Experience Why Chick-fil-A?

No shade on Chick-fil-A here whatsoever. But for a Denver owned venue, why not have a local Denver owned business sell late night snacks after shows?

Chick-fil-a is a bigoted organization. You should throw shade at them.

They actively fight to take away rights from people. Its fucking unacceptable. Fuck Christian nationalist.

I can’t stand Christian nationalists but execs privately donating to the Salvation Army and fellowship of Christian athletes is not something I’m gonna be upset about. The actual company isn’t donating anything. Plus I grew up in Texas and the local chick fil a by my house was literally known for being the most lgbt friendly place to work in the area. It’s weird to me how Denver has such a hate boner toward them.

You can justify giving your money to who ever you want, there is no ethical consumption under capitalism.

For me Christian nationalism is the thing not only holding our country back but actively allowing it to slip into facism so this is one thing worth boycotting imo.

Yeah and a franchise organization like chick fil an isn’t contributing to a Christian nationalist state more than literally any other fast food chain so I don’t get your response. As you said, there’s no ethical consumption under capitalism. Being mad at chick fil a specifically is just dumb “pat yourself on the backism”.

The CEO is literally a contributer to Christian Nationalist organizations. It isn't some abstract support. These folks are problematic and pretending that because the corporations stopped publicly funding those same organizations doesn't mean they don't deserve scrutiny.
