New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio on Tuesday encouraged his constituents not to eat at a new Chick-fil-A restaurant opening in the city, citing the company’s pro-traditional marriage views.
“What the ownership of Chick-fil-A has said is wrong,” Mr. de Blasio said at a press conference, as reported by DNA Info.
“I’m certainly not going to patronize them, and I wouldn’t urge any other New Yorker to patronize them,” he said, adding that “they do have a legal right.”
Mr. de Blasio’s comments came after city Councilman Danny Dromm started a boycott for a new Chick-fil-A location opening in Queens.
“Chick-fil-A is anti-LGBT,” Mr. Dromm said in a statement.
“This group imparts a strong anti-LGBT message by forcing their employees and volunteers to adhere to a policy that prohibits same-sex love,” he said. “It is outrageous that Chick-fil-A is quietly spreading its message of hate by funding these types of organizations.”
Chick-fil-A said in a statement it was excited to serve “existing and new customers great food with remarkable service” at the new location.
“We look forward to opening our first restaurant in Queens and serving all of our customers delicious food in an environment of genuine hospitality,” a spokeswoman said.
Chick-fil-A CEO Dan T. Cathy in 2012 said his company supported “the biblical definition of the family unit,” drawing outrage from pro-LGBT groups.

And that is all Dan T. Cathy said. Then he and his franchise owners were attacked by the Pink Parasol Paramilitary Patrol (P4). Noting also a homosexual activist rushed into AFA HQs with chick fil A sandwiches in a backpack and started shooting. Good news is the limp wrist was a bad shot.
So how is the franchise "anti" homosexual? They hire homosexuals and serve chicken products from both straight and homosexual chickens AFAIK? [yes chuckle a bit]
So the message from duh Blazzio is "boycott Chick-fil-A because they don't adhere to 'our' form of 'free' speech."

Another voice representing the infiltrating of America by pathology and degeneracy speaks out.

The closest one to me is about 75 miles away. The next time I am over that way, I will. I will have my daughter take a picture of me with their product, while I give ol Bill the one finger salute. I will then mail it to him, with a short note, saying " hey Bill, FU !! "

But wouldn't that be ignoring the plight of those oppressed LGBTers?
Having won the gay marriage fight, and on their way to winning the unisex restroom fight, I hate to think what they have planned for us next,

Half of Petes family won't go. They'll only eat meaty balls smothered in underwear.

The people have a legal right to leave the city. For example, see Detroit.

Indeed. I still have family behind enemy lines in the North East. How they put up with this garbage is baffling.

Do it often. Know the owners of the local Chick-fil-a and they are proud sponsors of our local sports programs and veterans. Since I am a local competitive baseball coach, they treat me like a big shot when I go in. :)

Heard this one via the veteran word of mouth and someone put it on the internet too I believe. Attributed to an unknown Military Vet CSM:
"When I joined the Army being gay was illegal; then we just didn't talk about it. Now it is not only legal but celebrated. I'm getting out before it becomes mandatory!"
