Chick-fil-A Might Be Coming To Boston, But Is It Welcome?

As The Huntington News, Northeastern University's student newspaper, reports, the fast food chain Chick-fil-A is in talks with the school to open the franchise's only Boston location at the school.  

The chain is controversial because because it donates millions of dollars to groups that are considered anti-gay, including $994,199 dollars in 2009 to the Marriage & Family Legacy Fund, a group that supports "traditional marriage," as well as funds to Exodus International, a group that believes GLBT folks can be "cured" by religion, the Family Research Council, and Focus On The Family. 

It also has controversial hiring policies, including a belief mentioned in a Forbes article on the chain that married workers are "more industrious and productive." 

The Forbes article also states that "Family members of prospective operators--children, even--are frequently interviewed so Cathy [S. Truett Cathy, Chick-fil-A's CEO] and his family can learn more about job candidates and their relationships at home," and that Cathy would fire an operator who "has been sinful."
