#ChickFilA #LGBTQ #Starbucks

   I'm working for two different sides of the coin right now, on one side I have my completely accepting franchises that I've worked for, and the polar opposite (corporate)--Who a ton of LGBTQ friends and even dates have asked me how I work for them. On the other I have #Starbucks, a company that a lot of Christians see as going against the Bible...whether that's their Christmas cups, (I'm sorry, that one is comical to me.) or the fact that the company on a whole is completely accepting of the LGBTQ community. I want to go into why I work for CFA at this point.

   I realize not a lot of Christians know that there are LGBTQ workers at CFA; but there are. And I'm proud to be a part of that minority. I want to go into why I continue to work for CFA after about 5+ years...(give or take a few breaks between the three locations I've worked at.)

1.) The People/Culture of People-We have some really good workers and just all around good people. I've seen this at all 3 locations I've been able to work at.

2.) The Opportunity to make a difference-We as a franchise are able to help people and potentially make their day better.

3.) The Duty-I feel as a Gay man I need to stay as long as I can so that hopefully other LGBTQ people can feel safe and that they don't have to hide any part of themselves because they are scared of homophobia showing its nasty head (granted it's everywhere, but you get the point...)  

4.) The Fun-When we are jiving on the floor the work seems effortless. 

5.) Faith-We can have discussions of our beliefs without people looking at us like we have a third eye. 

All of this to say, I will continue to stay with CFA until I feel it's time to go and or God tells me otherwise.

Some of Our Values:


  • A Passion for Excellence Passion fuels our commitment to the endless quest for excellence.
  • Integrity, Respect, and Responsibility We are committed to doing what is right without exception.
  • People – Our Greatest Resource Outstanding people make it all happen – they will lead us toward the future.

Holding to Hope

I would like to speak to the fact that they want you to believe we are inherently evil or “sinful” as they like to use, and that “most” won’t pass a particular “Christian” post on because they “haven’t found the saving grace of Jesus” …etc…more therapy…  {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} Being on the other side of things now I see so much joy and beauty in EVERYONE and not just the select few that happen to go to the church I attend. I believe we are inherently good, the world makes us evil and hard and sometimes our churches are the ones that do that. No matter what your life story is, it’s never too late to turn it around and bring Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness and Self-Control into your life.  Another thing I will add to this is; I do not believe now is the time to be patient and self controlled in regard to matters that are happening in our country against other human beings. I know people who will use this and...

Rantings from a very angry Christian Gay Boy

         They are trying to shut down our voices. I know it sounds very conspiracy theorist--and I wouldn't believe it myself except for the fact that Trump is trying to shut down anything and anyone who may speak up against him. It's a dictatorship and I would not be surprised if Marshall law was his next plan of attack.-- Instagram no longer allows you to go live unless your profile is A.) Public and B.) Has more that 1k Followers. I have been using Facebook for my live feed rants nut they have also (as a part of Meta) made it so live videos only last for 30 days and are deleted after that time. So here is the video I recorded today. ****Disclaimer: I mispoke, it was the Rio Grande, not the San Andreas Fault. Stay safe my friends, Never stop speaking up! They want us silent. Jonathan
