California Progressives Try to Prevent Chick-Fil-A Opening in San Francisco Suburb
Big League Politics ^ | Jun 7, 2019 | Richard Moorhead

San Mateo county officials are trying to prevent the opening of a Chick-Fil-A location in Redwood City, California, claiming that the fried chicken franchise is hostile to the LGBT community.

David Canepa, a San Mateo county supervisor, is leading the effort to drive the franchise away from the San Francisco suburb. He claims that “when people think of the Chick-fil-A logo — what they think of is anti-LGBTQ.”

Chick-Fil-A’s ownership has become the target of controversy for their Christian views in support of traditional marriage. Dan Cathy, the CEO of the company, has supported socially conservative organizations such as the Focus on the Family and the Family Research Council, in addition to speaking openly about his Christian religion.

Canepa went on to openly profess his opposition to Chick-Fil-A opening in Redwood City, taking it upon himself to try and deny their approval to build a new location on a political basis alone. “What we are trying to do is to make sure Chick-fil-A — if they want to do business here — that there is a lot of pressure here and that they should do the right thing and withdraw their application.”

The restaurant chain doesn’t require zoning permission to utilize their desired location(a former McDonald’s), but county commissioners wish to see them forced out through a community backlash.

Most in the LGBT crowd like Chick-Fil-A. Their so-called “leaders” aren’t doing them any favors.

Did they spell the name right?

Some say there is no such thing as bad publicity?

Chick-Fil-A appears to be doing better and better?

I bet if a franchise named Glory Hole wanted to open in the same place the city council would give them tax incentives.

When people think of Chick Fil A, they think of anti LGBT??

Does this idiot think that everything in life revolves around homosexuality?

Everything needs to be viewed through the prism of homosexuality??

Why dont they start up Harvey Milks fried chicken, and compete with Chick Fil A, if they want to do something positive?

Wow, pretty stupid. The upside is they don’t have to have a restaurant they dislike, the downside is a very expensive legal judgement...

Redwood City is a half-hour drive (in ideal traffic) from San Francisco.

“Why would CFA want to open in Sodom Frisco”

Redwood City is in San Mateo County, about 25 miles outside SF. San Francisco is both a city and a county combined, so there are no “other cities” in SF County.
