After Chick-fil-A’s President Dan Cathy came out in support of traditional marriage earlier this year, Boston Mayor Thomas Menino sent Cathy an angry letter threatening the company to “back out of [their] plans to locate in Boston.” The mayor’s intimidation tactic sparked quite the controversy, which surfaced a number of issues including economic bullying, free speech and competing definitions of marriage.

“No Chick-fil-A!” he said."
He added, “You want to make fun of the issue of division — I’m not there.” Watch the mayor refuse the tasty meal:
