…because discriminating against someone based on their sexuality is a violation of their human rights. Duh.

I think you may be misunderstanding what happened. Chick Fil A did not come out in support of gay marriage, but against it. Not to mention that it is just dangerous, in Boston gay marriage is legal, and has one of the largest pride parades, so to put an anti gay restaurant in the city is potentially dangerous

So, Oreo is not a company, Nabisco is and they make Oreo as well as many, many other products. The same with Old Navy; they are owned by the Gap company, which also owns The Gap and Banana Republic. As such, these companies have much more political influence in a northern city such as Bostson then say a southern company like Chick-Fil-A. Just sayin’…

You obviously misinterpreted what this article said. Moron. Kudos to that mayor though, that’s a very bold move.

Apples and oranges. There’s quite a difference between a mayor saying no to a company because they’re owned and operated by bigots that discriminate against the city’s people and a mayor (i.e. government official) discriminating because of his religious beliefs - see the Constitution for why.

I think you missed the part where Chick-fil-a did NOT come out in support of LGBT communities, but in fact stated their vehement opposition.  How is it logical? It’s logical because it’s about damn time that belief in equality translates to policies that don’t allow archaic, ass-backwards, homophobic AWFUL companies to thrive. It’s a statement that says, ‘we will not stand for this anymore.’ And it’s amazing.
