If I were the powers that be at CFA, I would just go elsewhere. The business is successful. Doesn’t need to locate in a pansy state.
It is America but it is fast becoming something like one’s nightmares.
Who does he think he is - Barack Obama?
Block them on what grounds?
Where is the legal authority to do such a thing?
This is rooted in discrimination against religious principles.
Once upon a time, Boston was thew Cradle of American Liberty.
But that was many generations ago.
Now its the Kremlin of the People’s Republic of Taxachussetts.
Who built the shining city on a hill?
Mumbles Menino is an idiot and the people of Boston deserve him.
Lots of other cities and towns in MA would probably welcome the business.
So Boston hates Christians and Jews?
Boston is the elephant in the room. When I visited Massachusetts recently I found that the towns are full of hard working people who try to get around the elephant the best they can. I think we need to re-think Massachusetts, Boston is more like NYC which most people outside of NYC do not like.
Adds new meaning to “Banned in Boston”.
So much for the tolerant left!
Secondly, he didn’t say a thing about gay marriage: “We are very much supportive of the family - the biblical definition of the family unit. We are a family-owned business, a family-led business, and we are married to our first wives. We give God thanks for that,”
Thomas M. Menino, Mayor of Boston. Contact Tommy’s office and let him know what you think of his vicious, bigoted, and discriminatory comment... 617.635.4500
To sum up: Mayor demands food company tolerates butt sex.
Just another delusional liberal human toilet.
Massachusetts should be purged from the union
Thank you. As a conservative in Massachusetts, it can be tough on FR. Even though I well understand most fellow conservatives on FR speak about Massachusetts with the unsaid understanding that they know we aren’t all raving moon bats, it still hurts.
I used to do the exact same thing with California...talk about me wearing my faults on my back.
As for Chick-Fil-A...gonna be my new destination.
The founder of Chick-fil-A, Truitt Cathy, is a philanthropist. He’s given away millions of dollars mostly for needy children and college scholarships.
The mayor of Boston is a nobody compared to Truitt Cathy.

Sorry, Menino, but Chick-Fil-A is already in suburban Boston:

I think of Chick-Fil-A as more of a suburban than a urban place, anyway.
Since Menino and his supporters will be missing out on Chick-Fil-A, they can chow down on “gay” cuisine, whatever that is!
IIRC, Mumbles welcomes illegal alien car thieves. Something about Boston being a “world-class city”.
