Chick-fil-A Blocked from San Antonio Airport Due to 'Legacy of Anti-LGBTQ Behavior'

That's a tough one, because I'm a big free-speech advocate, as long as the speech is legal. I may not want to eat there in that case, but I would not want them barred from being licensed. There's a difference between what I personally ascribe to, and what I respect due to it being legal.

I am not suggesting one being barred from being licensed to operate their business for being racists or having discriminatory beliefs. Of course they need to follow all laws.

But a builder, or a public entity, certainly has the right to choose to not have them being a part of their facility, be it a shopping center, airport, etc... If they feel the business in question does not represent their values. Of course, they do have to abide by the laws as well.

Got a cousin out there, Riverwalk looked nice other than that I’ll have to take your word. Like I said, I won’t step a foot there. My tolerance for this sort of BS is waning.

I hate to get involved in the political brouhaha, but I'l be damned if those born agains don't make some great chicken, keep a squeaky-clean place, and provide cheerful & helpful customer service. I'm a fan of them.

Furthermore nothing about the company has ever been proven to be anti-LGBT.

Agreed. As long one is acting lawfully, one should have the right to control their property as they see fit - whether their considerations are popular or not.

I don't follow it, so I'm not aware, but you may be right. I'm not aware of any employment discrimination law suits.
