) a small business (because it's a franchise) that hires many new Canadians and less than stellar wages (because they are willing to work for less). I personally find this racist. Why, because the same folks won't picket corporations that have deep pockets and are oozing white privilege. That's an opinion, though, just so we're clear.

Sorry that I triggered you though, that was unintentional. It was done more to educate people, but you didn't see it that way. Though my guess is because you worked at Google and felt uncomfortable with what I was saying. That's an opinion, though, just so we're clear.

And, Dan, I didn't call anyone a hypocrite -- I said IF they (people) decide to continue to support so-called anti-LGBTQ+ businesses and organizations, THEN it makes you a hypocrite when you cherry pick other businesses out. This isn't an opinion, just so we're clear.

That said, if the real reason for calling out Chick-Fil-A is due to their religious beliefs, then say it. Because this is what it could be about. Which is fine -- but religions don't have to go out of their way to support certain groups if they feel it's against their core religious beliefs (despite many churches hypocrisy when it comes to things of this nature). Just say you don't like their religious beliefs and how their religion deals with the LGBTQ+ community. Not that I think (to be clear, in my opinion) it absolves anyone if they're dealing with other companies, but at least it makes it a little more clear.

Transparency, people.

"Just the same"...you find this "racist"...oh boy that's rich, and ridiculous to a level I don't think is worth touching.

And you did call people, including myself hypocrites. You pretend to qualify it but you qualify it with using some of the most common companies around (and I already explained why your reasoning is false).

Yes, I worked at Google, but I have no emotional attachment to any company I work for, so at least that one made me laugh.

I have no religious objection to them, I have many friends who attend Christian churches, none of them see my other friends in the LGBTQ community as less deserving of rights as the owners of Chik-a-fil do--THAT is what I object to.

I'm not triggered, I am calmly and coherently replying to your points, because I believe it is an important issue to discuss. If anyone is triggered, it's the person randomly playing the race and religion cards.

Look, with this rambling and accusatory response here it's clear you're very defensive about this. I have no idea why.

You are saying that I am calling you a hypocrite. You clearly didn't read the entire paragraph to understand the context. And I am not the one that is 'defensive'.

Whatever the case with Chick-Fil-A:

Same can't be said about the other companies.

BTW: At least I provide links. If you know that the franchisee of the Kitchener Chick-Fil-A is anti LGBTQ+, please post your evidence.
