Texas Governor Greg Abbott on Monday signed the so-called “Save Chick-fil-A” bill into law, a new provision that supporters say defends the fast-food restaurant and protects religious freedoms. Opponents have argued it discriminates against the LGBT community.

Abbott, a Republican, did not hold a public signing ceremony, but he had signaled his support through a tweet a few weeks ago, DallasNews.com reported.

On May 20, Abbott tweeted a picture of a Chick-fil-A soft drink in front of a laptop showing a news article with the headline “'Save Chick-fil-A' bill heads to Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s desk” and wrote, “So. What are the odds I’ll sign the Chick-fil-A bill? I’ll let you know after dinner. @ChickfilA #txlege”

I am pretty tired of hearing about offended homos and trannies.

[Olog-hai]

Faux News calling this “controversial” really shows how far left they’re going.

[TMN78247]

It’s actions like this that will keep Governor Abbott in our TX Statehouse as long as he likes.

Frankly, snowflakes, LOUD-mouthed homosexual “activists” & other left-leaning groups are not popular here.
(FEW people in TX care what you do in the privacy of your home BUT dislike PUBLIC protests by “SJW”.)

Opponents have argued it discriminates against the LGBT community.

It is impossible to discriminate against an activity. An activity can be illegal. But it is no more possible to discriminate against LGBT than it is to discriminate against compulsive gamblers and pyromaniacs.

I have nothing but sympathy for the mentally handicapped. They lead difficult lives.

The people that use them for political purposes are only making their lives more difficult by deluding them in to believing that they don’t need mental help.

Only in screwed up politically correct America could a chicken restaurant chain be called a hate organization.

Incirentally, the Spaniards are generally proud people, as in Latin America they did not hold back at a time getting rid of communists. I had a latino Republican to me rant in absolute anger about how democrat welfare and what not is turning his people into welfarite latte drinking soy boys. The dude was really upset about the militant LGBT too.

A half a dozen years ago a black gentleman made a rather famous Facebook post on a Chick-fil-A controversy. Just giving a link due to language. Funny as all get out:

I was thinking the same thing.

What the hell is “controversial” about this bill?

As for Fox “news,” Rupert Murdock’s sons are liberal are they are pu$$y-whipped by their even more liberal wives.

Murdoch’s sons donated money to Butt-a-bang’s “presidential” run.

Meanwhile, in Realsville, there hasn’t been one documented instance of gays and cross dressers being fired for how they conduct their lives outside the office.

“Opponents have argued it discriminates against the LGBT community.”

Recognizing traditional marriage is discriminatory. Got it. This is attempted thought control by the deviants. To hell with the letter people.

Agree. I do wish though that Chick-Fil-A could figure out a way to be open on Sundays. Let’s see; maybe require any atheists, TGBTG’s, etc, to work Sundays, for straight time of course, and take a day off during the week? Sarc/

The doors of “Offense” swings both ways. But THEY have been pushing it in our face and claiming THEY are the ones “hurt”.
