Texas A.G. investigating Chick-Fil-A's exclusion at airport

March 29, 2019, 3:14 PM GMTAUSTIN, Texas — Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton opened an investigation Thursday into San Antonio's decision to exclude Chick-fil-A from opening airport concession facilities due to the fast-food chain owners' record on LGBTQ issues.

"The Constitution's protection of religious liberty is somehow even better than Chick-fil-A's chicken," Paxton said in the letter."Unfortunately, I have serious concerns that both are under assault at the San Antonio airport."The attorney general's action comes after the San Antonio City Council voted 6-4 last week to block Chick-fil-A from getting a new concession contract at the airport.

Councilman Manny Pelaez said at the meeting that Chick-fil-A has a history of funding anti-LGBTQ organizations that support and advocate for gay conversion therapy. Pelaez said approving the restaurant would"help them fund those efforts by making money off of our airport."Paxton also told San Antonio officials he asked U.S.
