Democratic presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg thinks he could one day make peace between the LGBTQ community and fast-food chain Chick-fil-A, which has a history of donating millions of dollars to anti-LGBTQ causes.

Controversy over the Georgia-based fast-food company goes back to 2012 when CEO Dan Cathy’s homophobic views and denouncement of same-sex marriage, as well as the company’s extensive record supporting anti-LGBTQ causes, sparked nationwide boycotts. Consumers protested Chick-fil-A as the chain scrambled to promise customers that the private company was not pushing an anti-LGTBQ agenda. Still, the company has continued to donate large sums of money to discriminatory causes, with tax filings showing the fast-food chain donated $1.8 million in 2017 to organizations that openly preach anti-LGBTQ sentiments.

However, Buttigieg, a gay Afghanistan War veteran and Rhodes scholar, suggested he hasn’t sworn off the eatery entirely.

“I do not approve of their politics, but I kind of approve of their chicken,” the South Bend, Indiana, mayor said during a Tuesday interview on New York City’s Power 105.1 FM “Breakfast Club” radio show. “Maybe if nothing else, I can build that bridge. Maybe I’ll become in a position to broker that peace deal.”
