"3 mayors' actions feel about a city in, say, Mississippi refusing outfits like Ikea or KFC permits because they have publically appealed to gays? "

I hope to hell that you don't think that Cathy was appealing to heterosexuals with his talk about arrogance and such. What is arrogant is sticking your "Christian" beliefs into someone else's bedroom.

If the mayor of Jackson Mississippi wanted to ban a fast food company Because the President said people like Cathy should have their reproductive rights abridged until it was assured that they wouldn't pass their hatred onto their children. I would agree and you would have a point you bravely nameless guest.

But if the issue is as you said it is, then the conflict is over. Chick fil A is now publicly appealing to gays. No doubt, in part at least, thanks to the statements of the mayors.
