After the tweet, Dorsey was called out by followers, including former CNN reporter Soledad O’Brien, who said “This is an interesting company to boost during Pride month, @jack.”

Chick-Fil-A has been donating to anti-LGBTQ groups for at least a decade. A few years back CEO Dan Cathy said he wanted to put the controversy behind him but no remediation ever materialized.
