San Antonio City Council bars Chick-fil-A from airport, citing 'legacy of anti-LGBT behavior'

San Antonio City Council bars Chick-fil-A from airport citing alleged 'legacy of anti-LGBT behavior'

The council voted 6-4 Thursday to approve a concession agreement for the airport that includes chains such as Smoke Shack BBQ and Boss Wood Fired Bagels and Coffee, provided it excluded a Chick-fil-A concept.the fast-food chain donated $1.8 million in 2017 to groups that discriminate against the LGBTQ community.

"San Antonio is a city full of compassion, and we do not have room in our public facilities for a business with a legacy of anti-LGBTQ behavior," Treviño said in a statement, adding that everyone should feel welcome when they walk through the city's airport. "We agree with the council member that everyone should feel welcome at Chick-fil-A," Leigh Jackson said."In fact, we have welcomed everyone in San Antonio into our 32 local stores for more than 40 years."

Lawsuit which the leftist city council and mayor will lose after wasting taxpayers’ hard-earned dollars. Typical progressives...waste other people’s money on causes which do nothing for the common person.

The city council doesn’t know crap. Just because they don’t support the illusion of “gay marriage” doesn’t make them homophobes. Part of being a Christian business means being honest about all parts of the Bible and if the LGBT community has a problem with that, tough.

Is that an example of fascism?

This will only make me buy even more Chick-fil-a, to continue supporting their company and their values. The city of San Antonio is showing it’s hate for true values.

I guess I have to try them out.

thinkprogress is an anti-Christian and bigoted organization that continues to persecute Christians.

BradJonesBBBTV Such hate for America e most successful restaurant

Because of this decision, our Company will not hold our Convention in SanAntonioThe only answer is to Accept JesusChrist as Lord and Savior or spend Eternity in Hell

Not sure how Chic-Fil-A can feel comfortable about claiming to be all-welcoming when they have had a policy of not hiring LBGTQ employees. Perhaps they welcome you as long as you are on the other side of the counter, and they are making money off of you?

Would that contravene the expression of opinion

Good job San Antonio, fascism at its finest. Just how the left likes it. Keep on violating that 1st amendment.

Only the left has to lie and make up stories to show they are 'oppressed'. Please list the ways they have hurt the BLT community? Y'all mad they are so damn good, polite, fast and clean stores. Haters gonna hate

This is criminal.

So you can deny a customer based on religious beliefs but can’t deny the business because of religious beliefs? Would seem a bit hypocritical to say one is OK and one is discrimination...

Gay nazis are quite militant

Fair enough. Dan Cathy can be a bigot, san Antonio can be a hero!

Everyone has a choice as to go to Chick-fil-A or not. Go there if you want or go somewhere else. Businesses open and close all the time. Let it fail on its own. Personally I like Arby’s! The Turkey Gyros’s are excellent!

Nice

So it’s ok for them to discriminate against ChickfilA because of religious beliefs?

That’s just a lie, hope Chick-fil-a fights back against slander. Note to self- don’t visit fascist San Antonio.

Ah, so a government is punishing someone for their political and religious beliefs, which they proudly admit. Very unconstitutional. Chick fil-A is going to win one hell of a lawsuit. Better dip into your pockets, San Antonio tax payers.

Really news? Let’s talk about how your organization talked collusion for 2 years!

This is ridiculous

So bull poop . ...unreal . .

San Antonio discriminates against Christians. If Muslims were able to create a fast food chain with similar quality and success to that of Chick-Fil-A would they get discriminated against? Also, when where homosexuals banned from Chick-Fil-A?

'F' Chick-fil-A. Why the hell would they want this dry chicken restaurant that's closed on Sundays when the airport is open? GTFO! Next report please

You mean there's gay people in Texas? Holy Shit

🤣 Chick fil a isn't exactly hurting for money. Great chicken, so it's the people who get punished, not the restaurant. Nice try, though.

But no one can ACTUALLY cite a real anti-LGBT behavior or any racist behavior from ChickfilA for that matter Actually ChickfilA 🐔has most polite employees & cleanest fast food restaurants ....and did I say awesome chicken biscuits? MyPleasure

Typical lib move

Idiots!!! So sick and tired of American political correctness crap!!!!! ENOUGH!!!!

Good for them.

Since you want to accuse Chick fillet of anti- lgbt behavior, San Antonio council you have an anti-christian, anti-heterosexual behavior! 😡

Not believing in same sex marriage is not the same as discrimination or having discriminatory practices. They both employ and serve gay individuals all the time. This is nothing more than discrimination against those who’s views aren’t the same as yours. Hypocrites.

We have plenty of fine restaurants here to replace those chicken bigots.

Actions have consequences

We will be so much better off when a fraction of society ia no longer allowed to control the rest of us if your offended by them DON'T BUY THEIR CHICKEN ps nothing happens when your offended move on

Sounds like a very winnable, and lucrative lawsuit to me!

Their right as a legislative body to do so.

Good. F chicfila

Eating chicken was against the religious beliefs of most on the council.

They going to get sued for violating Chick-fil-A 1st admendment rights

That’s what we call moral conviction

Because the left is flat out evil! This is a free country. And no one gay or straight gets special treatment. The LGBT community can just not go to Chick-fil-A if they think they are biased. Now a local government is deciding for everyone. That is not the American way!

👎

Screw the lgbtq. They all mentally sick.

So what? Companies aren’t allowed to have opinions but some companies can have far left ones? What bullshit🙄

It’s also a stupid chain.

Meanwhile, busy people who frequent airports would rather eat a shoe than another plate of airport Chinese food

Liberals will ruin TX like they did Ca.

All those who do not bend the knee will be eliminated:

Sounds like Barack Obama in 2008

This is ridiculous!

San Francisco Public Defender Jeff Adachi died of cocaine and alcohol toxicity, coroner findsCardiovascular disease was a contributing factor in Adachi’s death last month at 59. Local political leaders at the time celebrated the former candidate for San Francisco mayor as a champion of people who otherwise had no voice in the criminal justice system. It’s not accidental. He didn’t mistakenly ingest cocaine and booze. Absolute degenerate. What happened to the good ole days of just doing a bump?
