A gay student group at Duquesne University fears that a proposed Chick-fil-A outpost could jeopardize the school’s safe spaces.
“Chick-fil-A has a questionable history on civil rights and human rights,” Lambda executive board members Niko Martini told The Duke (the university’s student newspaper).

Martini asked student government leaders to pass a resolution urging the school to reconsider Chick-fil-A as a dining option for students at the Pennsylvania Catholic school.
“I think it’s imperative the university chooses to do business with organizations that coincide with the university’s mission and expectations they give students regarding diversity and inclusion,” Martini went on to tell the newspaper.
So far, the student government association has not passed a resolution one way or the other. And with good reason.
A university spokesperson told the newspaper they picked Chick-fil-A at the request of the student body.
Still, fragile feathers were ruffled by news that youngsters would soon be nibbling on plump juicy chicken breasts tucked between hot, buttered buns.
“I’ve tried very hard within the last semester and a half to promote this safe environment for the LGBTQ+ community,” Lambda President Rachel Coury told The Duke. “So I fear that with the Chick-fil-0A being in Options that maybe people will feel that safe place is at risk.”
President Olivia Erickson vowed to look into Lambda’s concerns.
“We are working on gathering students’ opinions and getting all the facts we can so we can make the best decision,” she told the newspaper.
Well, here’s a cold, hard fact: Chick-fil-A is not in the business of selling hate Chicken. They are a rock-solid, family-owned company flavored by Christian values. They do not discriminate. Period.
“It would be a really big deal for Lambda and the whole LGBTQ community on campus if someone could make a statement to eliminate the fear of being marginalized by having this business on campus,” Coury told the student newspaper.
Folks, this anti-poultry bigotry from perpetually offended groups is getting to be a bit tedious.
By the way, I’d like to commend The Duke for doing a fine job reporting the story. Their presentation was indeed fair and balanced – and quite frankly refreshing.
As for Duquesne University students who might be triggered by a Chick-fil-A cow – I would urge you to make an appointment with your school’s counseling service.
Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

Really? I don't think this Lambda person is aware of Catholic teaching on homosexual acts.
“The Bible is clear in teaching on sexual sin including sex outside of marriage and homosexual acts. Neither heterosexual sex outside of marriage nor any homosexual act constitute an alternative lifestyle acceptable to God.”

The answer is so simple. Eliminate all restaurants and cafeterias from campus, thus eliminating any potential of offending students with food choices.
Students can shop or seek off campus restaurants that meet their specific needs and safe space requirements.
Problem solved.

In my long ago youth, the worst humiliation you could experience was "You're just a chicken!"
Now it may be "you ate at Chic-Fil-A."

It is gratifying to know that these nitwits have no more serious problems to deal with than the microaggressions sparked by a chicken place.

First off why does LGBT keep getting things added to it and what's a Q+?
Second, do they have any statistical or even anecdotal evidence of how many CFA employees have been accused of hate crimes? They must have some pretty damning evidence of all the assaults perpetrated by CFA employees, owners, and vendors in order to live in fear of having a CFA open up on campus.

They do not need evidence. . . They have their itty-bitty minds made up and that is all there is to it.
Facts play no part in their little safe spaces. In truth, facts scare the shit out of them.
What was that old plan on how to destroy a free nation?
First destroy the family, then education, then religion, then disarm whoever is left.
Well, the evidence is clear. They have destroyed our education system.
Religion is under constant and increasing attack, and the dingbats are continually about disarming us.

All these people bitching about micro aggressions need to experience a little macro aggression. That'd lend some perspective.
