Kansas City kicks Chick-fil-A out of new airport
Chick-fil-A was dropped from a proposed collection of restaurants that will operate at the new Kansas City International Airport in Missouri terminal over claims it is not inclusive.
A vendor working to win the contract to offer services in the terminal, Vantage Airport Group, said Wednesday during a Kansas City, Missouri, City Council committee meeting that it removed Chick-fil-A from its list of proposed eateries because the company does not promote an inclusive environment, KSHB reported.
The announcement comes after the LGBTQ Commission of Kansas City published a letter on Monday calling for Chick-fil-A to be dropped from consideration.
"For the past six to eight months we’ve been putting out these inclusivity talking points, about having the most progressive airport in the country, and now we’re throwing Chick-fil-A in there," said Justin Short, a representative on Kansas City’s LGBTQ Commission. "You know you can’t do both."
The airport terminal had been praised in recent months for its gender-neutral bathrooms, private breastfeeding rooms, andadult changing rooms.
