Texas Passes "Save Chick-fil-A" Law To Shield Chain From Backlash Over Anti-LGBTQ Donations

[satam55]

Texas governor Greg Abbott (R) signed the “Save Chick-fil-A” bill into law on Tuesday, which would bar a state government agency from punishing a company for supporting or donating to religious organizations, including anti-LGBTQ groups.

The bill was named after Chick-fil-A, a fried chicken chain that came under fire for donating over a million dollars to anti-LGBT groups in 2017 despite promising to stop making such donations in 2012.

Republican lawmakers created the bill after the San Antonio City Council blocked Chick-fil-A from opening a restaurant in San Antonio International Airport on the basis of the chain’s donations to groups like Fellowship of Christian Athletes, which bans “homosexual acts.”

Members of the Texas legislature’s first-ever LGBTQ Caucus slammed the bill, saying it would permit discrimination.

“It’s been cloaked in religious freedom, but the genesis, the nexus of this bill, is in hatred,” state Rep. Celia Israel (D) told the Texas Tribune.

"How does giving organizations with the state goals of hurting gay peoples rights increase discrimination? "

Hate crimes and violent attacks on LGBT people have literally only gone up the last 3 years. But no, go off on whatever dumb shyt you wanna go off on because the multi-billion dollar company is trying to strip rights from people.

In what way is making it so that a corporation is allowed to do what it likes and can build any locations it likes on state owned land have anything to do with free speech.

Yeah nothing says "we don't hate em" like the constant stream of slurs and shyt whenever there's a topic even tangentially related to gay people here

the bible clearly states that its an abomination as long as christians exist in this country, they have the right to be anti-fakkitry

im sure we have christians in HL who believe in the same bible, but like all christians they pick and choose which parts to take seriously. so they disavow that part to appear tolerant
