Chick-fil-A is a large fast food chain in the United States with more than 1,600 locations. Chick-Fil-A has made news over the years because of their donations to anti-gay organizations, but the controversy came to a head recently when the President, Dan Cathy, said the following.
“We are very much supportive of the family — the biblical definition of the family unit…we know that it might not be popular with everyone, but thank the Lord, we live in a country where we can share our values and operate on biblical principles.”
Responding to the comments above and Cathy’s statement that the embrace of marriage equality is tantamount to “inviting God’s judgement on our nation” Boston’s Mayor Menino had this to say,
“Chick Fil A doesn’t belong in Boston. You can’t have a business in the city of Boston that discriminates against a population. We’re an open city, we’re a city that’s at the forefront of inclusion.”
Bravo Mayor Menino
