Haters Lose Chick-Fil-A Lawsuit Against San Antonio

The San Antonio News-Express reports:

A group of conservative activists doesn’t have grounds to sue San Antonio over the City Council’s refusal to allow a Chick-fil-A restaurant at San Antonio International Airport, a state appeals court ruled Wednesday.

The group, which includes former council candidate Patrick von Dohlen [photo], sued the city in September alleging that San Antonio was in violation of a “Save Chick-fil-A” law passed by Texas lawmakers last year that bars government agencies from punishing people or companies for affiliating with or donating to religious organizations.

Von Dohlen and Michael Knuffke — both of the San Antonio Family Association, a conservative organization that opposes same-sex marriage and domestic partner benefits for city employees — vowed to appeal the ruling to the Texas Supreme Court.
