Country cookin\u2019 giant Cracker Barrel was thought to be a bastion of conservative America, particularly given not just the aesthetics it used to cultivate carefully but the Biblical, Christianity-themed goods sold in the shop area of its stores.<\/p>\n

Well, it tossed that conservative, Christian reputation out the window with a June of 2023 Facebook and\u00a0Instagram<\/a>\u00a0post in which it celebrated \u201cPride\u201d month with a picture of a rainbow-painted rocking chair and the caption, \u201cWe are excited to celebrate Pride Month with our employees and guests. Everyone is always welcome at our table (and our\u00a0\u00a0rocker). Happy Pride!<\/em>\u201d Here\u2019s a picture of the Facebook post:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Predictably, as happened with Bud Light, former customers of Cracker Barrel were outraged by the post. Commenting on the above Twitter post, people said things like \u201cCracker Barrel just made my boycott list!<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201d and \u201cAnother one bites the dust \u2026<\/em>\u201d Others urged restraint, with one commenter saying, \u201cPick your battles, folks. Just because they have that non-rainbow doesn\u2019t mean they\u2019re marketing to kids.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

Similarly, commenting on Cracker Barrel\u2019s Instagram post, people said things like \u201cNot necessary. No longer a family restaurant. Lost my business.<\/em>\u201d and \u201cThank you for making it so easy to shop somewhere else. So tired of the agendas. Is there a normal marriage chair.. lol. Not sure why a restaurant needs to celebrate someone\u2019s dating\/love life ect to have an agenda to push. No thanks. Can we not just eat food<\/em>?\u201d<\/p>\n

Auron MacIntyre, YouTube sensation turned Blaze personality, found and ridiculed the Cracker Barrel post as well, saying \u201cNew Bud Light just dropped\u201d in a Twitter post with a picture of the post. Here that is:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

The main reason for the outrage seen in those comments and many more was that Cracker Barrel,\u00a0like Chick-fil-A<\/a>, had been thought by many to be a conservative, Christian company that didn\u2019t bend to the current leftist pieties. They thought they could support those restaurants without having to listen to woke preaching about race or sexuality from people with whom they strongly disagree. Finding that to be suddenly incorrect, they were quite upset.<\/p>\n

For example, the Texas Family Project said, \u201cWe take no pleasure in reporting that @CrackerBarrel has fallen. A once family friendly establishment has caved to the mob<\/em>.\u201d In the post, screenshots of Cracker Barrel releases about pride and DEI were included. Check those out here:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

As you can read above, the one on DEI says, in part, \u201cOur food and d\u00e9cor celebrate warm memories of the past, and our inclusive culture and beliefs help us make way for an even brighter future, together. Discrimination, overt or through unconscious bias, has no place at Cracker Barrel Old Country Store<\/em><\/p>\n

.\u201d<\/p>\n

Similarly, the one about \u201cPride\u201d at Cracker Barrel says, \u201cThis year Cracker Barrel\u2019s focus was to be a part of the Pride experience. We had two locations in the park, both equipped with seating areas and coverage for people to sit down and cool off, while allowing for natural conversation. In the Cracker Barrel spirit of hospitality and belonging, we call it \u201cbringing the front porch to Pride.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
