NCF opposes the Equality Act, which would expand the Civil Rights Act to include protections for the LGBT community at the expense of religious liberty.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Burger King kickstarted its campaign after The Daily Beast\u2019s article dropped. A spokesperson for Burger King told <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/money\/food\/2021\/06\/06\/burger-king-chicken-sandwhich-donate-lgbtq-group-chick-fil-a\/7573712002\/\"><span>USA Today<\/span><\/a><span> that the company couldn\u2019t \u201cmiss an opportunity\u201d like this one.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThis is a community we love dearly and have proudly supported over the years, so we couldn\u2019t miss an opportunity to take action and help shine a light on the important conversation happening,\u201d the spokesperson said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Chick-fil-A, which has donated to conservative, Christian organizations, has been a source of controversy for liberal online trolls for years. In 2018, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey \u201cboosted\u201d Chick-fil-A in a tweet and received intense backlash from progressives. Dorsey <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/twitter-ceo-boosts-chick-fil-internet-melts-down-james-barrett\"><span>apologized<\/span><\/a><span> for admitting that he loves the fast food chain, which was considered an even more egregious sin to activists because he said it during Pride Month.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Burger King, by comparison, has been seen as a more progressive advocate. In July 2020, the fast food chain announced they planned to feed their cows lemongrass to reduce the amount of methane emissions from cow farts, which some say contribute to climate change.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cCow farts &#038; burps are no laughing matter,\u201d Burger King tweeted. \u201cThey release methane, contributing to climate change. That\u2019s why we\u2019re working to change our cows\u2019 diet by adding lemongrass to reduce their emissions by approximately 33%.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Burger King was also embroiled in a scandal after Burger King U.K. put out a supposedly misogynistic tweet aimed at encouraging more women to pursue work in culinary fields.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The Daily Wire <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/burger-king-u-k-tries-to-celebrate-women-in-tweet-ends-up-apologizing\"><span>reported<\/span><\/a><span>:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"20\">\n<p><i><span>According to [Burger King], the majority of the culinary workforce is occupied by men. This led Burger King U.K. to tweet in support of more women entering the field in a celebration of International Women\u2019s Day. The fast-food chain also used the day in order to announce a scholarship program, called H.E.R (Helping Equalize Restaurants), but the initial tweet was enough to upset users on Twitter.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span>The controversial post was a series of tweets, beginning with \u201cwomen belong in the kitchen,\u201d followed up with \u201cif they want to, of course.\u201d Another tweet continued, \u201cYet only 20% of chefs are women.
