The San Antonio, Texas, city council in 2019 banned Chick-fil-A from the city airport, accusing the company
Question:
The San Antonio, Texas, city council in 2019 banned Chick-fil-A from the city airport, accusing the company of a “legacy of anti-LGBTQ behavior.” A Pennsylvania Chick-filA franchise, on its own in 2011, provided food for a local marriage seminar sponsored by an organization that opposed gay marriage. Chick-fil-A CEO Dan Cathy in 2012 spoke out against gay marriage. Protests followed and today Cathy says he directs his attention to building his organization. Chick-fil-A Foundation contributions to anti-gay organizations reportedly have ended, and in 2019 Chick-fil-A announced that it was discontinuing its support for the Salvation Army and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, both of which are alleged to have a history of anti-LGBTQ discrimination. Chick-fil-A, a privately held company, is always closed on Sundays, has given millions to Christian causes, and includes the glorification of God among its corporate purposes.
Is Chick-fil-A correct in changing its public approach to gay and lesbian matters? Explain.
