It's an op-ed by the alderman you cited in the OP that attempts to explain why he feels that it's important to violate civil rights in order to support civil rights. The gist of it was, "Because fuck you, that's why."

Pretty funny shit honestly.

Alderman Joe Moreno:
The intolerance of an organization and then my lack of acceptance of that intolerance is not hypocrisy, that's so self-amoric.
In thinking it's not about someone having a different view than you, that's not what it's about. What it's about is discriminating against individuals in our society. it's not about believing in a different God, it's not about believing either in Christ or having a different belief.
See they always try to do that, they try to say, 'oh well if we believe in something different... would you do this to a muslim company?" Well if a muslim company, -owned company, was outwardly discriminating against a section and supported policies that discriminated, yes.
But not just because they're muslim. 90% of the comments and e-mails and phone calls that I've gotten 90+% have been supportive. I think this is healthy, I think that these kinds of issues are not easy. This is a restaurant who's CEO who's practices are against the rights of individuals that live in my ward and I'm not gonna stand on the sidelines and allow that to happen.

I don't believe he has the right to behave like this. If he disagrees with Cathy there are other ways to go about it than this. This is just unacceptable. Jim Henson the same. It's discrimination towards Christian beliefs.
In Canada this would not fly I wouldn't think.

It's discrimination against actions that have their basis in Christianity, which is less morally reprehensible than targeting Christianity itself.
