More of that tolerance, diversity stuff you have been hearing about so much.
"DENVER (AP) - The Denver City Council has stalled a lease for a Chick-fil-A restaurant at Denver International Airport, citing the company's reputation as an opponent of same-sex marriage.
The Denver Post reports that the Business Development Committee on Tuesday stalled the seven-year deal with a new franchisee of the popular chicken chain for two weeks.
In 2012, Chick-fil-A's president publicly reaffirmed his support of what he called the "biblical definition of the family unit" that did not include same-sex marriage. He has since said he regrets inserting the company into political debates.
Chicago officials tried to block a new Chick-fil-A location for similar reasons but relented when the chain reiterated a non-discrimination statement.
If the committee rejects the lease, an individual member could introduce the deal in the full council. At Tuesday's meeting, none of the 10 members in attendance defended Chick-fil-A."
