Mayor Bill de Blasio called for a city-wide boycott of Chick-fil-A last week, and it appears the people of New York have answered that call. The answer is a resounding "no." Both midtown Manhattan locations are reportedly raking it in, with long lunchtime lines that often stretch around the block.

Last week, Mayor de Blasio-- who is currently fending off several state and federal ethics probes -- urged New Yorkers to avoid eating at the politically incorrect eating establishment.
"What the ownership of Chick-fil-A has said is wrong," the mayor told reporters on Tuesday. "I'm certainly not going to patronize them and I wouldn't urge any other New Yorker to patronize them. But they do have a legal right."
City Councilman Danny Dromm piled on, accusing Chick-fil-A of "forcing their employees and volunteers to adhere to a policy that prohibits same-sex love," which is not even remotely true.
In the wake of their city government's anti-Chick-fil-A temper tantrum, New Yorkers are demonstrating that they just "dont give a cluck" about what the the chain's CEO said about same-sex marriage four years ago. While their rivals are struggling, Chick-fil-A is doing so well in the Big Apple, the company is planning to add 12 new restaurants in the New York metro area over the next year.
“I wish I had a Chik-fil-A near me :-(”

Me too.
I never even heard of them until they hit the news when the libs attacked them.

De Blasio’s a hugh maroon of the highest order.
This annoys me. I live in Texas. . .why can’t we have 12 new Chic-Fil-A stores? I have to drive about 25 minutes to get to one!!! I want more Chic-Fil-As in Texas. You know, the state that loves you!
You would think that companies would take note and stop their ridiculous pandering to homosexuals and other assorted perverts.
