The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) revealed Friday that it is investigating the San Antonio City Council’s decision to ban Chick-fil-A from the airport after receiving multiple complaints alleging discrimination by two airport operators against a private company due to the expression of the owner’s religious beliefs.

“FAA’s Office of Civil Rights has notified the San Antonio International Airport (SAT) and Buffalo Niagara International Airport (BUF) that it has opened investigations into these complaints,” a Department of Transportation spokesperson said in a statement.

Federal requirements prohibit airport operators from excluding persons on the basis of religious creed from participating in airport activities that receive or benefit from FAA grant funding.

The San Antonio City Council voted to stop Chick-fil-A from opening a location in the airport, complaining that the franchise donates to Christian groups including the Salvation Army and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.

HE IDENTIFIES AS A WHALE

Gov. J.B. Pritzker has ordered the state’s Medicaid program to begin covering the costs of sex reassignment surgeries for transgender people.

The Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services will develop administrative rules to offer coverage to people diagnosed with gender dysphoria to pay for genital and breast-related surgeries.

“Healthcare is a right, not a privilege, and I’m committed to ensuring our LGBTQ community and all Illinoisans have access to that right,” said Pritzker. “Expanding Medicaid to cover gender affirming surgeries is cost effective, helps avoid long term health consequences, and most importantly is the right thing to do. With continued attacks coming from Washington, this administration will always stand with our transgender community and their right to lead safe and healthy lives.”

The department said paying for the surgeries will help stave off negative health effects, such as depression and suicide. The HFS said 17 states and Washington, D.C. offer coverage for the surgeries without a significant cost increase.

The ACLU of Illinois hailed the decision to cover sex reassignment surgeries.
