Edit: On a side note, Chick-fil-A probably could have called Alderman's bluff, since I'm pretty sure that would qualify as abuse of his power, and as well a waste of resources to pursue the issue. The beliefs of the CEO shouldn't impact the expansion of a company. More than likely the company listened to reason, and realized that they weren't approaching the issue appropriately. Disagreeing with someone is okay, but organizations, while being pro-Christian, like Focus on the Family, are very dangerous to be associated with since they have no problem infringing on the rights of people of different beliefs. Ultimately, I do believe Chick-fil-A is an organization that does wish to treat everyone with respect. |
Actually they wouldn't of won that.
Originally the Alderman wanted to reject Chick-Fil-A from opening there because of Traffic Reasons.
After this gay thing broke out, he realized he could win big points by saying THAT was why he was against it. When in reality he had already rejected the chick fil-a before this became apparent or a big deal.
Now this gives him an even BIGGER win, and Chic Fil-a gets their shop...
the losers? The Alderman's ward apparently, since the Chic Fil-a is going to be in a location that makes traffic dangerous/bad.
