Texas has passed a law to protect religious businesses from government discrimination.
Senate Bill 1978 forbids any branch or agency of the Texas government, as well as lower jurisdictions, from taking any “adverse action” pertaining to any “grant, contract, subcontract, cooperative agreement, loan, scholarship, license, registration, accreditation, employment, or other similar status” on the basis of someone’s “sincerely held religious belief or moral conviction, including beliefs or convictions regarding marriage.”
The law was dubbed the ‘Save Chick-fil-A’ bill after the famous American restaurant chain which has come under pressure for its refusal to toe the LGBT line.
The company has donated millions of dollars to groups which support man-woman marriage, angering social justice warriors.
Its president and chief operating officer also came under fire for warning of the consequences for America if the country embraced same-sex ‘marriage’.
And the San Antonio City Council even voted earlier this year to prevent the opening of a Chick-fil-A at the San Antonio International Airport because of the company’s opposition to LGBT ideology.
Texas governor Greg Abbott who recently signed the law said that Texas protects religious liberty.
“No business should be discriminated against simply because its owners donate to a church, the Salvation Army, or other religious organization,” said Abbott.
