So y’all know know I’ve been fighting to have chick fil a replaced on campus due to their controversies. In order to move forward, I had to meet with 2 representatives from chick fil a headquarters to hear why we shouldn’t replace them.
Here’s how it went: (Long thread) https://twitter.com/skittttzzz/status/1286747732615495680

Side note: Chick fil a has openly donated to anti-LGBTQ+ orgs & conversion camps for years & have also been associated with donating to Trump .. EVEN in 2020. (Conversion camps are basically torture camps to “turn” gay kids straight. (torture the gay outta them)
So as soon as the meeting pops off I present to the reps the reasons I & MANY students DON’T want them on campus. The main rep (i forgot his name so let’s call him Bob) was straight to the point. He admitted to chick fil a doing everything that they have been accused
of. Which I felt was a good start! I was thinking to myself , “oh ok this is about to be a BREEZE. They understand that they are trash & will not try to justify their actions & we can just be on our way, rid this contract & I can go back to sleep” chileeee I WAS SO WRONG
So chick fil a got called out in 2014 for donating to anti- lgbtq+ orgs/camps. They apologized, said they’d stop but kept donating anyway... Bob explained that the reason they were hesitant was because although money was going to homophobic organizations-
It still helped ppl. He stated that even tho the organizations were hate groups for gays, they were also doing things like providing free school supplies to kids in need SO they didn’t see the need to stop donating because it was doing some good.. So yes that 1.8 million they
Donated in 2018 that went towards anti-gay camps that tortured children was the necessary sacrifice because poor kids got school supplies. Thats BS & they know it. Like Y’all couldn’t just.. donate..to .. another.. org that wasn’t hateful? Y’all knew what y’all was doing...stop
then Bob gets into the Trump thing. He said that it’s false.. CHICK FIL A does NOT support trump. Higher ups do. So basically ,when the CEO takes his money & donates to trumps 2020 election it’s within his right & the entire company shouldn’t be judged for it. Seriously?
He explains how a CEO or employee’s political beliefs shouldn’t define an entire company. BABY THE CEO?? The CEO supporting trump shouldn’t cause ppl to stop supporting HIS company THAT HE OWNS! Bob was dead serious too, which is what made it worse!!! Then he mentions how CFA has
Apologized for everything & has grown. but then he says how the CEOs are old & explained that they camd from a different generation. So perceptions of race & sexuality “may” be offensive to our generation. This is when I LOST IT!!!!
Not you justifying it with the age...
Not you justifying it with the age...
Bob was straight gaslighting. He just kept saying that they have grown & apologized. He also kept saying studd is in the past. Like baby, 1.8 million in 2018? Trumps election? Anti-black views? Its like they get called out, apologize to keep business, then do it again!!
Like y’all
-Donated to gay hate orgs
-CEO is on VIDEO agreeing that slavery shouldn’t be looked at as a curse but a blessing
-CEO said same-sex marriage is the result of a deprived mind and “twisted up kind of stuff."
Etc.
& we’re supposed to accept apologies & move on?!?

the company clearly just doesn’t wanna lose $. That’s likely the only reason why apologies were issued in the first place. Our dining coordinator told me that if Cfa loses a contract w/ us it’s a lot of money lost & it may start a train reaction. & Im like.. GOOD
But they wanna have another meeting to discuss staying on our campus next week. They are only fighting to keep this contract cuz they fear if we do this other schools might do it too & that’s a lot of money lost. So they are about to keep fighting but I’m NOT letting up sooo
Shoutout to Sidonie, Is, Noah , Britte, & Carlee for being my support in that meeting today. They were going off too! It’s good to see students that won’t settle for BS & want change on campus
I hope they will join me next week for part 2!!!
