El Coyote manager steps down over Prop 8

Frontiers magazine learned Saturday Marjorie Christoffersen is stepping down as a manager at the Los Angeles restaurant El Coyote. Bill Schoeppner, a fellow manager at El Coyote who has been with the restaurant for 26 years, told Frontiers Christoffersen was also resigning as a member of El Coyote's board of directors.

"She no longer works here," Schoeppner said on Saturday. "She just told me tonight."

Christoffersen created a firestorm of controversy for the 77-year-old L.A. institution after local blogs broke the news she had donated $100 to the Yes on Proposition 8 campaign. Long a popular destination for the LGBT community for its cheap Mexican food and generous Margaritas, El Coyote found itself the target of boycotts and demonstrations after Christoffersen's donation went public. In a press conference hosted by the restaurant days after the news of the donation broke, Christoffersen tried to explain her donation did not have to do with animus for gay and lesbian people, but was instead tied to her Mormon faith. Christoffersen did not apologize for the donation and did not indicate she would support any No on 8 organization.

This crap is getting old, really fast, making people lose their jobs is just wrong. Lets play a game..

If you work for a company that is in the process of trying to get a major contact with another company which would ensure that company a would make billions, but company-b tells company-a, that they would not give the contract to them if they support gays rights, would company A still sign on the line.. ??????????, You beat your ass they would. its all the money$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. Yes this point would not be in the contact at all. Still I bet Company A would stop supporting gay rights if it was doing so already, and if they were thinking about it, they wouldn't now, why you ask? It because of this $$$$$$$$$$$$$$

WE NEED TO LEAVE THOSE WHO VOTED YES ON 8 THE HELL ALONE AND MOVE, BECAUSE WE ARE GETTING A BAD NAME......
