""CONGRATULATIONS TO THE HAPPY COUPLE!" the December 3 post reads. "Dougie & Toby recently got married and we are so beyond happy for them!""
"A December 4 article on the group's Washington Stand website says the restaurant "waffles on wokeness" for "condoning a message that is radically at odds with the biblical values that most people associate them with." "While most of Chick-fil-A's chains are run by local operators, the fact that any location felt comfortable posting such a controversial message is further proof that the company hasn't weeded out the LGBT extremism that sparked so much backlash just a couple of years ago," FRC's website states. "Chick-fil-A built a business model based almost entirely on faith. And frankly, that means they should be held to a higher standard.""
""Chick-fil-A embraces all people, regardless of race, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or gender identity," the company's corporate office said in a statement it's been sending out to people who complained about the Facebook post, according to FRC. The statement also says that the company is "embedding Diversity, Equity & Inclusion..."
A Chick-fil-A franchise in Orem, Utah posted a Facebook message congratulating two men, Dougie and Toby, on their marriage. The post limited comments and most visible responses were supportive of the couple. Conservative Christian groups, including the Family Research Council, expressed outrage and published criticism on their Washington Stand website, accusing the restaurant of "waffling on wokeness" and tolerating "LGBT extremism," and saying the company should meet higher faith-based standards. Some Christians requested corporate denouncement of the franchisee. Chick-fil-A corporate responded by saying the company embraces all people and is embedding Diversity, Equity & Inclusion efforts.
