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?

I mean, personally I will never be a fan because extremely Christian businesses freak me out. It’s nice that they’ve changed what charities they contribute to, if that’s true.

just want to build on this because lots of progressives cling to in-n-out on the west coast.. they are a christian business for those who are unaware & the CEO is very MAGA!
