In his first-ever broadcast interview with Today, CEO Andrew Cathy dodged questions on Chick-fil-A's longstanding homophobic views. "I think that everybody that would be willing to walk in the door, they’ll see that they're welcome to come eat with us," he said about the company's position on equal rights.

With you 100%. Basically everything makes me angry for one reason or another recently. You have to draw a line somewhere of how much grey you are willing to accept. If CFA is too much for you, you pretty much can’t eat fast food.

I just wish more people would boycott something. Talked to my dad recently about how much we both hate all the invasions of privacy by various companies, ten feet from his Alexa.

If I boycotted every company that supported Trump in my state we would starrve. All grocery stores and food places are 100% Trump.

These days it seems like it's "boycott whoever hides their evil the least."

Well-said. Took me far more words to express that. lol.

I didn't want to put it so strongly, but yes, exactly that. But even beyond that, it's most corporations. So many of them donate to "both sides", especially politically, just because they care more about money than anything else, but the proponderance still seems to go more red than blue; more agaisnt human rights than for human rights.
