Boston Mayor Bans Chick-fil-A From Putting Resto Next To Freedom Trail

In the deluge of Chick-fil-A condemations comes lovably grumpy Bahsten Mayah Tom Menino, who told the Boston Herald that he’s taken extreme measures against the company’s anti-gay stance:

“Chick-fil-A doesn’t belong in Boston. You can’t have a business in the city of Boston that discriminates against a population. We’re an open city, we’re a city that’s at the forefront of inclusion,” Menino told the Herald yesterday.

“That’s the Freedom Trail. That’s where it all started right here. And we’re not going to have a company, Chick-fil-A or whatever the hell the name is, on our Freedom Trail.”
