I have zero problem with people removing patronage from any business responding to market signals. I oppose ALL government interventionism in this regard and the Mayor of Boston should be ashamed of himself. This is just another example of using the force of government to effect social change in regard to an issue in which the principle of non aggression has not been broken.

I don't understand why any business would come out in support of Gay Marriage either, but more do that. I applaud Chick Fil-A for holding to the values of their founder.

It's a dumb move. Gay people eat chicken sandwiches too. Your political beliefs should not involve your business.

.

Are Gays intolerant of Chick-Fil-A's beliefs?

Crazy as this might sound...I have never patronized Chick Fil A. I find nothing appealing about a chicken sandwich..from them or anyone else. I have always been amazed at their success. Just goes to show that not everyone has the same tastes because they seem to be doing well.

Never been in one either. Have meant to, just never have.

...their mayor is this guy.

What's ironic about this is Boston is probably one of the most anti black racist cities in the nation. If blacks in Boston were only gay......

I strongly disagree. With the amount of voter fraud in our elections, the only way to affect some situations is with your wallet.

Pick your contractors and salesmen carefully, and you will have a greater inpact on local politics than you might first believe.

Wow we need to get you there ASAP. Let's be honest, Chick Fil A is great, although somewhat along Wendy's in as far as pricing is concerned.

Please tell me you've been to Bojangles.

I was never much on ChickFil-A either, until I had a chicken biscuit for breakfast.

Those things are deadly.

But sticking to those tenets has worked pretty well for Chick Fil-A. That's the beauty of a true capitalist system. Those who agree with Chick Fil-A can support them and trade with them. Those who don't are free to go elsewhere.

Well duh. Of course it has worked for them well since most of their stores are in the confederate states. That stance will be a harder sell in the union states.

I have been there a couple times and thought the food was ok but nothing I would go out of my way to get.

Chick Fil-A CEO stated publically he is opposed to Gay Marriage.

The GAY AGENDA crowd is becoming more like a bunch of NAZI's. Truly amazed that a lifestyle can dominate the political decisions of so many.

Lynchburg, VA voted down a Hooters to appease Jerry Falwell. It works both ways, sadly, but should be illegal in either scenario. That's along the lines of how governments in communist countries work.

Chickfila is about as bland as you can get in the market, imho. I'll be a dissenting voice and say you're not missing much of anything. In general, I hate businesses that hire idiots more than any other reason. Nothing personal against your employer, RobertN.

Now, I'm not a fan of their sandiwches.. but for their Waffle fries and lemonade... YUMMM!!! (I miss those!)

Pity the people of Boston. Their mayor is arbitrarily limiting their consumer choices because he disagrees with a political stand.

But then, they elected the idiot.

Officially though, is he limiting their choices if the company isn't even trying to Franchise in the area?

I pity the poor lost souls who can't enjoy the simple deliciousness that is the manna from heaven we on earth call the chic fil a sandwich. Screw Boston. More for me.

BY READING THIS POST YOU RECOGNIZE THAT IMATY IS THE LAST GREAT CRUSADER FOR TRUTH AND JUSTICE SO HELP YOU GOD.

I was wondering about the connection to the topic as well.

That scene was horrific with the pedestrian getting wiped out. Was curious, so I did a little hunting. Incredibly, he survived.

The PT Cruiser running the red light was driven by a 75-year-old woman.

Good point. This might fall in line with my boycott of dating Christina Hendricks.
