(Elijah Nouvelage \/ Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>By Bryan Chai &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a general rule of thumb, if you\u2019re someone who runs a business, it\u2019s&nbsp;<em>never&nbsp;<\/em>a good idea to alienate your core constituency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From running a sports team, to running a tech company, to running \u2014 oh yes \u2014 a Chick-fil-A, that simple business philosophy can save you a lot of trouble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One Chick-fil-A franchisee in Orem, Utah (if that sounds at all familiar to you, it\u2019s where Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk was assassinated) apparently decided that it <em>is <\/em>a good idea to alienate your core customer base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As first reported on by <a href=\"https:\/\/washingtonstand.com\/article\/chickfila-waffles-on-wokeness-with-samesex-marriage-post-and-dei-focus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Washington Stand<\/a>, one Utah Chick-fil-A apparently didn\u2019t realize that a large portion of the company\u2019s most loyal national customer base is made of evangelical Christians, who\u2019ve always aligned with the restaurant chain\u2019s biblical stances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or, they did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Wednesday, this Chick-fil-A location put up a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/cfaoremplaza\/posts\/pfbid036cFLPzws2Nbe7PFfhfCa7ZyU6mB65MxMDeVMpwAjeVUEvPtztZd28GDqsbNsa8e8l\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Facebook<\/a> post congratulating a newly betrothed couple. On its face, there\u2019s obviously nothing wrong with that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But then you realize that it\u2019s a homosexual couple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(And note the fire Chick-fil-A is under. That\u2019s the only post on their Facebook page that appears to have a restriction on who can comment on it.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the very least, this celebratory post flies directly in the face of Scripture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It doesn\u2019t get much clearer than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Leviticus%2020%3A13&amp;version=NKJV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Leviticus 20:13<\/a>: \u201cIf a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And yet here\u2019s this Utah Chick-fil-A claiming to be \u201cbeyond happy\u201d for what Leviticus clearly describes as an \u201cabomination.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Does that make&nbsp;<em>any&nbsp;<\/em>sense to you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sadly, as much as I\u2019d like to give the restaurant chain as a whole the benefit of the doubt, there\u2019s been mounting evidence that this wasn\u2019t some rogue one-off franchisee, but is more emblematic of a much deeper rot at the fast food chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, as <a href=\"https:\/\/1851franchise.com\/how-chick-fil-a-rose-to-the-top-of-the-us-chicken-market-2727479#stories\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reports<\/a> have shown, Chick-fil-A is notoriously selective with its franchisees. Vetting these franchisees is supposedly one of the pillars of the restaurant\u2019s success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As <a href=\"https:\/\/washingtonstand.com\/article\/chickfila-waffles-on-wokeness-with-samesex-marriage-post-and-dei-focus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Washington Stand<\/a> noted, in 2019, the restaurant crumpled to leftist pressure and stopped donating to the Salvation Army and Fellowship of Christian Athletes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Guess where the money went instead? The proudly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/chick-fil-donated-thousands-anti-christian-southern-poverty-law-center\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">anti-Christian Southern Poverty Law Center<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To make matters worse, Chick-fil-A was also exposed for donating hundreds of thousands of dollars to Covenant House \u2014 a non-profit that tries to help kids in need\u2026 with programs like drag queen story hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Washington Stand added that, even apart from these past incidents, the company is still actively employing a \u201cvice president of DEI.\u201d Again, wouldn\u2019t DEI fly directly in the face of the truth that God created all humans equal and bearing His image? Chick-fil-A feels compelled to favor one group of people over the other, and that\u2019s indisputable with that DEI position still existing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This all being said, yes, this is just one location. Yes, the food there is still good. And yes, Chick-fil-A is probably still preferable to a secular fast food chain. (Faith-based or not, Chick-fil-A is certainly better than Long John Silver\u2019s.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But if the company continues to insist on alienating its customer base with these schemes, they will assuredly lose a chunk of their most fervent base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And that\u2019s a darn shame.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chick-Fil-A started as a true Christian organization, but when it changed to the next generation they&#8217;ve repeatedly caved to the culture.
