In the last two weeks, Chick-fil-A has missed out on two potentially lucrative airport contracts after local politicians raised concerns over the company's anti-LGBTQ history.
New York State Assemblyman Sean Ryan tweeted Thursday that he was disappointed in the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority's decision to put a Chick-fil-A in the Buffalo Niagara International Airport. In San Antonio a week earlier, the city council voted 6-4 to remove Chick-fil-A from its seven-year concession plan for one of San Antonio International Airport's terminals. The day before the vote, ThinkProgress reported that the private company's foundation had donated more than $1.8 million to three anti-LGBTQ organizations, including the Salvation Army, according to its 2017 tax filings.
Governments should not have the power to discriminate based on religious conscious.
That's too bad. It is some good chicken. I think I will have Chic fila A for lunch. Anyone wanna join me?
All out assault on Christian, Jewish, and Muslim beliefs.
They'll be fine. The proprietors of those airports probably already made a deal with another vendor and just used this moment to cater to the morons on social media.
What a bunch of pure propaganda 💩 They lost the bid in San Antonio but CNBC just spins it to suit their progressive liberal bias
So the local municipality politicians are discriminating against pro heterosexual beliefs? Isn't that the same as discrimination against other beliefs?
Vote out the politicians, what a joke.
ChickfilA can loose every airport deal and my support for them would only increase. Spicy Deluxe Sandwich, Waffle Fries and a Coke. It’s fast food crack and absolutely delicious. eatmorechikin
Inclusive but not to Christians. The thought police would stamp at all opinion.
aw poor bigots
A business shouldn't be shut down because you don't like the corporate owners views on the alphabet people.
And they won’t cater to SJW’s and are far more successful than any competing QSR
Such nonsense...... they should copy the Papa John playbook & put a gay Celebrity on the board, promise change meanwhile, any idiot who protests Chick-fil-A needs to do something much more productive with their life
Awesome
I'm glad the owner is standing by his convictions.
