Citing Chick-fil-A CEO Dan Cathy’s opposition to gay marriage, students said the presence of the chain on campus would be a microaggression against LGBT members of the community, Eater reports. Though the Student Government Association approved the resolution, the move is purely hypothetical: there’s no indication that the Johns Hopkins administration was in negotiations with Chick-fil-A, though some students had wondered whether the chain might open a location in a new building under construction on campus. \[[_Eater_](http://www.eater.com/2015/4/23/8479689/chick-fil-a-johns-hopkins-resolution-lgbt-anti-gay)\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3834244/johns-hopkins-chick-fil-a/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3834244/johns-hopkins-chick-fil-a/"},"headline":"Johns Hopkins Votes to Ban Chick-fil-A From Campus","datePublished":"2015-04-24T12:21:30.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:19:04.134Z","description":"Students object to the CEO's stance on gay marriage","url":"https://time.com/3834244/johns-hopkins-chick-fil-a/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Food & Drink","LGBT","Chick-fil-A"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltbace271522e6c5fa/6987ecaa2dce0123379e1780/johns-hopkins.jpeg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Sarah Begley","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/sarah-begley/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltbace271522e6c5fa/6987ecaa2dce0123379e1780/johns-hopkins.jpeg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"REAL-CMP-COLLEGEARCHITECTS","caption":"REAL-CMP-COLLEGEARCHITECTS","creditText":"Kim Hairston—Baltimore Sun/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3834244/johns-hopkins-chick-fil-a/","name":"Johns Hopkins Votes to Ban Chick-fil-A From Campus"}}]}] ```
