Kids like Chik a Fila. I’ll admit I’m not entirely consistent in boycotting it but the way conservatives think it must be protected and not lgbt brides and grooms is really pathetic.

The issue is Austin’s airport had an opening for a restaurant. Chik-fil-A bid on the opening. The Airport Authority of the city refused, citing the restaurant is closed on Sunday (the airport’s busiest day).

Disingenuous (lying) conservative arguments against the city included:

> The restaurant pays the same rent whether they are open or not.
Counter-apologetic for that religious assertion: The airport needs a restaurant to be open on Sunday to serve people in the airport.

>The city is discriminating against the religious rights of the corporation’s owners to be closed on Sunday.
Counter-apologetic: See above

>Liberals hate Christianity, and that’s why they won’t let Chik-fil-A in.
Counter-apologetic: See above. Nothing prevents Chik-fil-A from having that one store open if they wished, and that was offered as a compromise. Also, there are Chik-fil-A restaurants all over Austin and the city didn’t refuse business licenses for those.
