Slate: The Uncanceling of Chick-fil-A

The Uncanceling of Chick-fil-A

Why did so many people forget to boycott the infamous chicken chain?

By RUTH GRAHAM MARCH 07, 2019 https://slate.com/human-interest/2019/03/chick-fil-a-boycott-liberals-forgot-chicken-too-good.html

It’s hard to stay mad at a ubiquitous and popular brand, especially when it does the bare minimum to stop pissing you off.

[…]

But over the years, the furor has faded, and many progressives have slunk back through the restaurant’s doors. “For several years, the only time you’d catch an LGBTQ person or an ally at Chick-fil-A was for a protest,” the editorial director of HuffPost Personal, Noah Michelson, wrote last year in an essay lamenting the slump in resolve. “For some strange reason I still don’t fully understand, some queer people and their friends and families began eating at Chick-fil-A again and are still eating there.” A Daily Beast columnist called for queer people to “forgive Chick-fil-A” in 2015, citing the Supreme Court decision that year that legalized same-sex marriage nationwide. It’s legal, she argued, so who cares what Dan Cathy thinks? When Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey tweeted last June—Pride Month—about ordering from the restaurant, he later confessed that he “completely forgot about their background.”

How did Chick-fil-A gradually become uncanceled? For one, the chain has gotten harder for urban progressives to avoid. Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel said in 2012 that the company’s values “are not Chicago values,” but there are now multiple Chick-fil-A outlets in Chicago, and they seem to be thriving. The first New York City Chick-fil-A opened in 2015, and the chain opened “the world’s largest Chick-fil-A” in downtown Manhattan a few years later. It is now planning its first outlets in Boston and Brooklyn. Anecdotally, many progressives still feel vaguely guilty about eating at Chick-fil-A—but they eat there anyway, citing factors like convenience, picky kids, and the universally acknowledged excellence of its food compared with fast-food competitors.

Chick-fil-A will be celebrating Back to School day on August 18, 2012.

http://www.scribd.com/doc/102909357/Chick-fil-A-will-be-celebrating-Back-to-School-day-on-August-18-2012

Tuesday, August 14, 2012, Westminster MD - We stopped over at the Chick-fil-A in the Westminster Shopping Center at the corner of Englar Road and Rte 140 in Westminster, MD for dinner Tuesday evening.

Along with our food came a little flyer saying that the local Chick-fil-A will be celebrating Back to School day on August 18, 2012.

I also attached a flyer that we got last December. The Chick-fil-A Trays flyer was discussed at great length at several public safety non-profits, of which I belong.

I know that many of us go out of our way to patronize the local Chick-fil-A, because the restaurant is so supportive of our local community…

Chick-fil-A has excellent food; runs a great restaurant, has excellent customer service, and is very supportive of local firefighters and law enforcement, non-profits and the community.

By all measures, Chick-fil-A is reported to be a good employer, and is a valuable contributor to the local community.

Chick-fil-A, chicken, food, restaurants, Westminster, Maryland, firefighters, law enforcement, public safety, catering,







Hopefully you and your family will join former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee today and be sure to patronize your local Chick fil-A restaurant in honor of ‘Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day.’ http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=5261

Governor Huckabee organized the event in the wake of the un-American, intolerant, hate campaign being waged against the Atlanta-based restaurant chain after its president, Dan Cathy, told the author of the “Biblical Recorder,” a journal of the Baptist Press, his personal views on gay marriage.

In an article, “‘Guilty as charged,’ Mr. Cathy says of Chick-fil-A's stand on biblical & family values,” writer K. Allan Blume, explains, “Dan Cathy oversees one of the country's most successful businesses.

“As president and chief operating officer of Chick-fil-A, Cathy leads a business with 1,608 restaurants that had sales of more than $4 billion dollars last year…

“His father, S. Truett Cathy started the business in 1946… In 1967, his father opened the first Chick-fil-A restaurant in Atlanta…

In an excellent article on the matter by Jamie Smith Hopkins, “Chick-fil-A president's words on gay marriage spark tempest,” penned for The Baltimore Sun, Ms. Hopkins reports that Mr. Cathy said that Chick-fil-A is “very much supportive of the family — the biblical definition of the family unit.”… http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=5261

Faith helps make Chick-Fil-A a successful business

Faith helps make Chick-Fil-A a successful business.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4qfRGTeyu0

The Chick-Fil-A in Westminster is quite supportive of the community. We go out of our way to eat there to support both the restaurant's values and the fact that they support the community from which they are benefiting.
