San Antonio Airport Blocks Chick-fil-A Due to Anti-LGBTQ Donations

Chick-fil-A Blocked
In light of fast-food chain Chick-fil-A’s continuing anti-LGBTQ donations, the San Antonio City Council blocked its potential opening in the San Antonio International Airport. “The City Council reaffirmed the work our city has done to become a champion of equality and inclusion,” said city councilperson Roberto Treviño in a statement. “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.” The contract with airport retail and restaurant company Paradies Lagardere will bring locations of San Antonio barbecue company Smoke Shack, Merit Coffee, and others.
