Chicago alderman to block Chick-fil-A expansion; Rick Santorum kids 'like Chick-fil-A sauce on everything!'

BY DON BABWIN, ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO -- A Chicago alderman, angered by the president of Chick-fil-A's comments that he is against gay marriage, said he will block the company from building a restaurant in his ward.

Alderman Joe Moreno said Wednesday that unless the company comes up with a written anti-discrimination policy, Chick-fil-A will not open its first free-standing restaurant in the city as it plans to do.

"They have nothing on the books that says they do not discriminate and they are open to everyone," said Moreno, whose ward is on the northwest side. "I want to see that policy before they go forward."

Moreno's comments follow an interview that Chick-fil-A President Dan Cathy gave to the Baptist Press in which he said he was "guilty as charged" in support of what he called the biblical definition of a family.

Also, Rick Santorum posted two tweets Wednesday about how much his family loves Chick-fil-A.
