Liberal Intolerance #110: Restaurant Employee Forced To Apologize For Donating $100 to Prop 8

Written by: Evrviglnt on Friday, November 14th, 2008

Michelle Malkin breaks another outrage related to the victory of the same-sex marriage ban in California – and if anyone is still wondering who in this country is a threat to freedom, look no further than the pink fascists that are hunting down those who dare disagree with them.  A manager at the restaurant El Coyote in Hollywood was ‘outed’ as a proposition 8 supporter by her $100 contribution to the proposition 8 campaign that amended the California Constitution to define marriage as limited to one man and one woman.  For exercising her right to participate in the political process, she felt she had to have a public meeting to explain her action to a throng of angry gays there to confront her.  She showed great courage.  Read the description of what happened:

In a dramatic, closed door lunch meeting, the owner (actually the daughter of the owners – ed) of a renowned Mexican eatery in Hollywood expressed regret in her decision to donate $100 to the “Yes on Prop 8? campaign, but her remarks before a group of about 60 members of Los Angeles’ LGBT community fell short of an outright personal apology.

“I’m sick of heart that I’ve offended anyone in the gay community,” said Marjorie Christofferson, co-owner of El Coyote Mexican Cafe for 17 years. “I have had, and do have family, friends, and people I work with of course who are gay…and you are treasured people to me.”

The tall, frail Christofferson stood in the center of the group. She appeared to be shaking during her prepared remarks which lasted about 3 minutes. Two young female family members flanked her to prevent her from fainting, according to a restaurant employee. At several points during her speech, Christofferson simply became too emotional to continue.

It makes me want to pick up a bat and express myself.

Christofferson, who is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, insisted that her donation was personal, and reflected her religious faith.

“I’ve been a member of the Mormon Church all my life,” she said. “This was a personal donation. In like fashion, any employee here would be free to donate, worship or support anything of their personal choosing. Over the Coyote has financially supported many charities and thousands of dollars most particularly have been given to the gay interests and charities. The restaurant does not support any political group.”

In the only question taken by Ms. Christofferson after her remarks, and before those gathered, I asked her directly if she would personally make an equal donation to the campaigns to repeal Proposition 8.

“I cannot change a lifetime of faith,” she said.

Moments later, the same group which had been invited for lunch and margaritas grew increasingly verbal, apparently reacting to the lack of a direct apology from Ms. Christofferson, and she left the building in tears.  The group continued to meet for another 30 minutes, before dispersing for what appeared to be a looming boycott. One demonstrator was already shouting outside.

Violence.  Intimidation.  Racism.  I think we’ve seen all we need to.  The gay revolutionaries are keen to prove themselves a menace, regurgitating fanciful memories of the Stonewall riots – I say let’s give them a stage to dance on.  No one can ever say again that the gay community represents a rainbow faith of tolerance and love – it’s a blood red stain of bigotry and rage loosed upon anyone that dare raise up against it’s thuggish tactics.  The first we can do as decent Americans is support those who are under attack by this mob.  The second we can do is make sure they never get the legitimization they are demanding.

More from the L.A. Times: By Thursday, Christoffersen had left town, said Archila, who said El Coyote employees — some of whom are gay — were left staggered by the protests, including more than 50 calls a day criticizing the restaurant.
