Boston Mayor Thomas Menino wants to restrict a single private business, Chick-Fil-A, from opening any franchises in Boston. His reported remarks were,

“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.”

Chick-Fil-A has come under fire from progressive groups for donating millions of dollars to pro-family organizations over the past few years. This, according to Mayor Menino, counts as discrimination.

W.o.w.

I really can't believe I just read that..

 

[Keith and stuff]

I don't even think there is a Chick-fli-A in Boston but there are in the near-by Burlington, MA, Peabody, MA and Nashua, NH malls.

Southern restaurants aren't too popular in Boston. I don't think there is a Cracker Barrel in Boston either but there are restaurants in near-by Hingham, MA, Wrentham, MA and Londonderry, NH.

I think there are a couple Popeye's Chicken places in Boston, though.

Criticizes a restaurant chain for intolerance

Doesn't tolerate their opinion

Yet more evidence that there's an agenda behind this.

And it's not like them donating to pro family groups is even anti-gay in any way. At least the mayor showed his true colors by showing the obvious bias they have by actively fighting the traditional family, as if the family were inherently an enemy to tolerance and inclusion. It boggles the mind to read stuff like this and see the logical disconnect laid out there in plain view, and yet they act like it's a perfectly logical thing to say when it is insanity.

Civil rights act in full spirit.

I won't tolerate the intolerant... wait.

This is an anti-Christian agenda. The man that owns the chain is what is understood to be a good Christian man. This is an attempt to break his faith through commerce. He won't succumb.

Wow, banning specific restaurants. How ridiculous.

While I think the owner's beliefs are despicable, people should be allowed to eat there. Also, they aren't even discriminating in the store. Even if they were, they have the right to do so.

I wouldn't exactly call them wanting to dictate other people's personal contracts and relationships martyr-worthy, but it certainly wont stop me from eating there. Freedom means to acknowledge that others have different views than oneself.

How are his beliefs 'despicable'?

Under Civil Rights act, or local commerce chambers, it's pretty much illegal to openly discriminate against customers, even though there's always a sign that says "We reserve the right to refuse service", I'm not sure how much can be exercised. But that said, Chikfila never claimed they will not serve gays, so that's not discriminatory.

Does Boston have enough jobs? I think this is a stupid move on his part.

Liberals are stupid, what's news? You think liberals care about jobs when a job is created by a bigot? Well, actually they do. They'd prefer to force the employer to be inclusive, but if they can't, or find it more fun to punish him with fines or force him to move away, they might do it too.

His opposition to same sex marriage is despicable. Using the force of government to outlaw peaceful, consensual actions between individuals is wrong.

This coming from a town that idolizes a drunk who treated women like animals and was responsible for killing at least one. Who knows what else he did.
