Pittsburgh Mayor Luke Ravenstahl said he shares his fellow mayors’ concerns and would consider trying to block the chain as well.

With Chick-fil-A fight, progressive mayors get their ‘Ground Zero Mosque’ moment - Guest Voices - The Washington Post


In a letter to the editor of an Illinois newspaper the following was written today: "Regarding the Chick- fil-A uproar: As someone who has been discriminated against because of my orientation, it would be hypocritical to support discrimination against a company for the sole reason of expressing a position based on belief. As long as Chick-fil-A has open hiring practices and honors legislation that recognizes laws honoring gay rights, we absolutely should not keep them from doing business or withhold building permits."

"Our country honors freedom of faith. It goes against everything our country was built upon. How can any of us learn from one another and grow if we are discouraged to express our beliefs in a public venue?"

The letter to the editor concludes by saying: "I appreciate the sentiment of these actions, but not the action. Let us fight this battle fairly and honestly without discrimination. Haven't we had enough of that?"

Another perspective on the Chick-fil-A issue. Personally, I wonder just who these mayors think they are??? Dictator's???
