NYC Speaker Quinn Asks NYU to Boot Chick-fil-A After Anti-Gay Remarks

DNA Info reports:
Despite Mayor Bloomberg's welcome to Chick-fil-A after the company's president made anti-gay-marriage comments, Council Speaker Christine Quinn began an online effort to boot the chain's only location from the city Saturday.

Chick-fil-A, a chain of fried chicken shacks with a biblical bent that's wildly popular in the South, currently doesn't have any New York locations listed in the 32 stores posted under 'Future Openings' on their web site. Nor do they have public plans for new stores in New York State, or Northeast region.

But Saturday Quinn began a campaign to get the one New York City location, at 5 University Place on NYU's campus, booted, saying the city is not a place for intolerance or homophobia


The tolerance of liberals.
