This week, April 25th to 28th, do your friends, neighbors, and community a favor: Don't buy anything from Chick-fil-A*. If fact, you might not want to go there ever again.
Why? Because every meal, sandwich, and nugget purchased from this chain
directly supports organizations working against marriage equality, such as Alliance Defense Fund and Family Research Council.
What is marriage equality? This is the idea that everyone, no matter what their sexual orientation or lifestyle choices, has the right to marry the person they love.
Why is it important? It's important because everyone deserves the right to love and be loved in return. It's important because no one should be made to feel ashamed of who they care about.
Why should you care? Because the people being denied this right are people you know: you may work with them, you may go to school with them, you may live by them. They might just be people you pass on the street, but you know them. And you should care about the people you know.
*Fact: Chick-fil-A's charitable division has provided more than $1.1 million to anti-LGBT organizations. Please don't add to that number.
