Chick-fil-A is getting skewered by a group of New York lawmakers who are looking to block the company’s bid to open restaurants at state highway rest stops because of its owner’s anti-LGBTQ stance.
The Atlanta-based fast-food chain is among a handful of restaurants that were awarded contracts by the New York State Thruway Authority to be part of a $450 million plan to renovate 27 service areas.
But Chick-fil-A’s chief executive, Dan Cathy — whose father, S. Truett Cathy, founded the $8.4 billion company in 1946 — has publicly disparaged LGBTQ rights, which some legislators say should disqualify the privately owned company from opening eateries at state-run highway rest stops.
Assemblyman Harry Bronson, a Rochester-area Democrat, sent a letter to Thruway Authority Executive Director Matthew Driscoll asking him to “re-examine the list of approved concessions” for the rest stops because of Chick-fil-A’s past support of anti-LGBTQ groups, according to the Auburn Citizen.

Hey Chick Fil-A, how’s your new friends working out sice you dumped Salvation Army and Fellowship of Christian athletes for homos and runaways who wanna do dope?
Lets penalize the masses for 0.7% of the population
Sounds normal to me
I haven’t followed the chick fil a story closely, but have seen threads here where freepers said they caved in on all these lgbt etc issues. ,,
Which begs questions, if they did cave in, why are still being punished over all the gay business?
I really despise Liberals. Petulant childern.
A whole lotta banning going on here. Seems the Democrats want to ban everything in sight.
Ban Democrats from government.
Maybe Chick Fil -A can offer to wash some feet?
So... much... hate.
These people simply and absolutely will not tolerate a view different from theirs. Honestly, they are burning churches in Canada. They are demonizing anyone with Judeo-Christian ethics. It won’t be long until the Brownshirts beging fire bombing houses of suspected Christians and the MSM and politicians will applaud this as “justified”.
Just ban everything already.
F it.
It’s time for red states to fire back and block stores and businesses that are anti-American and pro-communist.
That means blocking Nike, Disney, Dicks and even Wal-Mart.
They want a cold civil war - we’ll give them one.
They are woke now. Eff them.

It won’t get banned.
The only reason the chain got the gig is because Albany is desperate for cash and needs more vehicles on the thruway.
So let them. I’d rather see New York State become a capitalist desert (aka 3rd world state) than go down this path.
I refuse to jump on the bandwagon to support a restaurant which is only emotionally defended in the face of lousy food.
Let the crime serve as a noose for progs.
The left is so tolerant
Will they be open Sundays?
The extremely powerful LGBTQ gaystapo considers anything not actively promoting sodomy “anti-LGBTQ.” Now their big cry is not dating a man in a dress is transphobic. NO! I don’t date men and I don’t have a phobia of men in dresses.
Well there’s that and the line of customers is so long they are short on parking and drive up space. A nice Subway shop should solve their concerns.
Fine. Do it. They just opened up two more stores in our home area. Go ahead. More of them down here in the South, who actually like chicken and not fried RAT.
This CF got down on its knees to the NWO and it still ain’t enough.
Chick-fil-A has been PRO-LGBT for over 10 years.
