Dear City of Atlanta Mayor and City Council:
"As you are probably already aware Atlanta-based fast-food chain Chik-fil-a has recently affirmed suspicions that they are anti-gay. Please follow the mayor of Boston's lead and stand up for the rights and equality of your constituents by no longer granting licenses to Chik-fil-a for any future stores within the city limits of Atlanta until they decide to stop supporting organizations who fight to suppress the rights of the LGBT community."
I really thought this might just be a quick vent but reading through all these messages confirms I am definitely not the only person feeling this way about our own neighborhood being used as a platform for this. People keep asking me what the next step is because the silence from the council is starting to feel real loud and honestly I am just trying to coordinate with a few folks who might actually listen to us before we get any more of these buildings popping up on every corner.
July 26, 2012
I was looking at the screen and realized how much this has exploded since I first started typing it out in a total whirlwind of frustration. It feels like the tide is turning and people are finally starting to look at these corporate choices with the actual scrutiny they deserve which honestly just blows my mind.

Enough is enough. We dont need more of these places in our city when they use their profits to hurt people. Keep them out.
