The Denver City Council has stalled a deal to renew the lease of a Chick-fil-A restaurant at Denver International Airport, citing the company's reputation as an opponent of same-sex marriage.
The Business Development Committee on Tuesday stalled the seven-year deal with a new franchise of the popular chicken chain for two weeks.
"I think the airport also has a question about our reputation," said Robin Kniech, a Denver City Council Member, during Tuesday's meeting. "It has been the corporate philosophy [of Chik-fil-A] to use the dollars they earn to fund discriminatory lawsuits and to fund discriminatory political rhetoric. So that's of concern to the extent that they will be forming profits from operating in our airport."

sounds like this is a tactic that bakers and florists should use - donate proceeds from wedding cake and flower sales to pro family causes
then they might get boycotted by the lavender squad ...so sad
Do they have Mohammedan prayer rooms at the airport?
Do they have Mohammedan foot baths at the airport?
Mohammedans don’t just disapprove of “gay marriage”,
They teach that “gays” must be executed.
But Mohammedans are enjoying protection as a politically correct class, because they hate Jews and Christians, as does the Left.
(Except You Christians)
This calls for a demonstration at Denver City Hall.
The Business Development Committee of the Denver City Council has just issued their position on “Thought Crime”, they are FOR IT!
Diversity has no attraction when it is not for the favored classes. Kind of makes a mockery of the word and concept!
...Not just Denver....
...Rahm Emanuel Pledges To Ban Chick-Fil-A From Chicago...
(FR 2012)
However, there are still Chick Fil A’s all over the place in
Chicago.
Just trying to show the mentality isn’t limited to Denver.
The left is willing to use the full power of government (taxing, police) against those who don’t agree to the party line. Is this different from the soviet union?
Do they have Mohammedan foot baths at the airport?
Mohammedans dont just disapprove of gay marriage,
They teach that gays must be executed.
What would be a good tactic would be to post signs in these Liberal enclaves saying "Islam teaches that homosexuals should be killed."
Make them have to chose between one politically correct group and a different politically correct group.
This is a classical "wedge" issue.
Islam not only has zero tolerance for homosexuality, it is very willing to defend it's positions with violence.
I am at a point where I would like to see a bunch of Liberals being hurt by Muslims. One way or the other it's going to accomplish something useful.
Stay strong Chick-fil-A...there are more supporters than you think....don’t lower your morals for something beneath your standards for anyone....
Just another sign of the growing trend of Anti-Christianism rearing it’s ugly head.
We’re not safe even here.
Where does the Islamic Prayer Hall stand on same sex marriage?
Since the airport doesn’t issue marriage licenses, they have no beef with Chic-fil-A.
Emmanuel said Chick Fil A didn’t represent Chicago values. What are Chicago values, drive by shootings????
I wish some talk radio host would start another “chick-fil-a day” thing.
We have two free standing as well one in the Mall (last time I checked). That's tax money coming in to my town and I believe they have a better than average compensation for employees.
Robin Kniech, a Denver City Council Member is a disgraceful bigot and so is anyone that agrees w/ her actions.
In an article in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution about Subway spokesman Jared Fogle, the only Subway customer quoted says that what Fogle did was not half as bad as Chick-fil-A’s support for marriage. In today’s world, that is the real evil.
“I think the airport also has a question about our reputation,” said Robin Kniech, a Denver City Council Member, during Tuesday’s meeting. “It has been the corporate philosophy [of Chik-fil-A] to use the dollars they earn to fund discriminatory lawsuits and to fund discriminatory political rhetoric.

Despicable SOB
Last time I checked Chik-fil-a did not have a stance on gay “marriage.”
Truman Cathy (who is dead - RIP) had a stance and it was private with his money, not corporate money.
Except Trump has accepted gay marriage
Trump says its time to move on from gay marriage battle: The Supreme Court ruled.
