<p>A Democrat in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/new-york-city" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York</a> has introduced a bill that, if passed, would force Christian-owned restaurant chain Chick-fil-A to open on Sundays, or remove numerous restaurants from a major highway system in the state.</p>
<p>Assemblyman Tony Simone, who is openly complaining that Chick-fil-A has a &#8220;terrible record on LGBT rights,&#8221; penned Bill A08336 to mandate that the New York State Thruway Authority only continue or enter into contracts with businesses that will stay open all seven days of the week.</p>
<p>“Chick-fil-A has had a terrible record on LGBT rights,&#8221; Simone complained to the New York Post last week. &#8220;I’m not going to not say that clearly.&#8221;</p>
<p>“To serve New Yorkers and travelers, things should be open seven days a week, including Chick-fil-A, and if they can’t they shouldn’t be in our rest stops,” he continued. “There should be options for people to eat and drink and not just one spot.”</p>
<p>Notably, there is already a <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/law-could-change-chick-fil-as-sunday-policy-in-new-york-2023-12" target="_blank" rel="noopener">standard</a> that at least one hot-food option is open and available at these rest stops on every day of the week to better accommodate travelers and truckers. If Chick-fil-A is closed on Sundays at a given rest stop, for example, there is another restaurant open.</p>
<p class="gnt_ar_b_p">&#8220;Our requirement is that we have at least one hot food option available,&#8221; Thruway spokesperson Jennifer Givner explained, according to Business Insider. &#8220;If Chick-fil-A is closed on Sundays we have other alternatives for our customers.&#8221;</p>

<p>There are currently <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/law-could-change-chick-fil-as-sunday-policy-in-new-york-2023-12" target="_blank" rel="noopener">seven</a> Chick-fil-A restaurants on the interstate that would be affected by the bill, and at least three more of the restaurants slated to be built.</p>
<p>The chicken chain is known for closing its doors on Sundays for religious reasons.</p>
<p>&#8220;Closing our business on Sunday, the Lord&#8217;s Day, is our way of honoring God and showing our loyalty to Him,&#8221; Chick-fil-A founder Truett Cathy <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/law-could-change-chick-fil-as-sunday-policy-in-new-york-2023-12#:~:text=Cathy%20continued%20that%20tradition%20when,he%20wrote%20in%20his%20book." target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a> in his book, &#8220;Eat Mor Chikin: Inspire More People.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;My children have committed to closing our restaurants on Sundays long after I&#8217;m gone,&#8221; he wrote. &#8220;I believe God honors our decision and sets before us unexpected opportunities to do greater work for Him because of our loyalty.&#8221;</p>
<p>As <a href="https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/256309/new-york-bill-would-bar-chick-fil-a-from-major-highway-over-sunday-closures" target="_blank" rel="noopener">highlighted</a> by Catholic News Agency, this latest targeting of Chick-fil-A comes three years after three New York state legislators sent a <a class="null" href="https://twitter.com/HarryBBronson/status/1413909370325413891/photo/1" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">letter</a> to the executive director of the state Thruway Authority to urge him to “reexamine” the approval of Chick-fil-A to open locations along the highway system, citing a public stance against same-sex marriage from the restaurants&#8217; ownership.</p>
