Experiences with Discrimination

If it became public that a company I originally supported widely discriminates against something I associate with, I would most definitely no longer support that company. Even if I did not associate with the group they discriminate against, but I find it wrong, I still would not support them. For example, it was public knowledge that the company, Chick Fil A, discriminates against homosexuals. Before I knew this, I was a big fan of their food. My mom was actually the one to inform me of this. She said she wouldn’t take me to eat there because she did not support what they believed in. After I knew they highly discriminated against this group of individuals, my views of the organization changed. I didn’t like the fact that I would be giving money to a company that wasn’t accepting of a lot of people I that know, and that are close with my friends, siblings, and parents. I stopped eating at Chick Fil A for a while until my mom again informed me that they publicly stated that their views have changed. Of course, no one can really know if this is true, but my older sister’s friend who is gay, applied and got a job there, and said he really liked his new job. I am not someone to only give support to things I agree and believe in. If I believe a company discriminates against any groups of individuals, I most likely will not be a customer of that company, especially if it is a group that I personally associate with.
