The problem people had with Chick-fil-A was that their owners were pretty anti-LGBTQ and were pretty public about it. Their then-CEO Dan Cathy said in 2012 that allowing same-sex marriage was, quote, inviting God's judgment on our nation. These comments naturally got some folks unhappy, and in response, a bunch of anti-LGBTQ forces on the right wing turned Chick-fil-A into a pillar of their identity. That was the chicken company that fought for their interests. Mike Huckabee tried to get a Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day going, and it sort of became a way of engaging in homophobic trolling. People wanted to publicly express a disdain for LGBTQ people, but instead of doing it directly, they'd just make a big deal out of supporting Chick-fil-A. Yeah, it was almost like they were stoked because they were like, oh, thank God, I don't need to say awful things. I can eat a chicken sandwich and express how much I'm filled with hate. In the process of this whole conversation, it came out that the Cathy's had given millions to anti-gay organizations, including ones that promoted conversion therapy. This was what people had a problem with as it related to Chick-fil-A and that's what Alex is upset that they're not doing anymore because they announced in 2020 that they'll no longer give money to groups that have explicitly anti-gay positions.
