BOYCOTT EL COYOTE (LA)- owner donated in support of prop. 8!

[madmadmad]

i received an email today, alerting me that marjorie christofferson, owner of el coyote mexican restaurant (a los angeles landmark with a SIZABLE gay following), donated $100.00 in support of prop. 8, and that a boycott has been called for. i am sickened by this as el coyote's gay clientele has been incredibly faithful to the restaurant, and provided marjorie with a significant portion of her income. marjorie admits to making the donation at the request of the mormon church, of which she is a member and her donation is also verifiable through the los angeles times. el coyote will soon be issuing a statement regarding her donation in frontiers magazine, a los angeles glbt weekly.

she is having a meeting at the restaurant tomorrow to (in her words):"allow me to personally speak with you." i'll be attending- not that i believe she can justify or apologize for her contribution- and will let the upshot of the meeting be known on the original thread in the glbt forum:

4. Damn...

I used to love that place back when I lived in L.A. I was planning on going there the first night any time I returned to visit. Obviously, now...not a snowball's chance in hell!
