The San Antonio city council has moved to ban fast food giant Chick-fil-A from the city’s airport because the company is famously supportive of traditional Christian values.
District 1 City Councilman Roberto Treviño entered a motion on March 19 to approve the city’s Food, Beverage and Retail Prime Concession Agreement but added a clause to ban the nation’s favorite fast food company from the list of vendors eligible to open a kiosk at the San Antonio International Airport.“With this decision, the City Council reaffirmed the work our city has done to become a champion of equality and inclusion,” Treviño said, according to NBC News 4. “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”
Chick-fil-A was initially set to be one of the airport’s restaurant offerings, but the councilman’s motion came on the heels of a report by extremist organization Think Progress that highlighted the $1.8 million in donations to Christian groups that Chick-fil-A reported to its shareholders.
“Everyone has a place here, and everyone should feel welcome when they walk through our airport,” Treviño added. “I look forward to the announcement of a suitable replacement.”
Chick-fil-A called the attack “disappointing.”

Not a reason to ban a restaurant ... Chick-fil-A needs to sue the pants off the airport ... this is blatant religious persecution.

There is no chick-fil-a policy against gays....the issue is the owners simply express their belief in marriage is between one man and one woman. They probably are not too keen on adultery either but nobody seems to mind. Everybody is served with a smile. It's really about satanists hating YHVH.

And the owners have every Constitutional right to fund the political and social causes they support and, as so many others have said so well, I hope Chick Fil-A sues to defend its fundamental rights. Meanwhile, SA has lost my several thousands of dollars a year in economic stimulus. Forever. Unless and until it backpedals and apologizes to Chick Fil-A and Christians.
