The company decides to stop funding anti-gay agendas and makes this blogger happy.
People claimed that they were sooo sick of the “whole Chik-Fil-A thing,” but I maintained over and over again how important it was that we stick to boycotts like this to get change to happen. The company has announced that not only are they NOT going to be funding anti-gay marriage (and other similar campaigns) anymore, but they are also mandating that all customers and employees be treated equally.
This isn’t an “I told you so!” post, however, but simply another reminder that yes, when we use our buying power combined with our voices, things happen—and we need to remember that at all costs. In this case, we also have the city of Chicago to thank, as a city alderman had worked hard to block the fast food company from setting up shop in Chi-town.
Thank you so much to all of the people who supported this campaign, and especially to those who demonstrated that being Christian doesn’t mean discriminating; it means loving everyone the way Jesus did, which many Christians seem to have forgotten along the way.
