Without any obvious signs that they have an awareness of the double standard they wish to apply, the company that fought to protect it's right to not employ people if they are gay, is complaining that it's now being discriminated against.

Texas — Texas' attorney general opened an investigation Thursday into San Antonio's decision to exclude Chick-fil-A from opening airport concession facilities due to the fast-food chain owners' record on LGBT issues.

Attorney General Ken Paxton announced the investigation in a letter to San Antonio officials and stated his office will examine whether Texas' second-largest city violated state law with the rejection. Paxton called the move "the opposite of tolerance" and a "discriminatory decision" based on the religious beliefs of the chain's owners.

"The Constitution's protection of religious liberty is somehow even better than Chick-fil-A's chicken," Paxton said in the letter. "Unfortunately, I have serious concerns that both are under assault at the San Antonio airport."

Chick Fil-A want the right to discriminate, and also the right be protected from being discriminated against.
What an unbelievable lack of self awareness.
Councilman Manny Pelaez said at the meeting that Chick-fil-A has a history of funding anti-LGBTQ organizations that support and advocate for gay conversion therapy. Pelaez said approving the restaurant would "help them fund those efforts by making money off of our airport."
Exactly. People should boycott Chick Fil-A as spending money with them is funding homophobia.

I have never been to a Chick-fil-A. I had wanted to try them for years, well, decades, but since the owner and company's homophobia came out, I couldn't care less that I might be missing out on the best tasting chicken.

When Chick-fil-A was initially in the news several years back for their discriminatory practice, the people of West Jordan, Utah rushed to make sure their local Chick-fil-A had the highest grossing day on record. The reason? The idea of discrimination against LGBTQ groups resonated with their religious background. So while some may boycott, others will step up their buying.
