The Chicago restaurant Void hosted a one-day pop-up event called 'Chick-Feel-Gay' that donated 20% of proceeds from chicken burgers, nuggets, and fries to Brave Space Alliance, an LGBTQ+ center. The event aimed to counter the controversies surrounding Chick-fil-A's past donations to anti-LGBTQ+ organizations. In 2011, Chick-fil-A reportedly donated nearly $3 million to groups opposing marriage equality. The company's chairman Dan Cathy had previously voiced opposition to same-sex marriage but later suggested a change in funding policy which appeared inconsistent over the years.
The restaurant Void has created a one-day pop-up called "Chick-Feel-Gay" where 20% of proceeds went to Brave Space Alliance, an LGBTQ+ center.
This initiative, which offers a "more gay, less repressed" option, is a direct response to past controversies surrounding Chick-fil-A and its donations to anti-LGBTQ+ organizations.
The Chick-fil-A Foundation previously donated nearly $3 million to groups opposing marriage equality and faced backlash from their chairman's public opposition to same-sex marriage.
Chick-fil-A's chairman Dan Cathy suggested in 2019 that the company would end donations to anti-LGBT causes but later became embroiled in controversies related to funding anti-LGBT initiatives.
