Chick-Fil-A's First UK Location Announces Its Closing After Little More Than A Week Due To LGBT Protest
2019-10-19
[BBC] A US fast-food chain will cease trading at its first UK outlet amid a row over donations to anti-LGBT groups.

Gay rights campaigners called for a boycott of Chick-fil-A, which opened its first branch at The Oracle shopping centre in Reading on 10 October.

A spokeswoman for the centre said "the right thing to do" was to not extend the restaurant's lease beyond the "six-month pilot period".

Chick-fil-A said its donations were purely focused on youth and education.

The family-owned company, founded in Atlanta in 1967, is one of the biggest fast-food chains in the USA and boasts about 2,400 outlets across North America.
3rd most popular fast food chain in the US. Suck it, LGBT
According to US news website Think Progress, in 2017 the Chick-fil-A Foundation donated millions of dollars to the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, the Paul Anderson Youth Home and the Salvation Army.

Campaigners from LGBT organisation, Reading Pride, said all three organisations have a reputation of being hostile to LGBT rights.

In 2012, the company's chairman sparked a US boycott when he said he opposed gay marriage.

Campaign continues.

#6  What I gather from the article, is Chick-Fil-A has a 6 month test lease from The Oracle.

I'd guess these insufferable hateful lgtgheqhnjc activists were generally disrupting the entire shopping experience at The Oracle; not just Chick-Fil-A.

Chick-Fil-A will continue to operate until the lease expires. The lgbhdkjn asses pledge to continue their protests until that time - I guess as a warning to others and because they are hateful, in-compassionate bottle suckers. Seriously, they win, and its months of end-zone dances, tells me all I need to know. Looking forward to Tired Of Your Shit Revolution.

#3  Queers shut down chicken restaurant for not being queer. We've reached a new spiritual plateau here.

#2  ..well, when they allowed the intolerant authoritarians to take power, sort of undermined the sacrifice of our parents' generation.

We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender

..is our fight here and now, not over there.

#1  Fellow in the graphic wearing the Collar of Esses might have been delighted to have had a few Chick-Fil-A's to hand out back in 1943. How things, they have changed.
