The home of the largest population of alphabet mafia are reportedly outraged over Chick-fil-A trying to open a new restaurant in Palm Springs.

Here’s more from the New York Post:

Plans by Chick-fil-A to open an outpost in gay-friendly Palm Springs, Calif. sparked intense backlash from angry residents looking keep out the famously devout the company once known for donating to anti-LGBTQ causes.

Matt Robinson, a Palm Springs resident, posted an image on his Facebook account earlier this week showing a sign in front of a small shopping center.

“PROJECT UNDER CONSIDERATION,” read the sign posted in front of 5200 Ramon Road, where Chick-fil-A plans to set up a 5,635 square-foot location with a three-lane drive thru as well as an indoor and outdoor seating area.

Robinson’s post generated more than 460 comments — the overwhelming majority of them negative.

“I prefer my chicken without the side of homophobia,” wrote Facebook user Brown Aneka.

Byron Winward, another Facebook user, said Chick-fil-A was showing “a lot of nerve” to locate one of its restaurants in an area where “11 out of 10 people are queer.”

“As a straight ally I will have to pass,” commented Peggy Killion, who vowed: “I won’t spend one dime there.”

The mayor of Palm Springs pushed back on the outrage he saw on Facebook, suggesting he’s happy that Chick-fil-A is opening a new restaurant:

The backlash prompted the Palm Springs Mayor Jeffrey Bernstein, to write a note of his own on Facebook.

Bernstein said that while the critical comments “have been heard and noted,” he pointed out that Palm Springs “does welcome new businesses and economic development.”

“Any concerns about a particular business should not be generalized,” he wrote.

Bernstein said that Chick-fil-A’s plans to move into Palm Springs are “currently on hold” while “the new tenant and the shopping center owner finalize lease terms.”

Well at least they have the mayor on their side despite the crazy residents there. Chick-fil-A is so popular that I bet, even with this vocal opposition, they chain will do just fine.
