Cenk talks to Chicago Alderman Proco “Joe” Moreno about why he agreed to stop blocking Chick-fil-A from opening a franchise in his district. “I think it’s a big step for the community,” Moreno says. “Is it the end game? No. It’s not.” Though Chick-fil-A has distributed a statement to franchises that clarifies they should not discriminate against employees or customers who are gay, the company has not confirmed — as they wrote to Moreno — that they would stop donating to anti-gay organizations through their nonprofit foundation. Cenk asks, “Why won’t they come out clearly when the press asked them, ‘Hey, is that it, you’re not giving [money] to these groups any more?’ They give very vague answers. Is that a point of concern?” Moreno says, “It isn’t for me personally, because I’ve met with them, but I can see why it was. … It’s their policy not to say anything, and I don’t understand that.”
