a


The combination restaurant and storefront Cracker Barrel announced its nod to pride month to controversy online.

Cracker Barrel's classic wrap-around porch, known for its array of unique seating, included a rocker painted in rainbow colors to commemorate the month dedicated to LGBT pride. A picture was taken and posted to its social media Thursday to wish all guests a happy pride. There is no twin chair for sale on its website.

"We are excited to celebrate Pride Month with our employees and guests," the caption read on Facebook. "Everyone is always welcome at our table (and our [rainbow] rocker)."


The post received over 50,000 reactions, with a little less than 10% featuring a crying face emoji. Over 30,000 shared a mix of reactions, some happy and others angry.

On its website, Cracker Barrel boasted more photos of its booth at Nashville Pride, replete with rainbow goodies, and a giant rainbow rocker for photo opportunities.

"We take no pleasure in reporting that Cracker Barrel has fallen," lobbying organization Texas Family Project tweeted. "A once family friendly establishment has caved to the mob."


"Cracker Barrel has no idea who their costumer base is," actress Colette Harrison tweeted. "They’ve gone crackers, that’s for sure! What is the government up to that’s making all these companies give the middle finger to their costumers? CB this Bud’s for you. Go woke go broke!"


"Me: 'I gotta stop participating in the ridiculousness of modern discourse.' Me two hours later: 'Do you think they’d let me get a ‘Cracker Barrel has Fallen’ tattoo between chemo treatments?'" author Hank Green joked on Twitter.
