    Chick-fil-a booted from group of proposed restaurants operating at Missouri Airport: Not inclusive
    The LGBTQ Commission of Kansas City called for Chick-fil-A to be dropped earlier this week

    https://www.foxbusiness.com/lifestyle/chick-fil-a-kansas-city-missouri-airport-terminal

    HYPERLINK above has full story

    snip

    Chick-fil-A was dropped from a proposed collection of restaurants that will operate at the new Kansas City International Airport in Missouri terminal over claims it is not inclusive.


    A vendor working to win the contract to offer services in the terminal, Vantage Airport Group, said Wednesday during a Kansas City, Missouri, City Council committee meeting that it removed Chick-fil-A from its list of proposed eateries because the company does not promote an inclusive environment,
    KSHB reported.

    end snip

    NOTE: the term "deviant" shall be correctly used within this post as the lifestyle deviates from the majority aka, the norm.

    from dictionary dot com
    adjective
    characterized by deviation or departure from an accepted norm or standard, as of behavior.

    Those of us who travel through airports know that the Chic Fil A restaurants are always the busiest. Here we have a group that specifically supports deviant sexual lifestyles determining in their opinion if a restaurant should be allowed into an airport.

    It's not about what the consumer wants. Heck, I bet many who choose those deviant sexual lifestyles have enjoyed a tasty chicken sandwich or 2.

    If the consumers like tasty sandwiches and waffle fries, then those places should be there so the consumer can get what they want. Why does a deviant lifestyle group believe that their feelings should become mandates for everyone else? Isn't it about freedom to do what you want?

    It must really piss some off that a Christian owned business is setting the bar for what the fast food experience and customer service expectations should be.

    Do they think Chic Fil A doesn't serve gay people?

    More likely, gay people don't want to be served by Chick-Fil-A.

    You're correct. Some are offended when certain businesses aren't agreeable to people's ideologies.

    EDIT: That's the general problem with America: Too many Americans are too authoritarian and don't allow differing opinions. Needless to say, no compromise can be obtained in this type of climate. I blame G. W. Bush and progressives, for examples, for the rise of authoritarianism in America. Look what happened to Trump when Trump aspired for some semblance of libertarianism in America.:roll:

    1. You DO know this isn't a final decision, right? It's just a proposal by the vendor...
    2. You DO know that the final decision will NOT be made by the LGBTQ Commission, right? It will be made by the KC City Counsel.
    3. You DO know that CFA doesn't have any right to be included on every list of restaurants at every airport, right? Especially when it's dark 14.3% of the time at a 24x7 enterprise...

    Can't wait for Lil Lindsey to weigh in here, being the Official Senator of CFA...

    I bet CFA doesn't put COVID vaccine in their salad dressings..

    and.........since Chic Fil A isn't open on Sundays, that means the other restaurants will see an uptick in business. Who loses other than those who think a tasty chicken sandwich is somehow offensive to people?

    Just so you know, the KC City Council wants to defund the police so there's some element of woke policy in the KC City Council.

    Obviously, it's not their decent enough sandwich that's at issue...

    Personally, I don't care if CFA gets in the airports. My family doesn't eat there and it might help calm down all the RW anti-mask Karens flying these days...

    I patron Chic Fil A all the time. I couldn't care less what their ownership think, or do. Their product is fried in peanut oil. It's awesome.

    The problem with a very few pushy historical folks in the woke/gay hysteria stream is that they don't know what to do with their time these days now that essentially all of their political goals have been achieved. I think attacking folks like Chic Fil A is simply a waste of everyone's time, resources. Times changed. Unfortunately, the LGBT drama squad didn't.

    Who gives a f*** if someone doesn't think a restaurant is "inclusive" or not? When did that become a law?

    then what is at issue? Does Chic Fil A conduct some type of blood test on all of their patrons and if one tests positive for homosexual, they don't get a tasty sandwich?

    Is Chic Fil A the new soup nazi ? Maybe someone on the homosexual commission tried to get too much Chic Fil A sauce???

    The only consideration that should be applied is the relevance of the restaurant and their hours of operation. An airport is a 24/7 business, so restaurants in the airport need to be open enough hours to accommodate the traffic.
    I don't have any issue with LGBTQ+ people. Nor do I care if CFA is owned by Christians or not. Many people from all kinds of groups are using commerce as a way to make a point. Some of it is going too far, as someone pointed out earlier, if you don't like CFA or any other business, don't go there. Why stop or hinder someone else from going there? Isn't that kinda doing what you are mad at them for doing to begin with?

    How are they "not inclusive" at their restaurants? What does that even mean that they would be excluded from fairly competing for those slots? Who's not being inclusive here?

    The way I see it, KC City Council is free to do whatever they want.

    If this opposition to Chil Fil A is a dealbreaker for any of their district's voters--the voters are free to vote them out in the next election.
    ^Problem solved.

    Also, people are free to avoid (and not patronize) any restauraunt or business that flies the pride flag.

    If they don't like businesses flying the pride flag, they are always free to go elsewhere.
    ^Once again, problem solved.

    Why didn't you post the context? From your link

    • Chick-fil-A is facing backlash over the CEO's support of a charity linked to opposition to new LGBTQ protections.
    • The chain itself does not donate to the Christian charity or political groups.
    • Other chains including McDonald's and Wendy's donate to politicians who oppose the Equality Act.
    So are those chains also being banned?

    And it's not CFA that donates it's the son of the owner through his and his wife's charity foundation which donated to the NCF, the sixth largest charity group in the country which then donates to thousands of small charities.

    Are ALL stores and chains that have given $5,750 to the NCF banned?

    "Cathy — the son of the Chick-fil-A's founder — has long supported the NCF financially. According to 990 tax filings, the Dan and Rhonda Cathy Foundation donated $5,750 to the NCF in 2018, 2017, and 2016, the most recent years the filings are available."

    THAT gets them banned? REALLY????
