Chick-fil-A is ruffling feathers again.
The Georgia-based chicken-sandwich chain has long been criticized over its contributions to groups with anti-LGBTQ stances. In March, the San Antonio city council voted to ban the chain from its international airport, citing its history of LGBTQ issues, and the Buffalo, N.Y., airport followed suit a month later.
But rather than praising Chick-fil-A for being more inclusive and more supportive of gay rights, many people on Twitter TWTR, +0.82% — including some identifying as Christian and conservative — are slamming the chain for chickening out in the face of a “left-wing mob.”And now #ChickFilA be prepared. When you bend a knee to the outrage mob they only ask for more and more and more. You sold your soul.
