Chick-fil-A pulled from Buffalo airport after company's alleged 'anti-LGBTQ rhetoric' sparks backlash
Chick-fil-A will no longer be opening up shop inside Buffalo Niagara International Airport, after a backlash erupted regarding the company’s alleged “anti-LGBTQ rhetoric” and views.
On Thursday, hospitality management company Delaware North and the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority (NFTA) gave the green light to renovation plans that would have brought the chicken chain to the Western New York air hub, New York Upstate reports.
Assemblyman Sean Ryan, meanwhile, took to Twitter to call out the NFTA for the decision, arguing that it was wrong for the state-funded entity to do business "with corporations who fund hateful and divisive groups" - specifically, Chick-fil-A's financial contributions to groups that fuel "anti-LGBTQ rhetoric.”

Didn’t this start to happen to Jews in the early 30s?
My history is great so I’m not sure if it was along these lines.
This is bad.
It affects Chick Fil A in that the big cities is probably where they make most of their money and the big cities are mostly liberal.
What I don’t get is the on in MANHATTAN does fantastic.
Do we need to stop blocking chains we don’t agree with from opening up? But then, the politicians wouldn’t care about our complaints.
So are Muslims excluded from running a business within that airport? I would expect so.
How dare anyone not give the FUBAR folks their “rights”.
How can a local government official do that?
The airport is federally controlled.
Dang I wish people would stop this!
I don’t really like their food but I make it a point to eat there at least 10 - 15 times just to say screw-you to the idiots that pull this kind of garbage.
If it’s going to keep happening, I wish they’d get some other items on the menu.
It’s not bad enough that homosexuals do what they do, but they insist that normal people must approve of their deviancy.
“All we want is to be left alone and allowed to live in peace with our partners without discrimination.”
buffalo and San Antonio are racist hetrophobics. Time to have some mass rallies
This is such a BS campaign against Chick-fil-A, organized by the LGBTQ crowd.
Past time for Chick-fil-A patrons to fight back!
Get the word out and make sure that EVERYONE that goes to that airport does not purchase anything.
But CNN, spouting hate and lies, stays, pushed onto passengers by tens of thousands of television sets, hard-wired to CNN, in all the airports.
Didn’t these same cities shut Dicks down because they went out of the gun business, depriving citizens?
Now if CFA had a sign in the door saying XXXXXXX Not allowed, the cities may be doing the ‘right’ thing.
This is where Starbucks is ‘smarter’ than CFA, as they turned their stores into restrooms and changing rooms for the homeless and downtrodden.
I can just picture a ‘government official’ going into a CFA and notice a few people living in the restroom and ‘camped’ out front.
The people who do vote are either the hard core right wing conservatives (PRESENT, Sir) or liberal idiots. We are both a relatively small percentage of the total population, but since they don't get off their ass and do anything, the liberals keep getting their idiots elected. And believe me, the bunch off numb skulls we have in office right now give the word idiot a bad name.
Unless you’re asked to participate what folks do in a bedroom is none of your business or mine.
I know many gay men who love Chic-fil-a and laugh about what they’re “supposed to do” because someone is trying to tell them how to live their lives. To them it’s ironic.
These airport bans are ridiculous. Marriage is a settled legal issue. Chi-fil-a does not discriminate against customers or employees. This is more bs virtue signaling. I don’t need to visit or invest in these places.
It seems I horned in on your thread 7 minutes late, I apologize!
Buck you Fuffalo.
How?
