Duquesne Students Fear On-Campus Chick-Fil-A Will Violate Safe Spaces
This has got to be one of the first documented cases of college students lobbying AGAINST bringing a Chick-Fil-A to campus. What’s there to hate about the establishment? Their chicken sandwiches are absolute fire and what I assume heaven is made out of. Their breakfast food tastes like puppy paws and fine-aged whiskey. Ya know what it probably is? It’s because they’re always closed on Sundays, and that’s always when I want a spicy chicken sandwich the most, and I always forget until I pull into the drive thru, and then a rush of regret, sadness and personal hatred for myself rushes over me.
No, it’s not that, but some students at Duquesne University, a private Catholic university in Pittsburgh (remember this point), are lobbying against plans to bring a Chick-Fil-A to campus because they “fear” the fast food business will threaten students’ safe spaces. Oof.
The Duquesne Duke:
At the March 26 Student Government Association meeting, Senator at Large Niko Martini proposed that the SGA pass a resolution asking the university to reconsider the inclusion of Chick-fil-A as a dining option for students.
…
“Chick-fil-A has a questionable history on civil rights and human rights,” he said in a statement to The Duke. “I think it’s imperative the university chooses to do business with organizations that coincide with the [university’s] mission and expectations they give students regarding diversity and inclusion.”
…
“I’ve tried very hard within the last semester and a half to promote this safe environment for the LGBTQ+ community,” [Lambda President Rachel] Coury said. “So I fear that with the Chick-fil-A being in Options that maybe people will feel that safe place is at risk.”
I don’t think the addition of a Chick-Fil-A on a private Catholic campus is going to turn everyone against the LGBTQ+ community. In fact, if you want to talk about “a questionable history on civil rights and human rights” then why in the hell are you going to a school run by the Catholic church in the first place? That’s like a four to five year (or six if you’re going for that Master’s in Gender Studies) triggering experience every single day. Chick-Fil-A is closed on Sunday’s, Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas because it was founded on Christian beliefs (which is essentially the tomato to Catholicism’s tomatoe in the religion circles).
You know what triggers me? U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement centers. But guess what I do. I take the looooong walk around it to get to where I need to be so I don’t see the building, fall to the ground and burst into flames. So far, so good. I’m still here, baby.
We’ll wait and see how this one plays out, but I’d be surprised to see Duquesne balk on this one. There’s only been so many times when a spicy chicken sandwich has caused so much uproar.

9 years ago at 4:48 pmThese people need a comfortable space man, gotta understand
9 years ago at 5:21 pmHow does it feel to be dumb enough to not know how to make a funny joke but just smart enough to know how to get people’s attention?
9 years ago at 6:10 pmPretty good man, pretty good
9 years ago at 6:18 pmBearded clam is actually thevaginators new account
9 years ago at 6:58 pmyou’d think a conservative religious school wouldn’t mind a conservative religious establishment
9 years ago at 4:54 pm“You’re violating my safe space!” “Uh, I’m just selling chicken nuggets”
9 years ago at 6:14 pmYou gotta think like an idiot leftist that didn’t get enough air at birth:
9 years ago at 10:13 amThe fact that the Catholic Church has covered up decades of child molestation, meh.
The university they voluntarily goto is associated with the church, eeeh.
A private business that expressed an opinion about gays once wants to open a store there, full nuclear meltdown.
Why are people such pussies
9 years ago at 4:58 pmBecause of that dadgum internet
9 years ago at 10:03 pmYou don’t fuck with a man’s Chik Fil A. Get the fuck out pussies
9 years ago at 5:03 pmClearly they wouldnt enjoy Chik Fil A anyways, seeing as theres vaginas where their mouths should be
9 years ago at 5:19 pmOnly a true asshole can be an asshole in the name of altruism
9 years ago at 5:19 pmI bet if you had every student vote, 95% would say yes to having a Chick Fil A on campus. How come colleges always give in to the vocal minority?
9 years ago at 5:30 pm95% still seems low to me
9 years ago at 7:54 pmEvery organization kowtows to these whiners. Ex: Tampa Bay changing their name to the Rays. How many people complained really? 40?
9 years ago at 10:43 amHave a chick fil A on campus. What’s probably a bit more violating is the homeless preacher that stands in front of it shouting every day
9 years ago at 8:42 amI don’t know any safer place than some Chick-Fil-A in my mouth. Fuck Liberals.
9 years ago at 6:23 pmI’m thinking about sending catering from Chick-Fila to the SGA offices there.
9 years ago at 7:03 pmWhy exactly about a Chick-fil-a is “unsafe” for the LGBTQ community? When they walk in do they burn like a Vampire touching a crucifix? But really, get a Cane’s and enjoy better food while listening to ZERO bitching.
9 years ago at 7:23 pmonly good thing at canes is the sauce
9 years ago at 7:42 pm***AND the reasonable priced and much better chicken than Chick-Fil-A as well as not having to wait behind a line of thirty 15 year old girls and their gay boyfriends. Don’t worry bud I knew what you meant to say
