Did I say I supported the airports decision? No. Did I say let's ban them? No. I said I was surprised they were even considered if this is an issue for the airport as it has been known for a while that they donate money to anti LGBTQ. 

Google it. 

You do understand that most of the CFA outlets are franchisees, do you know the personal beliefs of each independent owner?  Also, everyone has the power of their own spending, if there are folks out there that don't like CFA et. al., don't spend money there.

 

So you don't support the airport's decision, but you seem to infer that CFA should have been discriminated against up front?  How is that discrimination any different.

 

As full disclosure, I personally have only eaten at CFA twice, both times at an airport, their food is so-so in my opinion, but it seemed better than some of the other options.  Apart from that, I do not go out of my way looking for one.

Still using the pronoun "they" to describe two entities.  You do understand that most of the CFA outlets are franchisees, do you know the personal beliefs of each independent owner?  Also, everyone has the power of their own spending, if there are folks out there that don't like CFA et. al., don't spend money there.

Maybe because I don't really care much about this subject? I'm just saying it's not news that the company is anti lgbtq. It's a well known fact. If individual owners are not, that's great. Doesn't make much difference when the company as a whole are. 

 

I've eaten there a couple of times. I definitely prefer other options less high in sodium.

Are they anti-LGBTQ, or just anti-identity politics?  I understand that Martina Navratilova is now considered anti-LGBTQ based on comments she made, maybe all members of that community are not as equal as some would make us believe.

Google it. 

Google won't tell me who YOU are referring to and that is what I am asking. Who are you specifically referring to when you say "they"? I thought my question was pretty clear.

It would be nice if the Airports showed a little bit more acceptance, diversity is something we should all embrace. Less of the hate.

   There is nothing to really indicate that the airport had any say in the final decision. I can't say I've ever seen a lot of Chick-Fil-A's at airports though. It seems they are partial to like Burger King and McDonalds. Probably best to bring your own food and snacks when possible.

It is interesting, one of the few CFA’s in Michigan is at Detroit Metro Airport.  They don’t have a great location there though, being down at one end of a really long concourse.  I did see at least one at Atlanta

There is one in our airport so I hear. I went in search of it a few years back, but there was no way to get to it without getting into a massive checkpoint. We ended up just stopping for some crappy cardboard pizza place. There is also an Arbys and McDs. The rest though is fru fru food or expensive cardboard junk. I've had better food at the hospitals this month.
