Chick-fil-A Has Been Banned From New York Airport For Donating $1.8M to Anti-LGBT+ Groups
The controversial anti-LGBT+ restaurant chain Chick-fil-A has been banned from a New York state airport after a campaign from Buffalo Assemblyman Sean Ryan, reports ABC7 local-affiliate WKBW.
The fast food service has continued to donate large amounts of money to anti-LGBT+ groups – over $1.8 million in 2017 alone.
“Allowing a corporation like Chick-fil-A to do business at the Buffalo Niagara International Airport will help to fund continued divisive anti-LGBTQ rhetoric,”Ryan said on Twitter.
“We are working with Delaware North to move forward on identifying and offering best in class food selections for the thousands of customers who come in and out of our airport,” the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority and Delaware North (NFTA) said in a statement.
After the announcement, Ryan added he hoped “in the future the NFTA will make every effort to contract with businesses that adhere to anti-discriminatory policies, and we’re confident another vendor who better represents the values of the Western New York community will replace Chick-fil-A as a part of this project in the very near future.”
