What, that they use corporate funds to support anti homosexual rights groups?

About sums it up. Its not to difficult to understand. I disagree with banning any company from operating for this reason, or any other, but its been done for all of my life, and from the 60's, where local communities and lawmakers will stop business licenses so that businesses that they don't like can't operate in their hometowns and counties.

Republicans are just pissed about it now, because its someone they support. Its not about some sense of right and wrong, its that they like what CFA stands for, and the groups that they support.

City officials are recommending the City Council deny the appeal.

Based on the article I think they will approve the project. One member of the council states she doesn't agree with their position but would not make her decision based on it. And an attorney for the Pacific Justice Institute notes its illegal for cities to make zoning restrictions around beliefs deemed politically incorrect.

So much for liberal tolerance. If they build it I guess I might have to pedal down there and meet Repubocrat for a sandwich. Wouldn't want to get fat.

Speakman acknowledged Cathy is entitled to his views under the First Amendment and that council members cannot simply reverse the permit approvals because they disagree with him. For that reason, he said, the appeal focuses on the restaurant's environmental impacts.

The appeal claims the drive-thru will make El Camino Real more hazardous to bicyclists and pedestrians. In addition, three heritage trees would have to be removed to make way for a sign and a nearby apartment complex would be subject to exhaust and noise from idling cars.

Perhaps you would like to read the actual story before calling someone else an idiot?

At least this man understands the relevant laws, which is why he and a group of residents lodged an appeal that has nothing to do with a 'social basis' (whatever that's supposed to mean)

I just drove past the proposed site. It was a Sizzler. The building adjacent is a Halloween super store. Up the road is a Carl's Jr drive-thru. Up at San Antonio they are working on a major project which includes a relocated Safeway and a large multi-story office complex.

Up and down El Camino is nothing but commercial. His assertion is silly. There are drive-thrus everywhere.

The article I read was in the Daily Post and it didn't mention the same details as the Merc.

It does mention he raised the $1,000 for the appeal filing by asking for donations online.
