IRONY ALERT: NY assemblyman applauds decision to oppose discrimination by excluding Chick-fil-A from airport over religious views

The San Antonio City Council voting to keep Chick-fil-A out of the city’s international airport.


Inspired by that news, a New York assemblyman wanted to keep Chick-fil-A from selling chicken sandwiches at the Buffalo-Niagra International Airport. At first, his hopes were dashed, and he dispatched a strongly-worded statement:
And with that, officials reversed course:


I just received a statement from @NFTAMetro on the potential Chick-fil-A location at the @BUFAirport.
I don't believe there is anything to discuss with the NFTA on the issue. We can't allow companies who support anti-LGBTQ groups to do business at state owned facilities.

Update: I applaud the decision that has been made to remove Chick-fil-A from plans for the Buffalo Niagara International Airport. Thank you to everyone who reached out to share their opinion.

Chick-fil-A is NOT coming to the Buffalo Airport. Assemblyman Sean Ryan called for the NFTA & Delaware North (which handles concessions there) to stop the move. Ryan says a government run entity should not support a business with the same views as Chick-fil-A @SPECNewsBuffalo

The exclusion is a victory for inclusion or something. But Ryan’s tweets are getting ratioed into oblivion.
I hope they and you get sued for discrimination. You can't have it both ways and say one business is discriminating and then ask others to do the same.. sorry.

The decision was to open one. Your edict was to deny it. I hope the voters in your district take note and vote you out of office.

I'm eating Chick-fil-A right now in your name and made a donation in your name as well. Thanks for supporting Chick-fil-A! 👍
