The One Crucial Lesson Conservatives Can Learn From Chick-Fil-A
by Matt Walsh, Daily Wire:
The Huffington Post threw down the gauntlet. In a piece that’s gotten some attention today, Noah Michelson declared that you can’t continue eating at Chick-Fil-A “if you really love LGBTQ people.” What follows from that headline is a lengthy and emotional screed demanding that the reader suppress his desires for delicious chicken sandwiches in the name of a higher cause. “If you care about queer people… you have absolutely no business eating at Chick-Fil-A,” Michelson announced with authority.
On Twitter, the Huffington Post shared the article and added a similar rallying cry: “It’s time to choose where your loyalties lie ― with the queer community or with your stomach.” It is a bold move to stack yourself up against a chicken sandwich and ask that people choose between you. I’m not sure anyone currently alive in the world can win that contest.
But this is the stance the gay Left has taken. It refuses to coexist alongside the chicken chain, and it will attempt to punish not only the company itself but anyone who associates with it. Only a few days ago, the CEO of Twitter was forced to issue a public apology after eating at one of Chick-Fil-A’s “creepy” (to use the New Yorker’s description) restaurants. And still there are leftist college students who protest anytime a Chick-Fil-A opens on their campus.
They have not forgotten about Chick-Fil-A CEO Dan Cathy’s sin of publicly supporting Biblical marriage six years ago. They will never forget. They have chosen the hill that they will die on. It is a hill covered in chicken sandwiches. Also there are waffle fries on the hill. And chicken nuggets. And milk shakes. I’m hungry now. What were we talking about?
