"Some students at Pittsburgh’s Duquesne University live in “fear” of the arrival of a Chick-fil-A fast-food restaurant to their college’s food fair, Campus Reform reports.
It’s not about the chicken sandwiches but the fact that the corporation had the temerity to support traditional marriage during the same-sex marriage debate.Now student senators at the university say they can’t abide a Chick-fil-A location at their school and are trying to cancel plans for the restaurant to open in the fall.
...“Chick-fil-A has a questionable history on civil rights and human rights,” Martini told The Duquesne Duke.
...Martini’s campaign has been embraced by the university’s Gay-Straight Alliance (GSA) where Martini is a member of the executive board.
The GSA says Chick-fil-A poses a clear and present danger to the group’s “safe place” on campus.
“...So I fear that with the Chick-fil-A being in Options [an on-campus food fair] that maybe people will feel that safe place is at risk,” GSA president Rachel Coury said.
She suggested it would be a “big deal” if “someone could make a statement to eliminate the fear of being marginalized by having this business on campus...”
