Probably not Papa John's. They score high on LGBT-friendliness. https://www.nrn.com/workforce/several-restaurant-companies-named-best-places-work-lgbtq-community

Do the churchgoers know that, or do they just know that the founder is loudly racist/conservative?
Sunday? Hmm, I'd have suggested Chick-fil-A but they close on Sunday right? Guess church it is!
You gotta pay more attention. Chick Fil A hired a diversity officer so they’re woke now.
Bragg was one of the best generals for the Union.

False.
Blackstone does not own the DNA which Ancestry.com collects from its customers. Ownership of that information was not part of its 2020 takeover of the genealogy business. Contrary to the concerns on social media, Blackstone's purchase is not a new type of takeover either. Ancestry.com has been majority owned by investment and equity firms for many years.

Girl, 9, accused of being trans at Kelowna track meet
"Two Kelowna moms are speaking out after their 9-year-old daughter was verbally assaulted at a track and field event on Thursday at Kelowna's Apple Bowl.
"The mothers, who choose not to identify their daughter, say she was competing in a shot-put event when a grandfather of one of the other participants started yelling at her.
" 'She went to step up to compete for the grade four shot-put final, and right before she went to throw, a grandfather of a student said, "Hey, this is supposed to be a girls" event, and "why are you letting boys compete." My daughter is cisgender, born female, uses she/her pronouns. She has a pixie haircut,' said mom Heidi Starr."
"Starr says the man then carried on to demand certification to prove that her daughter was born female."
"He stopped the entire event. He also pointed at another girl who also had short hair. He then piped in and said, 'Well, if she is not a boy, then she is obviously trans.'"
"Starr said the man's wife then started calling her 'a genital mutilator, a groomer, and a pedophile.' "
"Central Okanagan School District superintendent Kevin Kaardal confirmed with Castanet that steps are being taken to ban the man from all school-related events."
"Staff intervened and actually moved the shot-put away from where he was. The gentleman was not a part of our school district. We are taking steps to ensure he is not able to be on our school property or attend events in the future."

Ya, this tracks for Kelowna. I only worked there for 2 years, but ya. The interior of BC is beautiful, but has some seriously fucked up politics.
Republican primary voters tend to be older, whiter, more rural, and more evangelical Protestant. Those results are well in character for them.

I’ve seen this before but idk where. The ultimate example of transphobic hypocrisy is that trans women have been arrested for going topless and then thrown into a male prison for it.
Wait, why is it an issue if they don't accept a transfemme is female?
They insist this person is male, so by their standards, the toplessness shouldn't be an issue.
Yeah yeah ConservativesDon'tCareIfTheyAreHypocrites.walloftext.jpg
For those who don't understand the reference to me...in Grounded, I would often walk up to a weevil, go "hey buddy!" in a nice friendly voice moments before head-shotting it.
Holy shit, Boyd Crowder has been better.
Not really. That would have required acceptance that they were also going to die (of COVID) as a result of their actions.
