A Utah Chick-fil-A franchise recently posted photos celebrating a same-sex marriage, sparking backlash from customers.
The Washington Stand reports the restaurant posted images of two men with the caption “CONGRATULATIONS TO THE HAPPY COUPLE!” The post has since been removed.
This incident highlights ongoing problems with Chick-fil-A’s corporate direction and leadership.
While companies like Walmart, Target, Toyota, John Deere, Tractor Supply, Harley Davidson, and Lowe’s, as well as major financial institutions have rolled back pro-LGBT and DEI policies in response to consumer backlash, Chick-fil-A continues moving in the opposite direction.
The restaurant chain still employs a vice president of diversity, equity, and inclusion. It quietly renamed its DEI program “Better at Together,” but it continues to promote the same DEI principles.
It’s obvious that consumers are tired of pro-LGBT pandering by Corporate America. In 2023, Bud Light managed to single-handedly overthrow itself as the number-one beer in America after sending transgender social media influencer Dylan Mulvaney a novelty can of Bud Light with Mulvaney’s picture on it. Target has quietly replaced its LGBT Pride merchandise, and entertainment giants like Pixar and Disney have removed pro-LGBT elements from their storylines.
Pro-LGBT and DEI initiatives promote flawed ideologies that do not ensure individuals are valued, heard, or included. Employees who hold Biblical views of marriage or gender risk losing their jobs in workplaces that have adopted DEI policies. None of that is good for our economy or our country.
Chick-fil-A would do well to learn from other corporations’ mistakes and abandon its pro-LGBT pandering.
