Boston Mayor writes to President of Chick-Fil-A

Earlier this week I wrote about how Boston’s Mayor telling one of the country’s largest fast food chains it was not welcome in Boston after the President of the company divulged their support for traditional marriage and equated supporting same sex marriage to “inviting God’s judgement on our nation” in my post, Mayor Menino says Chick-fil-A not welcome in Boston.

There is no place for discrimination on Boston’s Freedom Trail and  no place for your company alongside it.

Following Mayor Menino’s public rebuke, he wrote a letter on city stationary to Chick-Fil-A president, Dan Cathy (see below).  In the letter he goes on to say…“you called supporters of gay marriage as ‘prideful’.  Here in Boston, to borrow your own words, we are ‘guilty as charged.’ The letter goes on and says, “I was angry to learn on the heels of your prejudiced statements about your search for a site to locate in Boston. There is no place for discrimination on Boston’s Freedom Trail and  no place for your company alongside it.”

  1. The first American African American soldier died in front of Faneuil Hall in our stuggle for freedom from the oppressive reign of King George III.
    It is exciting that we continue to strive for personal freedom in our country and in Boston.
    Boston is a city of intellect, variety and tolerance.
    This man is compromising himself and his company by maintaining such archaic opinions about others.
    The mayor did an exceptional thing by supporting his constituency.
