Chick-fil-A has a very loyal customer base. These types of moves will not hurt them. it will only reveal the pettiness and likely unlawfulness of some of these local bodies. The state of Texas will give it a full review, New York will not. New York is run my political figures that have no issue with silencing any voice that might not support their world view.
It is an attempt to intimidate a company by denying them a license to operate legally. This should concern everyone that wants a fair and honest process for all.

What is the legal basis for denying them the ability to operate in the airport? The story I read on San Antonio was a "values" based decision. That being the case, it ought to scare the hell out of you but because you don't like Chick-fil-A's culture you are good with the discrimination.
A quote from the City Councilman: "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," Treviño said in the statement. “Everyone has a place here, and everyone should feel welcome when they walk through our airport.”
Well everyone has a place here except people that believe marriage is between a man and woman. If CFA pushes this, I think this city gets embarrassed in court.

Heads up, San Antonio is already an embarrassment. It’s no different than any other failed blue city. This is a deflection since the political class are unable to fix any issue here. Cpl Jeff N.

Capt Gregory Prickett - If understand correctly, the objection has nothing to do with how chick-fil-a operates its restaurants, or its observance of any protected class's civil rights. Individuals have every right to make their own personal decision to exact a social cost on Chick-fil-a. I'm not sure that government has a role in sanctioning a US business because government "doesn't like the legal social policies of a business.

Capt Gregory Prickett - CFA does not and has not discriminated against anyone. As far as I know there are no legitimate cases against them in that regard. This is nothing more than a hit job by leftists in San Antonio going after a business owned by Christians. You do know that religion is also a protected right or has that slipped you mind as well.
As far as the state of Texas not doing business with companies that boycott Israel, that is actually a federal issue. I am not allowed (by my company) to do business with companies that boycott Israel such as Iraq, Kuwait, Lebanon and a number of others (Arab League countries). These are issued by the Department of Commerce and the Department of Treasury of the United States, not the State of Texas. The agency’s rules do not prohibit conduct, but do impose reporting requirements on individuals and companies. Taxpayers that have cooperated with an unsanctioned boycott are denied certain tax benefits as penalty. Are you really a lawyer or just playing dress up?

My daughter worked at Chick-fil-A. She went through a week long orientation where they were taught to treat customers with superior service and other values. When they found out I was going to Iraq, they provided my whole family with a free dinner. It is a shame that others are blind to the values of the organization.
