BIGOT BELL: Censorship

Bigot Bell : The Corporate Entity Strikes Back ! #censorship

Connecting Rainbows asks people to join the effort to isolate and boycott companies that are willfully discriminating against LGBT employees -- these companies need to be told that consumers are willing to become activists, pick up a metaphorical bullhorn, and yell back in acts of civil disobedience, until these companies comply with their very own "supposed" non-discrimination policies.

Yum! Brands will rather hide behind copyright law to ATTACK Connecting Rainbows, but Yum! Brands won't enforce non-discrimination to PROTECT the employees at Taco Bell restaurants ! Note how lawyers for Yum! Brands make a promise that the free speech content is not in jeopardy on BigotBell.com, but that is not what actions Yum! Brands abide by, as indicated by the actions to be taken by Network Solutions. In essence, Yum! Brands is saying that it values its logo more than the health and safety of its own LGBT employees.

Taco Bell : Stop discrimination against LGBTQ employees !

A Yum! Brands Employee at Taco Bell in Louisiana is Dismissed Because He is Gay.

Taco Bell Needs Cultural Competency Training.

The LGBT civil rights group Connecting Rainbows is calling for a world-wide boycott of Yum! Brands restaurants, which includes KFC, Pizza Hut, and Taco Bell.

Jason Ray Smith, a gay employee of Taco Bell restaurant in Bossier City, Louisiana, was dismissed from work because he was honest about his sexual orientation on his Facebook profile and on his Connecting Rainbows profile.

Members of Connecting Rainbows have started an online petition on Change.org, demanding that Taco Bell institute cultural competency training.

Mr. Smith was told he needed to be taken out to the field and have the gay beaten out of him. When he reported it, Mr. Smith was harassed and intimidated by Taco Bell management.

Mr. Smith said that Taco Bell conditioned his rehiring on Mr. Smith deleting his Facebook account and deleting his Connecting Rainbows profile, which Mr. Smith has said he will NOT do. Sign our petition demanding that Taco Bell follow through on its commitment to diversity.

Taco Bell needs to end unequal treatment of employees.

The Employment Non-Discrimination Act (''ENDA'') is a proposed bill in the United States Congress that would prohibit discrimination against employees on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity by civilian, nonreligious employers with at least 15 employees.

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Pub.L. 88-352, 78 Stat. 241, enacted July 2, 1964) was a landmark piece of legislation in the United States that outlawed major forms of discrimination against blacks and women, including racial segregation. It ended unequal application of voter registration requirements and racial segregation in schools, at the workplace and by facilities that served the general public ("public accommodations"). Powers given to enforce the act were initially weak, but were supplemented during later years. Congress asserted its authority to legislate under several different parts of the United States Constitution, principally its power to regulate interstate commerce under Article One (section 8), its duty to guarantee all citizens equal protection of the laws under the Fourteenth Amendment and its duty to protect voting rights under the Fifteenth Amendment.

Looks like it is time that Congress updated the Civil Rights Act by adding sexual orientation and gender identity to the major forms of discrimination that are outlawed.
