News of Chick-fil-A's expansion into Toronto is being slammed online by some LGBTQ supporters, who have declared a boycott of the chicken-centric chain's future Canadian locations via Twitter.
On July 25, Chick-fil-A President and COO Tim Tassopoulos announced that the chain will open its first international location in the city in 2019, with plans to open 15 more restaurants through the next five years in the greater Toronto area.
“Toronto is a great city – with diverse and caring people, a vibrant restaurant culture and a deep talent pool,” he said in an open letter. “These characteristics align perfectly with Chick-fil-A’s focus on community giving, delivering a premium restaurant experience and working with passionate people who can grow with our company.”
He added that the Atlanta-based chain spent "years researching cities around the world" before selecting Toronto.
Some LGBTQ supporters, meanwhile, are furious with the news, declaring that Chick-fil-A’s historically antigay policies will clash with the culture of the Ontario city, which has previously been named the third most LGBT-friendly city in the world.
“Just a friendly Canadian reminder that we are a progressive country and have morals and fight for equal rights for all. We don't want your bigoted and discriminatory business opening anywhere north of the border. #BoycottChickFilA” one critic tweeted.

Why don’t the fruitcakes just open up their own chain of restaurants? They can call it “Chuck Filet’s”.
LGBTQwhatevers hate everything of quality.
Which is why they love themselves, of course.
LGERBILQ
Makes me think of going there the next time I’m in TO, lol. Toronto has an Old Spaghetti Factory, which we’ve not had in about 30 years
Chick-fil-A does not serve gays?
Honestly the establishments are a smash wherever they open. These protests wont amount to a popcorn f*rt....
With all due respect to CFA which is a chicken place, this is a nothing burger. Open your stores CFA. You will be successful. Kudos for not allowing the relatively small number of queers in Toronto to delay you.
As a SWMCG (straight white male Christan gun-owner), I’m glad to see at least one corporation willing to stand up to the LGBTQ bullies.
I’d like to know of just one sodomite which Chic-fil-A has interfered with in practicing their perversion.
.... I have always wondered why Chick-fil-A is considered a “Discriminatory” business ... since they will serve and deliver orders to anybody who enters the premises and pays for the items. I am pretty sure they don’t ask if you are Gay or Straight. So the question remains .... How are they being discriminatory?
Free publicity. Now everyone in town will know that it is open and where it is.
You got that right. It’s a wonder that Chic-fil-A even manages to survive in the current political climate, much less thrive as they do.
In my trip across the southern US from coast to coast, I noticed several chick-fil-a restaurants. Every one of the drive up lanes were filled with cars backed up to the curb.
Because leftist “tolerance” is defined as whole-heartedly embracing and celebrating their entire agenda, no questions asked.
Rush-roh! Don’t tell Trudeau this.....he will ban Chick-fil-A!
Thanks...for the Heads Up! Going to Chick Filet right now and buy, buy buy. Great publicity. MORE please.
That's OK - the Toronto LGBTQ whackjobs will soon be shot, run over or stabbed to death by the Toronto Muslim whackjobs...
“Toronto is a great city – with diverse and caring people...”
Sounds like it. As long as you agree with perversion, it’s wonderful.
BYE MOR CHIK-FILL-EH STOK!!!
