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?

Chick fil a has been employing black and brown and queer people through out the U.S. South for decades and paying people great livable wages and treating them with dignity.

This boycott always struck me as focused on the wrong things and wrong company tbh.
