Any franchise or corporation that makes their religion known. So fuck chick fil a, hobby lobby, and in n out.
Any local small business with political signs or flags, or religious things on full display as well.
Disagree, I wouldn't instantly say that any gay bar is bad because "it states its political views". More like, any business that supports a facist, or is clearly religous.
Cool. I was talking about religion. Gay people have a right to exist and if a bar is friendly for them, so be it. There are other bars.
Chic Fil A is not trying to merely appeal to those of their own beliefs only. They are willingly taking anyone's money and turning around and using that for religious zealotry. In fact, the example you bring up feels extra fucked considering that fucking company goes out of its way to donate to anti-LGBTQ organizations.
Thr right will tell a basketball player to "shut up and dribble" and a burger joint oughta only make fucking burgers then.
Cultural issues =/= politics
What do you think politics are?
My point is that a place can still be not political while supporting objectively good social movements.
The personal is political
I'm not sure I would like to go to any bar or fast food place or anything like that, if they promoted their political views out in the open like that. Even if they perfectly alined with mine. I just don't want to see any of that, i'm there for the service and product.
Does In-N-Out do hateful religious stuff like Chick-Fil-A does?
All I know about is they put things like "John 3:16" on the packaging, but it's tiny and usually in a hard to see place. On the cups it used to be on the inside of the bottom rim. I'm sure they donate to religious organizations.
That said, in-n-out consistently pays ABOVE minimum wage and treat their workers very well. Prices also haven't gone up like other places. So with them, unless I find out they have a specifically evil viewpoint I've been unaware of, then just being religious gets a pass.
They're good burgers, Walter.
Not that I'm aware of but they do print Bible verses on their stuff and at this point fuck even that.
