No, it's the Chick-fil-A leadership who's trying to wipe a whole category of people off the face of the Earth. That's worth standing up to.

There's currently neither a kill-the-gays law in Uganda nor has Chick-fil-A ever supported any organization who has funded any effort in Uganda to legislate the death penalty upon those who've committed peculiar acts of homosexuality.
Yeah. The damn left and their over-reactions. We'd never see someone on the right take something and extrapolate it out of proportion or anything...right?

The freedom for two humans to love each other is very much a human--and natural--right. The UDHR supports gay marriage:
"Most of the 30 Articles in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) begin with gender-free language: "Everyone," "All" or "No One. But Article 16 states that "men and women" have the right to marry, with the women drafters of the UDHR succeeding in their determination that it should spell out clearly that women had equal rights in marriage, given there was still very widespread discrimination in matters relating to marriage at the time.
Some subsequently interpreted the wording as limiting marriage rights to heterosexual couples, although nowadays it is increasingly interpreted as simply referring to both sexes having an equal right to marry, rather than stipulating they must marry someone of the opposite sex. Various UN human rights mechanisms have urged all States to legally recognize same-sex unions – whether by making marriage available to same sex couples or through other arrangements, such as civil partnerships – and have also called for the same benefits and protections for all. And an increasing number of states are bringing in legislation along these lines."
OHCHR | Universal Declaration of Human Rights at 70: 30 Articles on 30 Articles - Article 16
We can haggle over the relativistic nature of rights, but beyond social conventions is the fact that human relationship is one if the most fundamental needs that help us along this journey of life. It is one of the needs of Maslow's hierarchy.
Denying someone the right to be with one they love based on a misunderstanding or bigoted belief of what is a "natural right" is simply cruel.
Well, you might eventually get them to change behaviours, but it won't do anything about changing mindsets.So it's "intolerant" to not give your money to businesses that fund efforts to limit or restrict the rights of others?

What's True
"A Ugandan government minister announced an intention to make homosexuality punishable by death in October 2019; the National Christian Foundation has funded projects that opposed LGBT rights in Uganda; and the WinShape Foundation, closely linked to Chick-fil-A, has funded the National Christian Foundation."
What's False
"However, the Ugandan minister did not signal an intent to legalize the murder of LGBT people, and his remarks were quickly contradicted by the government; also, it's not clear to what extent National Christian Foundation-funded entities were involved in the creation or promotion of a bill to make homosexuality punishable by death."

Don't you worry. As soon as the media tells them to protest those places they will. After all if they could think for themselves they would be protesting at the Chinese embassy and boycotting the nba not some place that sells chicken sandwiches
In the US it is, whether opposite sex or same sex. So sayeth the Supreme Court of the United States. Thank you.
It's not cheap. For $10, you just get a little sandwich, waffle fries and medium drink. You can get more food at Taco Bell for $5, and it's better. It's very overrated.
Why?

Never actually been to one. Not even sure if they exist here in Maine.
Because these are companies that do atrocious things. Duh!
My mistake. I hoped you had a real reason.

If Chick-Fil-A were owned by radical Muslims, I'd buy lots of their pork sandwiches.
That’s right. These companies don’t fit the Leftist Army agenda. Nothing to see here, folks. Right?

Way, back before the True Nature of their hateful owners came to light? I'd occasionally buy one of their combo meals.
I liked their waffle fries. Their chicken sandwiches, not so much-- and I'd vow to never eat there again. Alas, my memory would fade, and I'd get succored in again. Overpriced, too dry, tasteless pseudo-chicken on ordinary bun, with ordinary condiments.
Eventually, I learned to quit buying their disappointing food. Much later on? The truth came out about how hate filled and not-at-all like Jesus their owners were...
Jesus commanded his followers to love one another, not sit in judgmental hate. In fact? Jesus never once condemned gay relationships. Not even one time. He did condemn capitalists. More than once...
I expect Jesus would have quite a few harsh words to say to the owners of Chick-a-hate.... none of them pleasant. I quite imagine words like 'stiff necked' and 'hypocrites' and similar.
I actually try to avoid shopping at Walmart because of what their business practices do to communities. Did you have some other beef with them?
We don't have Wells Fargo here, so that one's moot for me.
What's your issue with Shell? Is your problem with the oil and gas industry in general, or are you trying to say that Shell is worse than the other players in their industry?
