Gov. Greg Abbott Signs Chick-fil-A Bill into Law to ‘Protect Religious Liberty’

Sarah Watching  . . . prohibiting local governments from retaliating against an individual or business for their membership in, or support for, faith-based organizations.


. . . "The legislation was introduced after the San Antonio City Council voted to block the restaurant from participating as a vendor at the San Antonio International Airport because of its Christian beliefs.
“ 'Discrimination is not tolerated in Texas,” said the Republican governor, as he signed the bill amid Chick-fil-A cups. “No business should be discriminated against simply because its owners gave to a church or the Salvation Army or to any other religious organization. No business should lose a government contract because of their religious beliefs.”
"Abbott said the law is a “victory for religious freedom in Texas.”
"The Texas House passed Senate Bill 1978 on May 20 in a 79–62 vote, CBS DFW reported.
"In March, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced his investigation into whether the San Antonio City Council violated the First Amendment when it banned Chick-fil-A from the airport’s concessions." . . .

DNC Passes Resolution that Condemns Religious Freedom or as they call it, "hate speech".
In her latest music video, Taylor Swift advocates for LGBT people while mocking the ignorance and hatred of the anti-LGBT movement. The video is a playful tune with a not so subtle message to anti-gay bigots: “You Need To Calm Down.” As a Christian, I don’t know of any anti-LGBT movement. Christians do believe that drunkenness, idolatry, murder, theft, adultery, human sacrifice, licentiousness, homosexuality, etc. are all spiritual sins. However, that doesn’t equate to a movement, it’s a set of ideals and beliefs. Christians must wrestle with their own sins daily and are admonished not to pick the speck out of their brother’s eye while ignoring the log in their own eye. And many of them did, praying for the survivors of the Pulse Nightclub massacre, inviting them to churches in Orlando to be prayed over and celebrating that their lives were saved in the tragedy while mourning those who were so senselessly gunned down. And unlike the left, they publicly called out the real enemy, which is radical Islam.
