This is why you don't cave

I've seen some of the tweets expressing two somewhat related points of view:

• "Come on, let's remember that we've always maintained it was just a chicken sandwich."
• "Their foundation is still giving to other overtly Christian charitable organizations."

I'm sorry, but it was a cave. It happened too soon after the Ellie Goulding situation to think that that wasn't a factor.

And you can never appease identity-politics jackboots enough. You can puke all over yourself to show how woke you've become, and they will not be satisfied.

Exhibit A:

As one might have predicted, the move was not enough to quell the backlash from activist groups on the Left the company was apparently attempting to appease. Powerful LGBT agenda lobby GLAAD quickly posted a statement condemning Chick-fil-A for allegedly still being anti-LGBT.

“If Chick-Fil-A is serious about their pledge to stop holding hands with divisive anti-LGBTQ activists, then further transparency is needed regarding their deep ties to organizations like Focus on the Family, which exist purely to harm LGBTQ people and families,” a statement from the organization reads.

“Chick-Fil-A investors, employees, and customers can greet today’s announcement with cautious optimism,” the statement continues, “but should remember that similar press statements were previously proven to be empty.”

“In addition to refraining from financially supporting anti-LGBTQ organizations, Chick-Fil-A still lacks policies to ensure safe workplaces for LGBTQ employees and should unequivocally speak out against the anti-LGBTQ reputation that their brand represents,” GLAAD concludes.

And notice the passive-aggressive snowflake-ism oozing from the phrase "ensure safe workplaces." Is there some kind of documentation to the effect that Ckick-fil-A workplaces aren't safe?

This was a colossal blunder.
