Not saying Lindsey isn't or is gay, just that its kind of fucked up to insist that he is and that he needs to be outed because he says stupid shit.

So, that's the fucked up part to you? Not that a likely gay man is instrumental in helping deny gay people the same rights as the rest of us? That he goes to bat for a company that funds anti-gay agendas? Surely you understand the concept of not respecting a self-loather, one who prefers virtue signaling and culture war bullshit to doing his damn job? A morally and ethically bankrupt contradiction in human form doesn't deserve my respect, or yours.

Further, as someone who has a gay man for immediate supervisor and good personal friend, I have absolutely no issue with calling Graham Lady G. This is a topic we've discussed. I will mock dishonest poseurs anywhere and anytime I choose, and I suggest everyone do it. Silence is too often conflated with apathy and agreement.

OH. MY. GAAAAAAAAAAAAAWD.

The HORRORS of donating money!

Oh? Did that bring back a Soros, Clinton or Bloomberg nightmare? Poor baby, maybe you're constipated again. Too much fried CFA? The discomfort is known to cause children to cry. Here's hoping you can blow it out your ass like usual, get better soon traitor.

Queer politician goes his entire career pretending not to be, then says he'd "go to war" to protect the people who want to discriminate against people like him. In order to score political points in the raging culture war, of course.

Graham is a fucking joke. He says one thing one day and the opposite thing the next. I have no idea why anyone even listens to him anymore.

He should be outed for being gay though. Don't get me wrong. I'm strongly against forcibly outing people. But Graham is a rare exception because he's made himself a public figure and he lies about his stances for personal and political gain. Outing him would end the pretense that he really is the conservative culture warrior that he sometimes claims to be.

Whats disturbing is in this day and age after LGBT activism galore courtesy of leftism - you're all still judging a guy to being stereotypically gay just because he has a more high-voice that you commonly stereotype to being more feminine vs. a deep low-tone "manly" voice.

Just goes to show you're all A-Okay with stereotyping, racism (uncle tom), and sexism the moment it's on an opposing political view. You tribal morons are all the same of what you proclaim to be against. Carry on, toolbags.

Nahh, you're just now trying to repeat Graham's own virtue signaling. What with you being an unoriginal putz and all. Quite predictable, sadly.

The tribal mention wow, you just can't let a single thread go without projection, can you? Good laugh, thanks. Probably time to find a toilet though, sounds like you are near full capacity.

Chase bank has some issues like that too, but I didn't catch on until I had an account.

Same Chase bank that said no thanks to Proud Boy's chairman Torrio? There was quite an uproar among Team Treason over Chase declining to support "non-leftist" groups, didn't that loser O'Keefe make another hacked up clip about it? Has the bank changed course?

There was something about donating to the presidential election fund and then not doing so based on who got elected, but I don't recall the details.

I've always found the hate for CFA here amusing. CFA is money printing machine. If I could buy their stock and invest in the company, I would've done so years ago. But CFA doesn't need to be public or need Wall St. money because the company is literally money printer. They pretty much destroy all other FF restaurants in terms of sales per store. Like literally double the sales per sq ft compared to their nearest competitor. It's not even really a contest. CFA is just getting started. CFA best days of growth are still ahead of them as they're still not national and will just keep growing and expanding. And they still have international market they haven't tapped into yet. Pretty much everywhere they go and open, CFA is loved and overwhelmed with customers. I have never seen or heard CFA location that closed to poor sales. They literally have the secret to printing money.

People here love to talk about the taste of CFA food, positively or negatively. Mostly negatively in Anandtech forums. But taste of their CFA sandwich only plays minor role in their overall success. It's good tasting chicken sandwich but nothing amazing. What's amazing is their customer service, how clean their stores are, and how efficient and pleasant the entire ordering and dining experience is at CFA. They have like billion different condiments all for free and even offer plastic table covering things for kids. And their mobile app is the best. And management and employees that seems genuinely happy and care that you have good experience as well. CFA is best of the best and the only other FF chain I've been that can even come close to matching them is In-N-Out Burgers. And like CFA, In-N-Out is money printing machine as well. Both have solid foods but offer even better customer service. And that's the key. Superior customer service. And no fast food company can touch CFA when it comes to customer service. And no one who eats at CFA cares about their politics. I don't. I go there for good food and excellent CS. People here live in some fairyland where politics is only thing that matters. People in the real world call you guys crazy people. It doesn't matter if you're left or right. You're all crazy.

