Left Calls for Boycott of Chick-fil-A over Marriage Stance

. Earlier this week Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey was forced to apologize after eating at Chick-fil-A… during Pride Month! The horror! Twitter and Square CEO Jack Dorsey ignited a backlash online after revealing that he ate at Chick-fil-A this month.

On Saturday, Dorsey posted a photo on Twitter with the caption "Boost @ChickfilA," showing he had saved 10% on a $31.58 order at the fast-food chain. A "boost" is a cashback reward Square users can earn when using a Cash Card, which is a debit card from the payment platform.

Critics immediately seized on Dorsey's support of Chick-fil-A — whose CEO has come under fire for his views on same-sex marriage in the past — during Pride Month.

"You must love the taste of bigotry!" one person wrote in response.

"Why is Twitter boosting a notoriously anti-gay company during #PrideMonth?" another person wrote.

Among the critics was the former CNN anchor Soledad O'Brien, who said, "This is an interesting company to boost during Pride month, @jack."

Dorsey responded: "You're right. Completely forgot about their background."

Dorsey responded: "You're right. Completely forgot about their background."

While this could be seen as a simple mistake on his part, he needs to be held to his own standards. He must be purged and then professionally destroyed.

The leftards have been given their marching orders from a NY Times pedophilic faggot, and they must obey.

I had just moved to a part of the country that had Chick-Fil-A and made sure to go there for dinner that night. I had to park in a mall parking lot and walk over to the restaurant.

Might have been my first time there. My family hadn’t moved yet.

Fast forward a few years. CFA store now less than 1/2 mile from home. My kid just quit after working there 2-3 years and loving it. Might have to go this week.

As it is I rarely go there because it’s SO busy I can’t get back from lunch in time.

Chic-Fil-A recently opened a new restaurant in National City, right next to San Diego. If you are in the San Diego area take the I-5 south to Mile of Cars Way and you will find it close to the freeway. I wish them the best.

This is funny, the Stalinists again wanting to boycott an American establishment. Why don’t these Stalinists move to Venezuela where they can boycott the USA every day?

There’s no chick fil a near here, or I’d be there once a week.

You kidding me? Even at the height of the marriage stance years ago, CFA was and STILL is packed, holding up traffic here in Hollywood.

I know a LOT of libs who eat there for dinner and lunch. This is one boycott which will not make a dent in sales I guarantee it.

I have a shirt that reads “Take back the Rainbow.”

God gave it to us and it’s our promise.

Maybe I’ll wear that next time I eat at CFA

Again⚖: ANYTHING "they" say or do MUST be accepted and tolerated. NOTHING conservatives say or do will be accepted or tolerated. That's how they see it. It really is that simple. Except they're wrong

I thought they were already boycotting Chick-fil-A over something or other. Is this double secret boycott?

The last time they did this was how I discovered Chic-fil-a and it looks like I need to give them a try again.

But the lines were pretty long last time. :)

I’ve been going to Chick-fil-A since the early 80’s when they were exclusively stands in Mall food ares, and have never been disappointed. Funny that they held the EXACT same position then as they do now. Who moved?

They’ve already forgotten what happened the last time.

Don't forget, for liberals, history began this morning.

maybe it’s not the left calling for the boycott—it might just be chick-fil-A themselves calling for it—knowing that it’ll boost their sales!
