Boston Mayor Thomas Menino has backpedaled on remarks that he would
keep Chick-fil-A off city grounds because the head of the fast food
chicken restaurant supports traditional marriage - but maintaining that
he hopes the chain will stay out of Boston.
Menino told the Boston Herald Thursday that he can’t
actually stop the restaurant from opening there, despite his staunch
opposition to its pro-family position.
“I can’t do that. That would be interference to his rights to go there,” Menino said.
Menino had warned “it will be very difficult” for Chick-fil-A to
obtain licenses for a restaurant in Boston, where the chain was
reportedly looking to open a location, after Chick-fil-A CEO Dan Cathy
defended his company’s donation to “anti-gay” groups such as Focus on
the Family.
