Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey was blasted on his own social media platform after revealing he had eaten at Chick-fil-A.
Dorsey shared a screenshot on Sunday showing he had received a 10 per cent discount at a Los Angeles branch of the fast food chain.
Alongside the screenshot, Dorsey simply wrote: ‘Boost @ChickfilA.’
He was quickly reminded of the questionable nature of promoting Chick-fil-A during Pride Month.

Dorsey shared a screenshot on Sunday showing he had received a 10 per cent discount at a Los Angeles branch of the fast food chain.
Among those criticizing Dorsey was former CNN anchor Soledad O’Brien, who told him: ‘This is an interesting company to boost during Pride month, @jack.’
Dorsey quickly conceded: ‘You’re right. Completely forgot about their background.’
He didn’t elaborate, but O’Brien was referencing Chick-fil-A CEO Dan Cathy’s views against gay marriage.
Others blasting Dorsey included Adam Goldman, who said: ‘On behalf of the LGBT community, Jack, kindly boost your head out of you a**.’

Erica Joy added: ‘Please delete this or follow up with how much free advertising you’re going to give GLAAD.’
Another Twitter user added: ‘You must love the taste of bigotry!’
In 2012, Chick-fil-A CEO Dan Cathy drew rebukes from gay rights advocates when he said he supports a ‘biblical definition of family.’

Since then, though, the company has steered clear of such debates and has not commented on LGBT-related legislation.
The chain – famed for its fried chicken and waffle fries – is also known for its Bible Belt observance of Sunday.
None of the chain’s more than 2,200 restaurants are open on that day to allow employees a day of rest.
