A preemptive move to make sure there is no boycott/social media complication of their branded products. <br /><br />Chic-Fil-A has its base, but will never expand in the Northeast despite the long lines at the mall's food court here. The CFA in New Hampshire was a corporate sponsor of the gay pride parade. <br /><br />I don't want to be paranoid, but it sounds mobbish. Agree with our politics or we will disrupt your business. The mayor of Boston tried to stop CFA in downtown Boston. <br /><br />Enough influence to be in a Chevy ad or a Live Science article about gays in Russia, who is behind this push? <br /><br />Not your average person who is gay. <br /><br />Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03852754398007790428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-54969732863427296462014-02-11T17:03:33.943-06:002014-02-11T17:03:33.943-06:00Hasn't the Canadian Institute for gays and Wha...<i>Hasn't the Canadian Institute for gays and Whatever watched men's skating?</i><br /><br />Not butch enough.<br /><br />Besides, everyone knows the gays are ice skating.

This is compared to one in fourteen white households (7 percent) who are car-less. In the eleven coastal counties with the highest incidence and future risk of hurricanes, people without cars are disproportionately people of color. These include counties in Houston, Providence, New Orleans, Tampa, New York City and Miami.
