A large Texas flag hangs from the Texas State Capitol in Austin earlier this year.
But the bill passed the House by a near party line vote of 79 to 62 after about two hours of debate on Monday. If the Senate agrees to some changes it made, it will head to Republican Gov. Greg Abbott. “Look at the language in this bill,” Krause said, according to the Tribune. “There is nothing discriminatory in the language ... There is nothing discriminatory in the intent.”Rep. Jessica González, a Democrat from Dallas, tried but failed to add language to the bill that would have protected LGBTQ people from discrimination, according to the Tribune.
Other prominent Republicans in the state such as Abbott and Sen. Ted Cruz, made similar claims at the time.
What the hell is 'Chick-fil-A' bill?
Amazing how Conservatives make such a case for local control and minimal interference from a central government.......until local control does something they don't like...then it's all about telling them what they can and cannot do. Such hypocrisy.
Dear Texas, please cede from the Union immediately
PaulSorrentino3 I haven't eaten there in years. I won't spend a dime in a place that thinks my Brother is better off dead..
All the Democrats have is selective outrage! Fake news as always MAGA 2020!
Yet Muslims are free to discriminate against gays because the liberals won’t dare say anything! Let a gay Muslim couple walk into a mosque and see what happens!
Republicans hate everybody except white priviledged males
lleslie2278 Good!
Que the satanic_temple_ ! I’ll donate to open a Satanic Temple next door to a Chick-fil-A. CarefulWhatYouWishFor
Go home WaPo, you're drunk.
Plz start a useless boycott, the lines r so long, but its sooo good
Blueridgewv Because their belief in God the Dems hate them and want them wiped off the Planet. If any group defends their Rights to exist in this Country of Religious Freedom then the Dems accuse them of hate. Dems are HATE. Dems are intolerant to any belief contrary to theirs. Bullies
Because of fast pace & sloppy nature of slaughter process, many birds miss blade & go into scalding water tanks while still conscious & able to feel pain. At this particular Chick-fil-A supplier, workers est thousands of birds are scalded alive each week.
Chick-fil-A continues to trend hot. What does that tell you? A message is being sent along with the purchase of good food. 👍
“Up in arms”? Can you be more minimizing and condescending?
Righteous. You know, what lBGTQ folks, if you don’t like the store don’t go there. Now your panties are in a twist, for shame. As if I really care about you or your petty nonsense. I will trade you. I will go there and you can start to go to stores run by your ilk.
In America I should not be forced to like LGBTQ. I should have freedom to not like LGBTQ n it should not be held against me. Freedom to like n dislike but should never be told what I should like, dislike, believe
More government overreach. Typical conservative modus operandi.
Welcome to Texas.... ThE gReAteSt stAtE iN tHe UNioN
Why do we keep going backwards. Maybe we should get rid of cell phones and computers
I just love Chik-fil-A.
People do realize that there new Chick fil A restaurants opening all over and the ones already open are always packed with people so the boycott is a dismal failure. Just for thought
If only a majority of Texans beleived in a religion that taught people to “love your neighbor” and “do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”
R u f*cking kidding me?
I feel that with the diversity of people who come through airports, it's not really a place for political statements or sentiments. If you don't like a particular restaurant, don't eat there. I'll take my nuggets grilled, please.
Why can't these reprobates mind their own business?
Do Liberals Pounce?!
Just ban them for shitty food. Problem solved.
Legislation to benefit a private business allowing them to legally discriminate. Interesting choice. Court will be fun.
After 50 years of Affirmative Action, Liberals think only they have Rights under the Constitution. I am proud that Texas stood up to protect conservative businesses from the perverts.
Is there nothing your country can do to avoid the embarrassingly stupid acts of humanity exhibited by civilians and elected officials?

Texas' 'Save Chick-fil-A' bill part of a nationwide, anti-LGBTQ effort, advocates sayLawmakers in Texas are pushing legislation that they say is about protecting the religious beliefs of individuals and businesses. Critics allege the measure is part of a nationwide effort to use religion as a weapon to discriminate against LGBTQ people. How does Chick-Fil-A discriminate against LGBTQ people? They have a sign out front that says No Gays Allowed? Quit the hyperbole and virtue signalling. Ask a Christian for one legitimate example of how they're being persecuted or how they can't practice their religion. The only thing they can say is they can't discriminate against gay people, and they really, really want to. Christian persecution is bullshit. The media war against Christian continues unabated!

Texas Senate approves ‘Save Chick-fil-A’ bill to counter San Antonio council’s ban of the restaurant in airport“This bill says the government cannot discriminate against you based on your affiliation with a religious group or donation to a religious group,” a state senator said. Good. They could have said not being open on Sunday was the issue. Everyone would have understood. They chose to make it about being Christian. I hope they lose and all money donated to charity of chik fil A 🇺🇸 Interesting the push to silence or ban those who’s opinions you don’t agree with Honestly, how can the left possibly feel righteous about these sorts of things? Also, what other types of societies have dictated speech/opinion?

Texas officer fatally shoots woman after struggle over TaserA Texas police officer fatally shoots a woman moments after she seems to say 'I'm pregnant' in an altercation captured on video. The woman allegedly grabbed the officer's stun gun and used it against him. That's awful but grabbing a weapon from an officer is pretty much indefensible in terms of wanting to not be shot. Where are my pro life people? Ready to work together about police violence? All she had to do was comply with the officer and she would be alive right now. So simple.

Texas police officer filmed fatally shooting woman who claimed to be pregnant during arrest struggleA Baytown Police Department officer has been placed on leave after shooting a woman who allegedly attempted to take a Taser off him during an arrest. Another police officer pissing his pants in fear and overreacting with deadly force because...he’s incompetent and he can. She fought him, attempted to run, then took his taser: yeah she got what she deserved. Don't be a criminal and then cry about the results. You left out lots of facts....

Texas police officer fatally shoots woman heard on video shouting, 'I'm pregnant'A Texas police officer shot and killed a 45-year-old woman while trying to arrest her Monday night, authorities said. A struggle ensued when the officer attempted to arrest her for those warrants, Dorris said. The officer then attempted to render aid to the woman but she was pronounced dead at the headline is pretty bad from what the actual story says... you're just trying to stoke up anger I bet he is 'pro-life' though I am tired of unarmed people being shot by police in America, its time to take firearms off standard patrol police like Britain did in 1955, No More unarmed people shot by police? If they cannot do their job with Ethics, then fire them ASAP. If there is no weapon why kill them?
