Chick-fil-a is correct to stand their ground concerning traditional marriages. Politicians or anyone else should not dictate what others religious beliefs are nor how they run their businesses. Politicians with perverted minds will support any perversion to curry favor with the deviants in society, this is nothing new. Blocking business creation because a company has certain religious views is new. Chicago's mayor has demonstrated his ignorance many times, now he demonstrates his stupidity.
