Anti Gay Companies: Chick Fil A Stance is Honest, But Bad For Business

Impact

Chick-fil-A may be the only honest company left. Many companies have openly promoted LGBT rights, from marriage equality in the U.S. to decriminalization of homosexuality internationally. While pro-gay businesses may genuinely want social equality, they also embrace the LGBT community with cash in mind. Gay-friendly policies are hugely profitable, as they attract two large consumer markets and the majority of job-seeking Americans. Politicians have made money by promoting marriage equality, so now business may be taking a similar strategy. Money and social equality definitely can go hand-in-hand, but it's possible that gay-friendly companies have goals that are far from egalitarian.
