That would be a violation of their religious freedom to bring that up now and just all of a sudden implement that rule. The city council is screwed now because they made their intentions known early on. There is a big fat lawsuit coming their way.
Yes, because there is nothing more Christian than suing someone.

The city council has a responsibility to address the image that the city wants to project.
Denver wants to be viewed as inclusive. If they don't think that this particular business fits that image, well, more power to them.
It's not like anyone won't survive without one more fried chicken outlet.
Personally, I think they should always endeavor to fill the space with local vendors, like they did with The Tattered Cover bookstore.
I have no issue with the council's hesitancy.

P.S. You think punishing people for having a different view on gay marriage is being inclusive? Really? Or does inclusive mean, viewpoints we agree with?
Exactly. What if the council didn't want the image of being inclusive. Should they stop gay people from opening a restaurant. Or what if they didn't like Jewish beliefs. I am amazed at Tiger Lily's position.
It is good to be inclusive as long as you don't agree with what is being excluded.
The most recent time I was stranded at Dulles overnight after arriving on a several hours delayed international flight (and that has been happening a LOT more recently, WTF is going on?), of course, everything was closed. Nowhere to get inflated-cost but at least reasonably-priced food. So... the airline puts us up in a hotel that's a 30-minute shuttle bus ride away, and gives us a $15 per person food voucher. Slap in the face after you realize the hotel restaurant you're in (no fast food, etc., nearby) charges at least $30 per entree and $20 for a martini.
The whole point in this is that I agree that if CF-A won't be open on Sundays during normal FF business hours, they shouldn't get the DIA concession. They've made the decision to remain closed on Sundays. The respective DIA (or whoever) authorities made the decision to serve their patronage full-time instead of part-time. I can respect that. Free market at work.
