Mayor Bill de Blasio and members of the New York City
Council are calling for a city-wide boycott of Chick-fil-A – urging citizens to
refrain from eating plump juicy chicken breasts tucked between hot buttered
buns.
“I’m certainly not going to patronize them and I wouldn’t
urge any other New Yorker to patronize them,” the mayor told DNAInfo.com.
Councilman Daniel Dromm was even more blunt –
accusing the Southern restaurant chain of spreading a “message of hate.”
Chick-fil-A opened its first New York City restaurant in
2015 – followed by a second location in April. The mayor’s remarks came after
it was announced a third restaurant would be opening in Queens – which happens
to be the district represented by Councilman Dromm.
So why does the mayor and the city council have a problem
with Chick-fil-A – the unofficial chicken of Jesus?
Well, Chick-fil-A is owned by a devoutly Christian
family. Back in 2012 company president Dan Cathy ruffled feathers by telling a
reporter that he believed marriage is between a man and a woman.
The Chick-fil-A culture and service tradition
in our restaurants is to treat every person with honor, dignity and respect –
regardless of their beliefs, race, creed, sexual orientation and gender,” a
spokesperson told DNAInfo.
Chick-fil-A is not in the business of spreading hate.
They are in the business of selling chicken and waffle fries and deliciously
refreshing lemonade.
And they do not have a policy that prohibits same-sex
love. That’s a blatant lie. Chick-fil-A could care less whether birds of a
feather flock together or not.
Another item to consider: Chick-fil-A employs hundreds of
New Yorkers – adding significant tax dollars to the city’s coffers. And
that doesn’t even include the cash donations they’ve made to a number of NYC
charities.
But that doesn’t matter to people like Mayor de Blasio
and Councilman Dromm. Full and complete compliance to the LGBT agenda is the
only thing that matters – even if it means hundreds of New Yorkers lose their
jobs.
Perhaps the mayor and the city council should mind their
own business and let Chick-fil-A mind theirs.
I guess, if a reporter asks you a question about your
religiousbeliefs, you better not answer if those beliefs differ from those of Mayor de Blasio. What an idiot this guy must be. You cannot exersize your first admendment right
to free speech unless you agree with him.
Chick Fil A has many profitable locations
in NYC, and the surrounding areas. They employ many workers, earning real wages
in this wasteland economy. Chikk Fil A
Pays business and property taxes and real rent. It is a part of the PRODUCTIVE side of New
York's fragile economy.
BUT, the mayor de Blasio tells people not to patronize their business ?
Why ? He's a democrat and an avowed,
confirmed communist.
Makes me want to go have lunch at Chick Fil
A…
