Brian Brown goes after NY Councilman Daniel Dromm over Chick-Fil-A

So, here's a fun story for you.

NY City Councilman Daniel Dromm was told that Chick-Fil-A has plans to come to NYC. Well, he wasn't feeling that and said:
We don't need bigots coming to New York City. They are not welcome here unless they can embrace all of New York's diverse community, including the LGBT community. [...] We don't need bigoted people even keeping their opinions to themselves. They need to wake up and see reality.
Granted Chick-Fil-A is changing their ways, but that doesn't matter to Daniel.

So once this got out, NOM's Shoney's Boy Brian Brown lost it and wrote a post about it on his blog. He said:
"Stay out of New York City. That is effectively the message that a City Councilman named Daniel Dromm has sent to you, me, and millions of pro-marriage Americans — including the millions who already live in the city that never sleeps. And none of us, least of all New Yorkers, can allow ourselves to remain silent about it. What spurred Dromm's remarks? The announcement that Chick-fil-A had plans to expand its operations into New York City. Dromm is one of those intolerant few who still cling bitterly to a misremembered moment in 2012 when Chick-fil-A CEO Dan Cathy was reported in the press expressing his personal belief that marriage is the union of a man and a woman. In Dromm's and others' imaginations, this meant that Chick-fil-A was an 'anti-gay company' and that Cathy and the many thousands who work for him deserve punishment." 
Brian is trying to raise money off this non-drama, but hopefully, it won't get him much.
