Sen. Lindsey Graham slammed New York state Democrats over their attempt to stop Chick-fil-A from operating in rest stops due to concerns over the company’s religious-based opposition to gay marriage. Bronson and two other openly gay New York Democrats also sent a letter to Matthew Driscol, executive director of the New York State Thruway Authority, voicing their displeasure with the plan. In 2019, Chick-fil-A received backlash for donating to two groups that opposed gay marriage. "Such a move by New York against Chick-fil-A would create unnecessary upheaval at a time when the country needs to move forward in respecting sincerely held differences of opinion." "Chick-fil-A is a lawful business with a great product," Graham concluded in his Facebook post.
