You know how your friends are always annoying you by sharing links from years ago as if they are unused stories? That’s what I thought happened the other day when somebody posted a story about LGBTQ groups and their allies boycotting Chick-fil-A. I assumed that it must acquire been coverage from 2012, when folks boycotted Chick-fil-A over some of the company’s charitable contributions and policies and comments that Chick-fil-A’s CEO made about gay marriage.
But no. This Chick-fil-A boycott is new.
You see, the website Assume Progress recently revealed that Chick-fil-A’s charitable foundation donated close to $2 million to three groups with “a record of anti-LGBTQ discrimination.” Among t

Weeks after a Bud Light endorsement from trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney unleashed a torrent of online vitriol that escalated into a widespread anti-LGBTQ boycott, Anheuser-Busch had yet to contact her about it, she said.
"I was waiting for the identity to reach out," Mulvaney said on Instagram in June. "They never did."
Anheuser-Busch did not respond to ABC News' request for comment about its exchange with Mulvaney.
A organization spokesperson pointed to a previous utterance, which said: "As we've said, we remain committed to the programs and partnerships we include forged over decades with organizations across a number of communities, including those in the Gay community."

In the wake of Barilla's top honcho, Guido Barilla's homophobic and sexist remarks, a boycott followed, and we were once again forced to realize that some people just refuse to see everyone as same.
"I would never perform [a commercial] with a homosexual family, not for lack of respect, but because we don't assent with them," the organization chairman told Italian radio Wednesday evening. "Ours is a classic family where the woman plays a fundamental role.
However, Barilla isn't the first company to express homophobic sentiments, and sadly, they probably won't be the last either. The United States Department of Labor may acquire ruled that all businesses in every state must provide benefit coverage for same-sex marriages, but that doesn't mean it's going to put an terminate to homophobia.
Here are 8 companies that prove this to be true.
