A Chicago alderman who had threatened to block Chick-fil-A from opening a store in his community says he will no longer stand in the chicken chain’s way after company leaders agreed to create policies that support the gay, lesbian and transgendered community.

Proco “Joe” Moreno said in a statement Tuesday that Atlanta-based Chick-fil-A has placed in a company document an agreement that directs its employees to treat people of all backgrounds with “honor, dignity and respect — regardless of their beliefs, race, creed, sexual orientation and gender.” The chain also said it would refrain from engaging in political or social debates.

Chick-fil-A leaders did not immediately return phone calls to verify that such an agreement had been struck.

“This fight was never about “freedom of speech” or “freedom of beliefs,” Moreno said in the statement. “Despite common characterization, this fight was about ensuring the right of LGBT citizens everywhere . . . This fight was about justice.”

We can’t just disbelieve because the source is someone we don’t like. I double checked and this is being reported all over.

LMBO!!!
In other words, Chick-fil-A did absolutely NOTHING except roll its eyes and give this scumbag politician a few meaningless words to hang his hat on as he backed out the door.

Go, Chick-fil-A!
