Former Chick-fil-A employee Brenda Honeycutt is suing the restaurant for terminating her so she could be a “stay-at-home mother.”
Honeycutt’s job performance at a Chick-fil-A in Duluth, GA was “satisfactory-to-above satisfactory,” yet she was fired and replaced by a male employee, marking one of a pattern of similar gender-based firings at Chick-fil-A restaurants in Georgia, according to GLAAD.
This comes after last week’s statements by Chick-Fil-A’s Chief of Operations, Dan Cathy, in which he openly declared that he does not support marriage equality for gay and lesbian couples – now the company has taken one further step of being out of touch with American values. In light of this statement, a number of individuals and groups have taken action against the company, notably the mayors of Chicago and Boston, a Philadelphia city councilmember, as well as youth from the Orange County, CA-based group Youth for Empowered Action (YETA), who are working with GLAAD.
In case you missed that last part - yes, other cities are standing up against Chick-fil-A. Oh, they are so screwed, and it is so good.
