Chipotle Mexican Grill has pulled its sponsorship of Utah's "Scout-O-Rama" because of the Boy Scouts of America's long-standing ban on gays.

The popular Colorado-based restaurant chain initially signed on to provide about $4,200 worth of coupons to the Utah Boy Scouts' annual event, scheduled for May 4 in a Salt Lake City suburb. The Boy Scouts' Great Salt Lake Council is one of the largest in the country, with the majority of troops sponsored by Mormon churches.

I just sent Chipotle this E mail: Sorry, but i have to boycot your restaurant from now on. What you did - PULLING the Sponsorship of the Boy Scouts in Utah - is not American!!

What you needs to know is thart us American, who is sick of the LIBERAL CRAP and that includes the boycotting of the Boy Scouts - who is still for GOD! I think you should realize that we CONSERVATIVES will boycot places that is not for American Values. J C Penny is hurting because we are boycotting them now we are boycotting you, now. Chik-Fil-A know about American VALUES, you guys don't.. Hope you go BANKRUPT!!

oh yes, I am a dad with 3 boys in scouting!! We should send them e mail!!

ANOTHER business which will NOT see a single dollar of my business........

I don’t eat out often, but I do usually eat at ‘fast food’ places.

This one is dead to me.

I think parents have a right not to have their child sent to the woods overnight with a pedophile.
