All Sections. About Us. B2B Publishing. Got it? Please this affects real people and real families Chick-fil-A is evil plain and simple. If you eat at Chick-fil-A, you have to send twice what you spent to a trans person. Better options even. It is. You might remember that Daily Kos recently covered the Virginia elementary school teacher who was put on paid leave after speaking out against a trans-inclusive pronoun policy. Who is filing the lawsuit against the district? As Daily Kos continues to cover, states are seeing an absolute flurry of anti-trans bills centered around school sports in spite of this subject being a nonissue in daily life.
So why the push? Oakley is, of course, correct. We already know that trans youth face distressing barriers and obstacles as it is—the last thing a marginalized group that reports higher rates of bullying, harassment, abuse, and even homelessness needs is to be legislated out of school sports.
As reported by Mother Jones back in , the ADF sent a letter to schools that opposed allowing trans students to use the bathroom that connected with their gender identity. Language in that bill rang in far too close for comfort to anti-trans bathroom proposals that later showed up in North Carolina, Nevada, and elsewhere. The origins of the boycott go much deeper than that, and they're important to differentiate from Dan Cathy's personal remarks.
A perentage of proceeds from each and every sale at every single Chick-Fil-A location automatically goes to The Winshape Foundation , portions of which are then funneled to anti-gay groups. If you'd like to read more about some of these anti-gay groups and in what ways they work against the gay community, check out our January Blog Post calling for the Chick-Fil-A Boycott. We realize that Chick-Fil-A locations all over the country are independently owned, and those owners might not personally agree with Dan Cathy's anti-gay stance - and we respect that.
Some locations may very well employ openly gay, lesbian, and bisexual individuals, and they may also very well treat every single customer who comes into their establishment with the utmost respect.
