The mayor of Boston is vowing to block Chick-fil-A from opening a restaurant in the city after the company's president spoke out publicly against gay marriage.
Mayor Thomas Menino told the Boston Herald on Thursday that he doesn't want a business in the city "that discriminates against a population."
Chick-fil-A President Dan Cathy told the Baptist Press this week that his privately owned company is "guilty as charged" in support of what he called the biblical definition of the family.
The fast-food chicken sandwich chain later said that it strives to "treat every person with honor, dignity and respect -- regardless of their belief, race, creed, sexual orientation or gender."
Atlanta-based Chick-fil-A has more than 1,600 stores nationwide but just two in Massachusetts, both located in suburban malls.

Sounds yummy and thank you much for the reply!
“Another Christian restaurant chain, In-N-Out burger, lists bible passages (such as John 3:16) in out of the way locations on their cups and wrappers.”
We have one here in NC that does that also, “Cook Out”. The employees at the drive up window often suggest that you “have a blessed day”. :-)
got that right, I;m sick of the locusts moving to places only to bring their ignorant uneducated ways and minds with them.
They demand in our area, their shopping malls, their designer stores, bycycle rails, and lanes which are causing all sorts of problems with drivers now, they vote the same way and can’t understand for the life of them why they left their crap hole of a state.
