<p>On Saturday, Twitter head Jack Dorsey tweeted out an endorsement of Chick-Fil-A after buying some sandwiches.</p>

<p>This, according to Soledad O&#8217;Brien, former CNN host, was a massive crime. How so? Well, it&#8217;s Gay Pride Month, and that means that everyone must celebrate homosexuality in every possible way &#8211; and Chick-Fil-A&#8217;s head, Dan Cathy, famously supports traditional marriage. Thus, according to O&#8217;Brien, no promotion of Chick-Fil-A is merited during this magical time of year:</p>

<p>This is an interesting company to boost during Pride month, <a href="https://twitter.com/jack?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@jack</a> <a href="https://t.co/Wmhq6Obrp1">https://t.co/Wmhq6Obrp1</a></p>

<p>To which Jack responded:</p>

<p>You&#8217;re right. Completely forgot about their background</p>

<p>There is only one problem, besides the obvious Orwellian ideological crackdown: <a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/tim-tebow-soledad-obrien-among-speakers-at-chick-fil-a-leadercast-event-may-4-at-the-university-of-texas-at-austin-145743075.html">O&#8217;Brien spoke at the 2012 Chick-Fil-A Leadercast</a>, alongside Tim Tebow and John Maxwell, among others. Presumably, O&#8217;Brien was paid for this. But times have changed &#8211; and now everyone must bow before the Pride Altar, at the behest of High Priestess O&#8217;Brien, she of the vengeful wrath against a sandwich company that has evidenced zero discrimination against LGBT people.</p></p>
