It better not function on Sundays.
Not American, but is this the homophobic food chain?
Yes
The CEO is oftentimes a company policymaker; I think it would be foolish to ignore that fact.
I’ve been boycotting C-f-a for at least 15 years now; and I don’t tell my friends or suggest that my family eat there either; except as an emergency uber last resort. The gas station (burritos/sushi/hot-dog-warmer) would be suggested first.
My current partner(s) know and respect my feelings for the company and they feel roughly the same anyways; and so we never eat there.

No, the ceo is homophobic, but the chain itself has no restrictions on hiring gay people, serving gay people, etc. some people don’t seem to get the difference.
So they do the minimum required by law?
As do every company? Is this news?
Sadly I think they’re legally allowed to not serve gay people in certain states. The minimum is just hiring gay people :(
Im pretty sure they serve gay people in those states too.
Yeah they do, I’m just pointing out that the law doesn’t say a business has to. Sorry, being pedantic
The owners directly support anti-lgbtq organizations.
And plenty of owners of other companies support even worse orgs, I don’t get your point. What the owners do in their free time honestly doesn’t mean jack shit. NASA uses SpaceX whose owner is currently one of the most bigoted people on the planet. Do you still support NASA?
I directly control my spending, not NASA’s.
Then you shouldn’t support pretty much any fast food chain. All their CEOs or downstream CEOs act pretty much the same. Treating Chick-fil-A like it’s somehow different here is just hypocritical.
It’s going to be an evangelical propaganda machine.
That’s the thing. It’s going to be a purely evangelical version of the Hallmark Channel.
Remember when they kept getting attacked for being “woke”.
Some reason? I’m going to go for money, the reason is money. Humans have an incredible tolerance for advertisement right now and the majority of people (sorry, lemmites, I know you feel different, but if you think your views are widespread think again) are becoming accustomed to subscribing to a variety of streaming services. If you have capital and know anything about advertising, this is a cash grab for you. A lot of content can be produced quite cheaply now.
I am vehemently against ads in all places for all things. It’s astounding to me when my family or friends are shocked that I’m so against them. People just accept ads everywhere and it’s terrible.
This is so true. My own daughters, who I raised from birth, and who I tried to inculcate with good sense…yes, even they…they tolerate ads. I know, I know. It is hard to believe. But I have personally witnessed them watching Youtube ads with apparent interest. That was a hard day.
I really thought the early Netflix era would have emboldened this attitude in everyone, but yes it’s incredible how tolerant so many people are about more and more ads in everything as long as it means something is cheap or free. I don’t have a ton of money to throw around either, but the cost of eliminating ads and just paying for what I am getting is almost always worth it.
I have often mused on how to remotely demolish billboards along highways. Almost all ads are garbage.
The only ones I’m even remotely OK with are the old-timey painted ones on the sides of brick buildings.

Rocket launcher? If you’re in the US you might even be able to obtain one legally. If you can’t, maybe a truck-mounted trebuchet would work.
I’ve seen flamethrower drones
Maybe buy the space and have them put up a photo of what’s behind it?
Smells like a completely fictional story fed to the media for free coverage. Similar to that KFC console a few years ago which never actually existed but allowed KFC to get its name plastered across all types of news feeds for months.
If they don’t call it Chick-fa-licks I’ll be disappointed. I mean as a whole I find the company upsetting already, but I will add disappointment to that.
So, not the fast food chain, but their parent company diversifying.
If the entire streaming service is literally just a video of a chicken sandwich I might have to betray the gays on meme principle.
And Chicken Run 1. They can’t afford #2.
Chikfila abuses animals
And trans people too.
I mean, yeah, they pay others to kill them, then fry them.
So, what, they’re going to make shows about how to fuck up waffle fries? Or how about the part where all their chicken’s bland as shit. “Spicy” my ass. Oh, how about the part where they’re owned by a bunch of Christian nut jobs? How are they going to make that into a channel? Play reruns of Rich Church Wants Your Donations?

Popeyes is the superior chicken fast food. I’ll fight anyone on this hill.
I’ve had practice eating at Popeyes.
