Chick-fil-A has a complex history with the LGBTQ+ community, largely defined by past corporate donations to groups that opposed same-sex marriage and restricted LGBTQ+ rights. While the company officially updated its philanthropic focus in 2019 to stop funding those specific organizations, its executives and owners have still personally faced criticism for their continued traditional views. #gayrights #civilrights #bigotry #endbigotry #endcorporatebigotry #bigotryisnotafamilyvalue
Empire Kosher Poultry, Inc, the largest Kosher Chicken Plant in the United States, is located in my hometown of Mifflintown. According to the last census, the entire county lists no Jewish citizens, but as a teacher, I experienced few Mondays in which a co-worker didn't brag about "jewing" someone down in price at a weekend sale. It's a funny and bigoted old world. #endbigotry #endantisemitism #antisemitism #bigotryiswrong #civilrights #equalrights #equalrightsforall #endhatred #equality
There were many advantages to growing up in a small town of 900 folks. For a member of a despised minority, there were also numerous disadvantages. What's to be done with our bigoted society? #equalrights #civilrights #bigotry #endbigotry #enddiscrimination #discrimination #lgbt #lgbtrights #gayrights #bigotryiswrong #racism #sexism #xenophobia #homophobia #minorityrights #minority #gaymen #smalltown #smalltowns #pennsylvania
A student at his Little League game. 1977. I hope for a future in which gay people are accepted as teachers, and homophobes are not. #education #publiceducation #homophobia #bigotry #bigotryiswrong #endbigotry #student #students #littleleague #school #publicschool #publicschools #sports #exercise #goodhealth #1970s #twentiethcentury #civilrights
One of my public school students in 1977 at his Little League game. I hope some day gay people are more accepted as teachers. Sadly, it has not improved during my lifetime. #civilrights #equalrights #gayrights #endbigotry #publicschool #publicschools #publicschoolteacher #publicschoolteachers #1970s #littleleague #littleleagues #baseball #baseballplayer #baseballplayers #softball #softballplayer #softballplayers #tribe #tribes #monkeytribe #monkeytribes #monkeytribalism #tribalism
