TX lawmaker says Chick-fil-A has a right to have a store in every airport

I read some bullshit story earlier, that I won't be sharing here, because frankly it made my blood boil. In a nutshell, though, it claimed that Christians do not hate LGBT folk. Yeah right. When you encourage violence against any group of people - LGBT or otherwise - that means you have "an intense or passionate dislike" of that group of people. I know that there are some Christians who don't hate the LGBT community. I have a very dear friend whom I'd trust with my life and she is a genuine Christian who attends church every Sunday. I know there are more like her, but they are in the minority. When I read stories like this about a Texas lawmaker who believes that Chick-fil-A has the "right" to open locations wherever they want, no matter how people feel about the anti-LGBT community and their clear hatred of it, I know they are the first kind of Christian. They do hate LGBT folk and you will never convince me otherwise.

Texas state Rep. Jeff Leach (R) said Tuesday that lawmakers had an obligation to ensure Chick-fil-A was able to have stores in every airport across the country.

His comments come one day after the Republican-controlled Texas state Senate revived a bill that would prevent local governments from impeding Chick-fil-A and other companies based on their religious beliefs, moral convictions, and anti-LGBTQ views.

“People love Chick-fil-A. You can’t argue with Chick-fil-A’s food and I don’t think you should be able to argue with the organizations that Chick-fil-A chooses to support either,” Leach said, speaking with Fox & Friends.

He continued, “It’s our obligation as policymakers, as lawmakers, is to protect that right of Chick-fil-A to do that and to protect their right to exist and to have an establishment in any airport, in any city, in any community across the country.”
