If you thought we’d kind of moved past the Chick-fil-A-is-Hate-Chicken phase of the national discourse, think again.
Burger King hasn’t forgotten the way Chick-fil-A persecuted LGBTQ+ people (read: Burger King has wholly bought into the false narrative that Chick-fil-A has persecuted LGBTQ+ people), and in honor of Pride Month, they’re using their own chicken sandwich as a force for good:

Here’s the tweet:
the #ChKing says LGBTQ+ rights!
during #pride month (even on Sundays 👀) your chicken sandwich craving can do good! we are making a donation* to @HRC for every Ch'King sold 🏳️🌈

*6/3-6/30 with every Ch'King sold, BK will contribute 40₵ to the Human Rights Campaign (Max. donation $250k)

Ah, yes. The Human Rights Campaign. Charlotte Clymer‘s old stomping ground. The organization that’s not so much about LGBTQ+ rights or pride as it is about shaming and sliming conservatives.
Great choice there, Burger King.
Brilliant marketing move to actively alienate half the American population on behalf of the most radical activists in the Democratic base https://t.co/KCVt8VxABo

Human Rights Campaign just isn’t worth it. But the virtue-signaling opportunity is just too good to pass up.

I'll be happy to eat at any restaurant that will give it a rest and let me dine without being reminded of their non-food-related advocacy. Ironically, Chick-fil-A is one of those restaurants.

But the thing is, I don't go to chick fil a for moral guidance. I go for their top quality fast food. Burger king doesn't compare.

Have it your way, Burger King. Good luck with all this.
Meanwhile, Chick Fil A never even thinks about Burger King. https://t.co/FbSsSppT1S
