Cracker Barrel was castigated on social media for following in the bumbling footsteps of beleaguered woke corporations Target and Anheuser-Busch InBev by lionizing the LGBT agenda.
The uproar unfolded Thursday, shortly after the country-style restaurant and gift shop chain announced it was celebrating “Pride Month.”
To this end, Cracker Barrel changed its iconic storefront display of rocking chairs to showcase a rainbow-colored chair.
“We are excited to celebrate Pride Month with our employees and guests,” the Tennessee-based corporation wrote on Facebook. “Everyone is always welcome at our table (and our [rainbow] rocker). Happy Pride!”

While many of the responses to the post applauded the move, others expressed disappointment.
“One of my favorite places to eat. Not anymore. This is sad. I’ve always thought this was a family restaurant,” one woman posted, adding that it “makes me sick.”
Numerous Twitter users blasted the family-style restaurant chain for abandoning its roots to push a left-wing political agenda.
“We take no pleasure in reporting that Cracker Barrel has fallen. A once family-friendly establishment has caved to the mob,” the Texas Family Project tweeted Thursday, sharing images from the country’s website celebrating its “LGBT Alliance” for “Bringing the Front Porch to Pride.”
