It's responses such as this that make me wish CF-Community had a 'like' button.
Here is what feels 'icky' to me. The Alderman opposed CFA building a store in his ward - but for what reasons? While I oppose what CFA was doing, there were not doing anything illegal. If the proposed store did not violate any zoning laws, there should not have been an issue to begin with. I loathe the anti-gay groups CFA sent money to. I also loathe Eric's against Christians. But I would stand up and fight for both if their freedom to do so was threatened in anyway.
