9. What? All the years of outloud bigotry

cutting into their profits? They need more so they must expand?

Fuck em!

I do not believe for one moment they are doing this because of their feeling bad over past bigotry.

I have never eaten there and I never will unless I see them donating heavily to equality issues, equality for all but most especially for LGBTQ+.

I will wait and see. I see they are changing their charitable giving. Good. I will wait. It will take a while before I actually believe it. I want to make certain they are not also still donating to places that do not believe in equality. A donation to HRC will not cut it.

I spent too many years working this issue to see them get to squirrel out of all the damage they have done.

Yo! Salvation Army? You next?
