"An Atlanta-based chicken-sandwich chain that has been expanding beyond the South has tried to distance itself from a previously stated anti-gay corporate stance, but scrutiny persists: CEO Dan Cathy publicly acknowledged the company's anti-gay position in 2012, and the chain has continued to donate to anti-LGBTQ+ organizations. Executives now say they want to focus on serving people rather than social policy, but those past actions have led some schools and communities to reject hosting its locations." - Chris Fuhrmeister
