When the LGBT Gaystapo decided they were gonna "get" Chick-Fil-A a couple of years ago, by demanding a boycott of the restaurant, because of the "hate" of its founder supporting traditional marriage. The LGBT protestors were greeted with free sandwiches and soft drinks from the employees of the Hateful Christian establishment.
( BTW, it was also the BIGGEST SALES DAY IN CHICK-FIL-A history, as Americans showed the Gaystapo what we think of THEIR BULL$#@!. )
When an islamist terrorist slaughtered nearly 50 people at a known gay nightclub in Orlando, the nearby Chick-Fil-A, normally closed on Sunday, opened up the next day, (Sunday), and offered space for its employees , their families and blood donors gathered there, and were also fed, as well, etc. to meet and console each other...
The hate-filled, Nicole Russell hit piece, fails to mention any of that, of course, in it's hate-filled, vitriolic venom hurled at the company, and the "evil" of Christians, in general:
The New Yorker Publishes Hate Piece Against Chick-fil-A’s Christian Ethos
Liberals can’t stand the success of a Christian-run company selling folks fried chicken sandwiches successfully with a smile.
Last month, Chick-fil-A opened its fourth franchise in Manhattan. Even though customers seem thrilled and the company appears to be thriving, some on the Left aren’t happy. On Friday, the New Yorker published a story with a headline only they could love: “Chick-fil-A’s Creepy Infiltration of New York City.” Not to be outdone, they tweeted an even worse headline, pulled directly from the article:

✔ @NewYorker
Chick-fil-A’s arrival in New York City feels like an infiltration, in no small part because of its pervasive Christian traditionalism

From this and the article itself, one would think terrorists or some other hostile entity were invading America’s Big Apple, not that a restaurant famous for its fried chicken sandwiches had opened another location. The vitriol toward a company a Christian founded highlights just how much progressives hate Christianity.
The article’s quick history of the restaurant cherry-picks Christian beliefs to justify its bias against Christianity:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Its headquarters, in Atlanta, is adorned with Bible verses and a statue of Jesus washing a disciple’s feet. Its stores close on Sundays. Its C.E.O., Dan Cathy, has been accused of bigotry for using the company’s charitable wing to fund anti-gay causes, including groups that oppose same-sex marriage. ‘We’re inviting God’s judgment on our nation,’ he once said, ‘when we shake our fist at him and say, ‘We know better than you as to what constitutes a marriage.’’ The company has since reaffirmed its intention to ‘treat every person with honor, dignity and respect,’ but it has quietly continued to donate to anti-L.G.B.T. groups."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It’s true, the late S. Truett Cathy was an outspoken Christian who integrated Christian ethos into the company’s vision and mission. Orthodox Christianity has since its beginning and through today opposed homosexual behavior, so there’s no surprise here. Because of its owners’ also Christian views about Christ’s love for sinners, the company has shown love and grace—through fried chicken sandwiches, of course—to communities in need over and over again, including communities grieving over gay loved ones. Apparently showing love to imperfect people is too confusing a stance for New Yorker writers to handle.
Following the shooting at the Pulse gay nightclub in Orlando, local folks gathered in line to donate blood. Employees of a nearby Chick-fil-A opened the restaurant, although it’s normally closed on Sundays to give employees time with their families, and gave donors food while they were waiting. Stories like this abound, yet there’s no mention of this kind of repeated generosity from the company.
Nor do media reports convey that this kind of loving behavior is rooted in Christianity’s central teaching that Christ gave his life on behalf of evil people (which is all of us). That’s because compassion and success hurt the progressive narrative about the evils of faithful Christians.
Instead, The New Yorker piece has a bone to pick, and it does so even to the point of sounding illogical and conspiratorial. The author, Dan Piepenbring, works hard to paint Chick-fil-A as weird and strange, because it demonstrates Christian, wholesome values under the guise of “community,” which clearly “suggest an ulterior motive.”
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The restaurant’s corporate purpose still begins with the words ‘to glorify God,’ and that proselytism thrums below the surface of the Fulton Street restaurant, which has the ersatz homespun ambiance of a megachurch. David Farmer, Chick-fil-A’s vice-president of restaurant experience, told BuzzFeed that he strives for a ‘pit crew efficiency, but where you feel like you just got hugged in the process.’ That contradiction, industrial but claustral, is at the heart of the new restaurant—and of Chick-fil-A’s entire brand. Nowhere is this clearer than in the Cows […]I f the restaurant is a megachurch, the Cows are its ultimate evangelists.