That's all good dude, but you're literally posting in a thread where an elected GOP politician is continuing the politicization of CFA bigoted world views. Some would call it virtue signaling, and a purity test, and it is.

So while you can sit back and call others crazy, don't fool yourself into believing the conservatives aren't pushing a culture war full time.

Money makes the world go round. In western ma, a CFA moved in, we don't go there 😉

To pretend like conservatives entire platform isn't just a culture war is pretty intentional.

People will vote with their wallet, and I guarantee you that CFA at Notre Dame will be wildly popular and successful. You always have couple crazies protesting. Let them protest. But catering to the crazies would be crazy.

I'm not sure what you're saying here. I vote with my wallet, and CFA "stopped" donating to anti-LGBTQ charities, or at least said they did. So is that catering to the "crazies", who in this case are people who don't want to support bigotry?

I mean, you really didn't even reply to post info. Do you have an opinion WRT conservative elected leaders constantly facilitating a culture war?

You came in, said CFA is the bees knees, and people here are crazy.

No matter how much you keep telling yourself otherwise, you greatly enjoy their chicken sandwich, waffle fries, and milk shake ;) We know you can't handle the temptation no matter how much you proclaim that you don't go there.

You're like a priest that has a giant porn stash in his closet while proclaiming to be holy ;)

I've visited two CFA's in my day. Both in 2010 in Marietta GA. One was not bad, and the other was kinda gross. It wasnt impressive IMXP. Like others have pointed out, there's better options for roughly the same money.

Add to that my tendency to not fellate religious nutters, yea...ez choice to not go there and give to local food joints.

The way CFA fans turned it into a virtue signal purity test festival, I'd think you be against it. You seem to hate that stuff.

Lindsay is crazy. So are the protesters. People just want to be able to eat their chicken sandwich without screaming politics. And the only the crazies on both sides are making the politics the central issue when people just want to eat chicken sandwiches and CFA wants to sell chicken sandwiches. I'm pretty sure if they polled all the students at ND if they want CFA on campus or not, the majority would say they want CFA. No politics. No BS. If you don't like their food, don't eat there. You want to start competing chicken restaurant that caters to people who don't like CFA? Go ahead. But I have a feeling politics are super low on people's priority when it comes to them choosing where to eat.

Yea, until the companies politics sucks them into the culture war. Do you remember that big ole campaign to support CFA after people brought up the companies political donations?

People can choose not to eat their for any reason they wish. Just like conservatives can feel free to smash another home appliance or only buy Goya products, or boycott potato heads, etc..

I don't think Lindsay is crazy, he's just doing what is normal in his political hemisphere.

What does that have to do with a fast food restaurant that will continuously Trump and forever beat out the others? They will continue to expand like crazy, no matter how butt-hurt you cucks get about them donating money to the Salvation Army.

January 6th Capital rioters were all traitors. Nothing to do with CFA. Plenty of people like myself eat at CFA and never think about the politics. We just want to eat good food with great customer service. Same reason I shop at Costco. They sell good products with great customer service. Same with Apple. I only care about their products and customer service unless they're advertising their politics in my face. Then it becomes a problem. CFA does not do that. It's the people In the far end of the spectrum who do that because they have nothing better to do with their time.

So as long as CFA keeps their mouth shut about their financial support for kill-the-gays legislation, it's all good? Because remember, that's exactly what CFA's owners were doing with the profits from selling you their chicken sandwiches.

CFA decided to politicize the company's stance on gay rights. They initiated and continue to stand behind their bigotry toward gays.

Doesn't matter if their food is good or not, doesn't matter how much they pay their employees either. The owners took a stand on that issue and don't really care what others think of it. Sure it's a throwback attitude that will have to stand the test of time as the nation's attitudes become more liberal, more progressive.

Most folks who go there aren't knowledgeable of CFA's bias against gays and I'm sure CFA would like to keep it that way in order to avoid them further alienating their customer base.

However, in order to really mean what they say as far as being anti-gay, they should let their hair down and post signs in their storefront windows expressing their views on the matter and let their customers decide what to do about that.
