I can’t find a transcript but it sure sounds from the article like he’s trying to get them to forfeit their right to support anti-SSM groups in return for a permit. In other words, they can keep their freedom of speech, sort of, as long as they cede their freedom of association. That’s “Chicago values,” I guess.
"Chicago Alderman Joe Moreno says the door isn’t entirely closed on a new Chick-fil-A restaurant opening in his 1st ward.
Moreno told WBEZ that the owners seeking to build the restaurant have said they won’t support any groups with a political agenda, including those with an anti-gay marriage stance.
Moreno says if he gets an explicit guarantee from the franchise owner he will consider granting zoning rights to a new Chick-fil-A in Logan Square.
“If they’re serious about that, and they’re willing to put that in writing and they’re willing to adopt that. I think those are the grounds where we can move forward,” Moreno said.
T think this self-annonited half-wit needs to get the city and himself involved in a colossal class-action lawsuit.
CFA has over ten thousand people lined up to open a franchise. I know people who have tried, it's guaranteed success. The Cathy's don't need Chicago, it's the other way around.
Then they should appeal it all the way up to the US Supreme Court — oh, wait....maybe not such a good idea after all.
He told me that the two lowest things in the world were Chicago politicians and Little Rock lawyers. Odd how the Dems gave us both.
They didn't. Do you believe that State and Municipal governments are limited by the Constitution?
The “Gay Card” has become the new “Race Card” in this country.
the 14th says they are.
However, thus far, no law has been passed keeping them out. Just a lot of hot air from political hacks.
The one thing the leftist aka progressive god haters cannot grasp. Is there is no church of America.
