This is less a "yeah chick filla" thing than a "yeah public shaming and boycotts work" thing.
This is after donating 5 MILLION dollars to anti-gay groups, including those that have been designated 'hate groups' by the Southern Poverty Law Center according to the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation.
Actions like those described here:

show that the company and its owners are still trying to raise money for jerks but at least when people can eat a sandwich without their money going to fund hate groups...so chalk this up a win I guess?
Here you can find info about the donations that started the campaign:
