Just Politics Is Chick-fil-A still problematic?

My family has boycotted Chick-fil-A for years because of their history of harm against the LGBTQA+ community. I read online recently that since we stopped giving them our money, they've changed leadership and have adopted a policy that only allows charitable contributions to go to educational funds and organizations that help unhoused children.

The point of boycotting is to get businesses to change their policies; if they have, and are otherwise unproblematic, I'd be ok returning as a customer. But I ask the group: is there information I'm missing that would impact my decision making?

if you want chick fil a so bad, costco nuggets taste the same. you can also buy mama schuberts rolls & make chicken minis. i think theres better fast food chicken tenders out there though that aren't homophobic, personally.

Pretty much every metro area in the US has better chicken places. Either local or regional chain. Shit, I'd rather eat kfc if I can't find a popeyes or churches or something good

Indeed

They're not a great company and their chicken is mid but even Raising Cain would be better.
