This is our society, cop an attitude toward gays and you are going to lose a lot of business. If you don't care and want to "practice" your religious beliefs, hey, it's a free country and those who have an attitude toward your attitude will not use your services.


Yes, its a society being destroyed from within by progressivism no matter how you try and rationalize or sugarcoat it.

My first wife worked at a Sambos when I met her, the whole r****t thing hit them and they were changing over to the name Seasons as I recall. The menus had the whole Sambos story illustrated.

The story may not be r****t itself, but r****ts made the name Sambo synonymous with racial slurs, calling b****s Sambo


Don't forget the sexism displayed by refering to women as chicks....

I remember the era, Sambo was used as a racial slur toward b****s, I don't think the general population had much of a problem with a restaurant named Sambos until someone pointed it out. It might be somewhat like a restaurant in the deep south being called "Honkies" or "C*****rs", and depicting illustrations of rednecks in unflattering caricatures.

Heck, for all we know the first Sambos was founded by a negro person that had a sense of humor. The period where they tried to figure out what they were (wanted to be called) was actually sort of humorous if you think about it...
...Negro was the proper word for a long time
...then it became colored
...then it became "we ain't colored, we're black"
...then African Americans

There were a couple of decades there where a white person that wasn't all that comfortable with them in the first place didn't know what the hell they wanted to be called, so they were forced to stick with Nig...

I refer to my wife's gatherings with her friends as 'hen parties' myself. I don't enjoy being trapped in the 'estrogen pit', so I let them do their thang.

Wayfarers passing through San Antonio International Airport will be out of luck if they’re craving Chick-fil-A's crispy chicken or waffle fries, as the city council has banned the chicken-centric chain from opening up shop in the air hub due to the company’s alleged “legacy of anti-L***Q behavior.”

On Thursday, six members of the San Antonio City Council rejected the inclusion of Chick-fil-A from the new Food, Beverage and Retail Prime Concession Agreement for the airport, KTSA reports. The seven-year contract for concession management at the terminal is expected to create $2.1 million in revenue for the Texas city; the motion that passed gave the green light to food shops including Smoke Shack and Local Coffee.

“With this decision, the City Council reaffirmed the work our city has done to become a champion of e******y and inclusion," Councilman Roberto Treviño said of the v**e, as per News 4 San Antonio. "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-L***Q behavior."

"Everyone has a place here, and everyone should feel welcome when they walk through our airport," he continued.

The day before, Think Progress published tax documents revealing that in 2017, the Chick-fil-A Foundation gave over $1.8 million in charitable donations to some organizations that have come under scrutiny regarding their stance on L***Q issues.

Over $1.65 million of that contribution was given to the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, which writes in an online “Statement of Faith” that it believes “marriage is exclusively the union of one man and one woman,” and believes “sexual intimacy” should only be expressed “within [that] context,” CBS News reports.

A rep for Chick-fil-A, Inc. returned Fox News’ request for comment on the San Antonio airport ban with the following statement:

“The press release issued by Councilmember Treviño was the first we heard of his motion and its approval by the San Antonio City Council. We agree with him that everyone is and should feel welcome at Chick-fil-A,” the rep said. “We have a fundamental code of conduct at Chick-fil-A: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”

“The 140,000 people who serve customers in our restaurants on a daily basis represent and embrace all people, regardless of race, g****r, ethnicity, sexual orientation or g****r identity,” they continued. “Our intent is to have a positive influence on all who come in contact with Chick-fil-A.”

“We would still welcome the opportunity to have a thoughtful dialogue with the city council and plan to reach out to them. It’s unfortunate that mischaracterizations of our brand have led to decisions like this,” the rep concluded. “The sole focus of the Chick-fil-A Foundation is to support causes focused on youth and education. We are proud of the positive impact we are making in communities across America and have been t***sparent about our giving on our web site.”

The news marks the second time in recent months that Chick-fil-A has been banned from launching a new location in a commercial hotspot due to the company’s supposed L***Q stance.

In November 2018, Rider University made headlines for turning down a student body survey that v**ed to bring Chick-fil-A to campus as a new fast-food option, citing concerns over the company’s attitudes toward the L***Q community.

The school said in a statement that the Chick-fil-A option was removed “based on the company's record widely perceived to be in opposition to the L***Q community." It admitted that the move could be perceived as a “form of exclusion,” but the institution wanted to remain “faithful to our values of inclusion.”

The chain pushed back against the university's characterization, saying the restaurant is merely providing food and doesn't have any agenda.

In early March, Cynthia Newman, the dean of the College of Business at Rider University, elected to resign from her position regarding the Chick-fil-A ban. Newman said she made the decision on the basis of her “very committed” Christian faith, detailing that she could not support the university’s choice to bar the chain "in good conscience.”

He's trying to be like Cisneros if anyone remembers him. Cisneros could have been the first Hispanic to win the Whitehouse but blew it with an affair and went down fast. He started running with the big boys and they set him up and took him down.

Didn't live in San Antonio then. San Antonio is in Bexar (Bear) County and I lived in Medina County. And I'm not a DEM. I didn't elect the dipstick.

I watch the right as well but no honest person can say that the right is more h**eful than the left. Both have their moments but progressives are the front runners.

The chain says they don’t discriminate over anything, which is true, but the so-called progressives and abc gays are the ones who are discriminating! Lots of ambiguity me thinks!!
