WASHINGTON: The"Lord's chicken" no more: US fast food chain Chick-fil-A - beloved among Americans for its sandwiches, nuggets and milkshakes - found itself on the receiving end of right-wing ire this week, accused of succumbing to"woke" ideology.
And in 2012, it was progressives who spurned Chick-fil-A's offerings for supporting anti-gay marriage efforts. Though that position has already been filled for a few years, angry social media commentators seem to have only just noticed this week. "Chick-fil-A you are no longer the Lord's chicken. You're actually the woke chicken, and I'm really upset about it as a Christian woman," she says.
The company had launched a line of items marking June's LGBTQ Pride Month, including rainbow-adorned T-shirts, party decorations and cooking supplies. Many social media users now say they've totally given up the brand, and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, a Republican presidential candidate, has vowed to never drink Bud Light again, loathe to support anything"woke" - a somewhat amorphous term used by conservatives to describe progressive cultural values."The goal is to make 'pride' toxic for brands," conservative commentator Matt Walsh said on Twitter.
