@yesterqueers: When Cracker Barrel tried to fire all employees “whose sexual preferences fail to demonstrate normal heterosexual values" in 1991 queer activists spent 10+ years fighting back using brunch and the stock market as their weapons. #queerhistory #crackerbarrel #brunch

If the logo redesign was our fault it would have been something fabulous. Instead we got bland unseasoned boiled chicken.

Yes,I lived through this. All of my friends who were gay were fired. It made the community so mad. I participated, In Michigan, the sit ins and had to endure gay slurs while taking up their real estate. Honestly, I never knew about theshare holder aspect and thank you for the information.

About six years ago, I met the team at Out & Equal. They have a very concerted effort to be more inclusive as they should be because they need a lot of employees!

Idk, I’m kinda game to accept blame for the logo change. Just for giggles.

I know you can’t cover everything, but they also had a pretty racist business practice that ended in a settlement in the early 2000s as well.
