Some more on Perry, actually:

Though I can't quite get over this from the second link about the company founder:
"Although Cathy has had some bad ideas, his commitment to the Lord has always kept him grounded. At the beginning of his fast-food career, he opened a second restaurant that went up in flames. He used this accident to reassess his financial status and the Lord’s plan and invent the chicken sandwich."

i love chik-fil-a claims to have "invented the chicken sandwich" in 1972 against a wall of evidence that demonstrates that chicken sandwiches had been in existence much much much earlier than that.
i think that violates one of the commandments, but i can't be bothered to check which one.

Amazon's Bezos donates Amazon's Bezos donates $2.5M in support of same-sex marriage.5M in support of same-sex marriage
Apple, Microsoft, Google, Facebook, and EA all have vocally supported marriage equality too but i'm not aware of them backing their words with this kind of money.
I like the taste of Chick-Fil-A's food and it's lower in fat than most fast food, and I've eaten there many times in the past despite many misgivings but they've really crossed a line this time and I can't consciously eat there anymore.

5M in support of same-sex marriage going once...
― Porto for Pyros (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Monday, 30 July 2012 03:18 (thirteen years ago)
I've been reading up on Chick-Fil-A for the last half hour. I wish I could take back all the money I've ever spent eating there.
The same-sex marriage brouhaha is the tip of the iceberg. (shortly after Jim Henson pulled the Muppets toy giveaways, C-F-A announced they were no longer available due to "safety defects"). Chick-Fil-A funnels sizable amounts of cash to their own Winshape Foundation, which in turn gives about $2,000,000 yearly to the likes of Phyllis Schlafly's Eagle Forum (anti-feminist, anti-female employment, and an anti-vaccine wacko), and the Family Research Council (anti-LBGT rights, anti-abortion, and anti-stem cell research), and perhaps the worst, James Dobson's "Focus on the Family" (pro-child abuse a.k.a. "corporal punishment", anti-gay rights, anti-abortion rights, anti-divorce, anti-pre-marital sex, promotes abstinence-only education and teaching creationism in science classes). Winshape also operates a resort which hosts 8,000 people yearly, and which prohibits gay or lesbian couples.

I think this explains a lot:

When your entire culture has loud tribal banner-waving as a key component, of firmly reaffirming publicly declared stances without any attention paid to actually acting on those stances, you get confused when people get all het up about the shit you actually do.
― Steam Sale Jonesin' (kingfish), Monday, 30 July 2012 18:52 (thirteen years ago)
yup.
i've been really annoyed by this idea that OF COURSE Chick-fil-A is anti-gay "because they're Christian!" like what did you expect, liberals?! just because someone is Christian we're to automatically assume they're going to be bigoted?? one of my best friends is the pastor at a Presbyterian church not two blocks from Independence Hall. if he owned a business, it's highly unlikely he would be open on Sunday. but he also supports marriage equality (because WWJD?), and he would never give money to a hate group like the Family Research Council.
also weird is how personally these folks seem to be taking this. how dare one suggest folks shouldn't support CFA! evangelical groups boycott companies ALL THE TIME and no one says boo (Disney, JC Penney, Target, Hormel, etc etc). (tho i get that the Boston & Chicago mayors throwing in makes this a little dicier)
anyway, shouldn't they be thrilled that now they won't have to eat their crappy chicken sandwich around any of them queer fellers?

You can still avoid this place and loathe where the money goes and shake your head at gay libs who think "banning" CFA and having gays married and in the military will bring the US to nirvana.
