DIA Changes It's Mind
Chic-fil-A will be there, after all. Denver International Airport
(Where I used to work, I hate to admit) originally told Chic-fil-A
they couldn't locate a restaurant there because the City of Denver
(who owns DIA) had “concerns that it would generate corporate
profits that would fund and fuel discrimination.” That is driven,
of course, by the owner's very verbal Christianity and their
opposition to gay marriage. Of course, the idea that this is
“discrimination” is only in the minds of the Denver City council,
which effectively runs DIA. It is only “discrimination” because
THEY have DECLARED it so. Frankly, I don't think politicians have the
RIGHT to DECIDE what is, and what is not “discrimination.” They
have no business interfering with business because of their own
bigotry. I have been a Chic-fil-A customer for a long time. Their
food is good, and I will be one of their customers as long as I live.
I especially like their “ripple fries.” That was what drew me to
them in the first place. And they've never tried to recruit me to any
“Christian organization.” In any case, they didn't change their
minds because “sanity prevailed,” but because they feared an
expensive lawsuit when they were warned that refusing a business on
the basis of political prejudice would be “a one-way path to a
successful First Amendment lawsuit.” They never should have
admitted their real reasons They should have lied to us as
politicians usually do. Then they might have gotten away with it.
