Protesters repeatedly shouted “shame” at customers who were lined up to purchase food from the restaurant.
In response to yesterday’s protests, Canadian evangelical Christian leader Charles McVety said the Jesus in the City parade would make a stop outside Chick-fil-A to say a prayer for their freedom and security.
McVety said as each float passed Chick-fil-A on Yonge Street, they stopped for a moment to say a prayer.
“We are front of Chick-fil-A we are praying for freedom,” McVety told CTV News Toronto on Saturday.
“There is no reason why a business should be driven out of the city.”
“We must have equality and we must have freedom.”
“Some people don’t want Christians to have a place in a society and think we should be quiet. But no, we are not going to be quiet.”
“They tried to shut Chick-fil-A down in America and it’s risen to number three behind McDonalds and Starbucks and it’s going to do the same thing in Canada because it’s good chicken delivered with a smile.”
