A Gay Chick-fil-A Employee Speaks Out

[evewithanapple]

So when people boycott Chick-fil-A, it means I don't get hours. Which means I don’t get money. Not just me, but ALL of the LGBT employees at Chick-fil-A. Yes, CFA hires LGBT people. No one’s been fired for being gay or coming out. It’s a job. A job that can’t be taken for granted when work is scarce across the country. We have to eat too. So sure,

I'm really glad I'm not in a position where I have to choose between working there or working at all, and I'm not going to begrudge anyone who is. It's a shit situation and she's doing what she has to to get by. I hope she's able to get out of there someday.

MTE.

Just an awful situation to be in - having to choose between principals or having a job to pay rent. Just an awful example of being stuck between a rock and a hard place.

I really hope a better job comes along soon for this person. They deserve not to have to work for awful bigots who don't have the first idea of what it is to be 'Christian'.

Yeah, you'd have to be a sucky person to hassle her about getting a paycheque. Most of us have had to suspend our values at work, I think.

I don't agree that we should drop the boycott because of her and people like her. If that were true, we should all buy as many sweatshop clothes as we could (and I know some economists do say that but NO).

As soon as possible. And I hope her next job is fantastic and pays extremely well.
