minus-squarethecodeboss@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·1 year agoI don’t see anywhere they’ve done either of those things. The closest they’ve come is saying on Facebook that they’ll stay out of the “policy debate”: https://www.facebook.com/ChickfilA/posts/10151226208515101 Being decent to every human shouldn’t be considered politics.

minus-squareLPodyssey07@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up7arrow-down2·1 year agoNo, and I don’t need you to change your mind. I was just updating your information.
minus-squareWoodlandAlliance@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up3arrow-down7·1 year agoYou’ve updated nothing. I have no reason to believe they’ve changed.
minus-squareASeriesOfPoorChoices@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down1·1 year ago“they’ve changed” - you say it like a corporation has a moral compass, or feelings. It’s just a piece of paper. If they’re moving money in a different direction today compared to how they did yesterday, that’s a change. Your belief in if that is or isn’t a change is irrelevant - it is a change. Did the religious assholes running it have a change of heart towards LGBT+ people? Probably not. But no-one is saying they did.
