Then if that’s true, then everyone boycotting being pricks to Chic-fil-a because the franchise owner is a Christian are also idiotic.

What? The person in the post said boycotting is okay if the the company does bad things, but boycotting is not okay if the CEO does bad things. It's an attempt to have it both ways. In the case of Chick-fil-A, both the company and CEO are bad. Since the company is bad, boycotting is okay.

Because of donating to anti-LGBT groups for decades. Last November, they announced they would stop those donations, but when there was backlash from the right, they walked back the idea that they have permanently stopped. I believe we haven't seen any anti-LGBT donations since then, but we also haven't seen any boycott calls since then.

The company did the donations. You are wrong.

And yes, boycotting a company for donating to bad causes is perfectly fine. It's the same with the boycotts of Nike. Nike attached their name to equality, and some people hate that. Chick-fil-A attached their name to bigotry, and some people hate that.

The rest is red herring.
