The so-called “Save Chick-fil-A” bill explicitly forbids the government from taking “any adverse action” against any person or business for affiliation with a religious organization.

The Texas State Capitol in Austin.

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.”State 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.

openargs Hello Satanic Temple! Surely there is opportunity here?

The gay Stasi is what?

When aren’t LGBT advocates up in arms?

When a liberal doesn’t like a company’s stance they want it banned so no one can eat there. A conservative simple eats elsewhere. 🤷🏼‍♀️ yes, folks, it really is that simple.

I’m with lgbtq

Chick-fil-A is the most blessed fast food restaurant in the industry and have never singled out a group. This is Democrat’s who are bigots and trying to make good people look bad because they aren’t homosexuals. Sick.

now as far as Chick-fil-A goes, I don't care, I don't eat cardboard tasting chicken. and I do believe in a higher power. I don't believe any government force their oh-so-false-only-for-votes judeo Christian bullshit down my throat. I don't believe in institutional religion.

Chick-fil-A is great.

Texas is an EVIL prison planet.

Chinh cac ong buoc toi phai tao ra vi rut pha tat ca mang de chong hack thi cac ong dung trach toi

Conspicuously, the WP 'doesn't have the balls' to call out GOP lawmakers that VIOLATE the Constitution. They have to cite 'the outrage of LGBT advocates' instead of 'doing their prescribed FUNCTION by out Founding Fathers to be a check on unconstitutional Government.' Sad, even.

I ate at a Chick-fil-A once... it was gross🤢

Well,let's see.....,first the Government attacks woman's Rights, about what they are and are Not aloud to do with there bodies. Now, there attaching LGBT community ! What's next? Passing Bills about what,Hetro-Sexuals do in the bedroom?

This VIOLATES the Establishment Clause and the Equal Protection Clause in one fell swoop.

Read your story about the students putting bodily fluids in teachers crepes. This happens at Chick, with LGBTQ and people of color. I knew people who were encouraged to do nasty things to the food. Reminded me of that.

Great.

As I read it: load up on chikfila to the point it nauseates me, cause the boycott's a-comin'.

Republicans pandering to caveman. What else is knew ?

LGBT-EIEI-O Activists are pretty much “up in arms” all the time anyway. So, who cares?

as Washington post scares texas lgbt)

Lion ted

How much has Chick-fil-A donated to their campaigns? Damm it...now I want a chicken sandwich

Those tolerant Liberals- who ONLY believe in Free Speech when you believe exactly what they believe and criminal when you don't

Conservative doesn’t like something they just don’t go. A liberal doesn’t like something NO ONE can go.

BoycottChickFilA

Lol. Imagine being triggered by chicken sandwiches.

Don't like Chick-Fil-A, don't go to Chick-Fil-A! Don't like guns, don't buy a gun! Don't like babies, don't have sex! Stop trying to control everyone! MAGA! TRUMP2020!🇺🇸😎

Left is always “ up in arms.”😂

Well, we knew it was gonna be either Texas or Florida.

Southern republicans passing wacky legislation that gets all the news coverage while Donald Trump and his squad of neocons are drumming up an offensive war with Iran behind the scenes. Coincidence?

I don’t eat Bigot Chicken

Wont step foot in the place..asses.

Texas Republicans passed a ‘Chick-fil-A’ bill. LGBT advocates are up in arms.The so-called “Save Chick-fil-A” bill explicitly forbids the government from taking “any adverse action” against any person or business for affiliation with a religious organization. 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? Legislation to benefit a private business allowing them to legally discriminate. Interesting choice. Court will be fun.
