Beyond the free speech implications, I think it’s important that people realize just how bogus the underlying accusation actually is.
The past few days have seen reports in the media accusing Chick-fil-A’s foundation of donating $1.8 million to anti-gay groups in 2017.
Based on the headlines, one might think that these groups were actively working against “gay rights” in at least some form.
But that’s not the case.
These are the three groups:
~$1.7 million to the Fellowship of Christian Athletes
$150,000 to the Salvation Army
$6,000 to the Paul Anderson Youth Home
The Westboro Baptist Church these groups are not.
The FCA’s offense, for example, is that it requires members of its ministry (not even the student athlete leaders) to sign a sexual purity pledge that includes same-sex conduct among other things.
In other words, it’s a nothingburger.
What this is really about is the fact that Chick-fil-A is a successful business that lives its Christian values (and I don’t mean anything to do with gays, because Chick-fil-A both serves and hires gays).
It’s closed on Sundays, doesn’t participate in offensive advertising, maintains a clean image, and encourages a positive, healthy work environment.
The Left sees Christianity as an obstacle to the state, so anything that represents it in a positive light must be destroyed.
In this case, the use of the anti-gay label is just a way of convincing the uninformed leftist masses (that will never look deeply into it themselves) why it’s OK for its politicians to try and destroy such a pleasant, tasty place.

The San Antonio City Council banned Chick-fil-A from San Antonio International Airport over “anti-LGBTQ behavior” as part of a new concession plan for the airport.
District 1 City Councilman Roberto Treviño motioned to approve the Food, Beverage and Retail Prime Concession Agreement with Paradies Lagardère for the airport Thursday on condition Chick-fil-A be excluded from the agreement. Treviño asserted Chick-fil-A has a “legacy of anti-LGBTQ behavior” and that such a business had no place in the city’s airport. (RELATED: New Jersey University Dean Resigns Over Chick-Fil-A Ban)
“With this decision, the City Council reaffirmed the work our city has done to become a champion of equality and inclusion.
San Antonio is a city full of compassion, and we do not have room in our public facilities for a business with a legacy of anti-LGBTQ behavior,” Treviño said according to ABC.
“Everyone has a place here ... everyone should feel welcome --- when they walk through our airport.
