NYC Mayor De Blasio says 'Don't go to Chick-Fil-A'
(FOX NEWS) - New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and other city officials are urging New Yorkers not to eat at Chick fil-A.
The popular chicken restaurant is planning to open up a new location in Queens, its fourth to open in New York City.
But the liberal mayor argued that the owners of Chick fil-A support groups that promote "hate" against gays.
"Chick-fil-A is anti-LGBT," he said in a statement, according to the website DNAInfo.
"This group imparts a strong anti-LGBT message by forcing their employees and volunteers to adhere to a policy that prohibits same-sex love. It is outrageous that Chick-fil-A is quietly spreading its message of hate by funding these types of organizations."
