I am surprised they still allowed to say that their name is “cracker” barrel..thought they should go the way of “aunt Jemima” went?

Where is the woke people and the outrage when you need them?

P.S. jk

Hard time for pedophiles and groomers now that normal people are actually trying to protect children from them.

All of this "in your face" has indeed been something that now, you will find that you have woken up a sleeping giant that you may wish was still sleeping!

My guess is that with the current push, and the push back, the numbers claiming to be an active part of the LGBTQ+ movement will step back, and leave you standing there. Your group really stepped in it when you decided to try to make OUR kids YOUR kids, and to push some pretty silly notions!

Let's face it, the whole idea that all that some group has to celebrate is their sexuality in the faces of others, maybe they need to spend less time worrying about trying to force acceptance, and actually accomplishing something to be proud of.

Seriously, no one cares about what you do. You have the same rights as everyone else, but that isn't good enough, because you want to force acceptance, which will not happen. The way the group is acting now by being radical and hateful, tolerance for the group is wearing thin! If you are so confident in who you are, you don't need others to validate you. Think about it.
It has nothing to do with simple acceptance. The far left, especially the TAs, want nothing more than subjugation of those that do not agree with them. They are hate-filled, intolerant bigots that want to be the dominant, ruling class. They make up a significant part of the modern day fascists we see daily from the left, including the Democratic party.

The right to hold hands in public without being yelled at? Because until we're there, I'd argue - not so much.

For same-sex couples to get the legal right to get married took decades of fighting, and people like you will take that away as soon as you see an opening. Don't pretend otherwise.

It's fairly unsubtle, isn't it? Advertises to the public in general that you're unlikely to have to be confronted with, y'know - those people.

Back in the 1930s, some of the better resorts in upstate New York resorts sported discrete signs - "Pork served on Saturdays". Nothing as crass as out-and-out turning Jewish customers away, they just advertised to the rest of the clientele that it was, y'know, less likely that they'd run into - those people.

Good business sense.

This is what the left creates.
The rainbow flag has become a symbol of left-wing political authoritarianism.

Any business that feels the need to display it prominently needs to be boycotted by all true Americans.

It could have been late 1980s, or early 90s. I’m sure some things have changed since then. We don’t go there much now, although I did get their Thanksgiving take out last year and it was pretty good.

Another business that does not understand its audience.

Two things:

#1: Does this mean they were not accepting of other before?

#2: If they are accepting of everyone, why are they singling out a certain group of people to be overly accepting towards? That makes it seem as though one particular group of people needs more acceptance than the rest. Is Cracker Barrel suggesting that the alphabet people need special acceptance, rather than equal acceptance? It sounds discriminatory, to me...
