Chick-Fil-A Stand Draws Supporters

At the St. Maries Gazette Record, Publisher Dan Hammes discusses this issue today: "The same day Mayor Rahm (Emmanuel of Chicago) was outraged about (Chick-Fil-A owner) Dan Cathy, he orchestrated quite the show welcoming Louis Farrakhan to his city. Now some people can ignore the fact Farrakhan has repeatedly said horrible things about Jews. Being an anti-Semite, after all, is fashionable in some circles. But how could Mayor Rahm ignore that Farrakhan opposes same-sex marriage? Farrakhan, citing scripture, recently blasted President Obama’s recent election-year decision to change his mind about gay marriage. So one guy who opposes gay marriage gets the proverbial key to the city while the other guy who opposes gay marriage is threatened with a lawsuit if he attempts to open a business in that same city. More here.

Question: Is there any Chick-Fil-A restaurants in this part of the country? Have you ever eaten at one?
