Chick-fil-A Blocked From Opening Second Chicago Store

Alderman Joe Moreno, who represents Chicago's Logan Square neighborhood, plans to use his aldermanic privilege, a Chicago tradition in which City Council members defer to aldermen on local matters, to block the restaurant's permit from opening up in his ward."It's a very diverse ward -- economically, racially, and diverse in sexual orientation," Moreno told ABCNews.com. "We've got thriving businesses and we want more but at the very least don't discriminate against our LGBTQ folks."Fair Use Notice: This post contains copyrighted material the use of which has not always been specifically authorized by the copyright owner.

Is your country turning fascist? The next thing the Republicans probably will ask is that homosexuals must ware a pink triangle on their sleeve when entering a Chick-fil-A or an other religious extremist establishment. There is so much talk about Islamic extremism but the pot (surely the Republican pot) calls the kettle black.Land of the free? Allow me to be sceptical and amused.

U ppl are more worried about what other ppl do in their bedrooms yet those same ppl allow their government to bomb & murder innocent ppl in foreign countries to steal their resources while bringing them Americans style democracy an western influence yet call themselves "christian/religious" ppl LOL. While churches allow pastors to continue raping kids & ENTIRE board of directors turned a blind eye to years of rape @ penn state & Barry destroying our country those same ppl don't give a shit WTF?

how? how are they discriminating against gay people? because he had an opinion? why is it only the liberals are entitled to opinions? for people that preach and cry discrimination about everything... why cant others have a different opinion than you? i am not saying the guy is right or wrong. i have no idea. but i know that it should not be up to chicago politicians to block his business due to his opinion on personal matters.

You Democrats are idiots. You attack Chick-Fil-A for having a Christian CEO, yet you never protest against Islam. You Democrats are the party of hate.

Actually, fascists like Joe Moreno legally cannot block Chick-Fil-A. They would be sued.

Funny how you don't even have an argument so YOU are just saying how superior you think you are, and that I don't have any intellect, although I'm the one here who has proven more evidence and a better argument, please keep calling me a child you righteous bigot, you're just proving how much more childish and idiotic you are!
