Chick-fil-A plan for gay-friendly Palm Springs sparks outrage: ‘I’d starve before I ate there’
NY Post
Plans by Chick-fil-A to open an outpost in gay-friendly Palm Springs, Calif. sparked intense backlash from angry residents looking keep out the famously devout the company once known for donating to anti-LGBTQ causes.
Matt Robinson, a Palm Springs resident, posted an image on his Facebook account earlier this week showing a sign in front of a small shopping center.
“PROJECT UNDER CONSIDERATION,” read the sign posted in front of 5200 Ramon Road, where Chick-fil-A plans to set up a 5,635 square-foot location with a three-lane drive thru as well as an indoor and outdoor seating area.
Robinson’s post generated more than 460 comments — the overwhelming majority of them negative.
“I prefer my chicken without the side of homophobia,” wrote Facebook user Brown Aneka.
Byron Winward, another Facebook user, said Chick-fil-A was showing “a lot of nerve” to locate one of its restaurants in an area where “11 out of 10 people are queer.”
