Political correctness is no match for a growling stomach.
NYU students flocked to the on-campus Chick-fil-A to chow down yesterday — ignoring gay-rights activists’ calls to boycott the eatery because of its president’s stance against same-sex marriage.
“This is my first time trying it, and it’s delicious. I’m from Michigan, and we don’t have it there. I would have offered you some, but I killed it,” student Cohen Harper, 21, told The Post, flashing an empty chicken-nuggets package.
“Nothing that went on deterred me,” he said of the calls for a boycott, which NYU’s University Senate may take up at its October meeting.
Dylan Cruthers, 18, a psychology student from Long Island, said he couldn’t wait for the fat to start frying at the NYU outlet.
“I was pretty excited about Chick-fil-A. We came as soon as it opened yesterday. We were waiting for it to open for the past 10 days,” Cruthers said. “It’s a good sandwich. I think it’s more the novelty because they don’t have it up here. I’ll be here all the time.”
But some of his dormmates’ minds were made up when they planned a group dinner, Cruthers said.
“One guy was really upset when someone suggested Chick-fil-A. He said, ‘We are absolutely not going to Chick-fil-A!’ ”
