bravo. this is the same reason i will not ever , ever ,ever step into a dennys . because of their bigotry. When i was a kid mom ,i , and the fam went to my grandmothers for christmas. we wated over an hour to get a waitress attention. the wait staff seated a single man and then a "traditional family" (read husband and wife w kids) then a single black man. we left, and i only go on to a dennys property under diress . good for her to stick to her morals

I didn't like giving them my phone number, but it is just a small inconvience in order to let them know exactly how I feel.

Well a note in the video anyway, acknowledging she is wrong. I guess she's hung out with the kind of company I keep... my employer is a financial one (yeah you can say boo hiss credit card company if you like). It has to abide by certain federal banking regulations - Regulation B is one... and it details certain classes of people that the company cannot discriminate against in its credit lending decisions - came about because of the Civil Rights Act, and it's the financial industry's way of implementing the law. However, my employer adds extra categories where we cannot discriminate. This includes gender identity and sexual orientation. It just makes good business sense not to discriminate. Come to think of it maybe the government should get Regulation B amended to add in these classes. I believe our major competitors include their extra categories in their company policies anyway. If done on a formal basis, then I guess the phrase is "follow the money".

I know I'm rambling but thanks for listening.
