Subject: BIGOT BELL : Civil Rights Campaign to End LGBT Employment DiscriminaBon Date: Sunday, June 12, 2011 10:11 PM From: Louis Flores <bigotbell@gmail.com> To: <cmende@frosszelnick.com> Cc: <connecDngrainbows.members@gmail.com>

Dear Mr. Mende : Earlier today, I received your leJer, dated as of 24-May-2011, which you sent on behalf of Yum! Brands and Taco Bell. I hope you recognise that this means that members of ConnecDng Rainbows could not have provided to you a reply by seven days from the date of your leJer, as was your request. The LGBT civil rights campaign against Taco Bell over its discriminatory employment pracDces is not an individual eort, but an eort being made by members of ConnecDng Rainbows. As you should know by now, it was a member of ConnecDng Rainbows who was dismissed from his job by Taco Bell, and one of the demands made by the employees then-manager to the dismissed employee was that the enDre ConnecDng Rainbows website had to be taken down. Your leJer refers to the artwork and the content posted on BIGOTBELL.COM, but you make no menDon of how Yum! Brands responds to the demands made by members of ConnecDng Rainbows on behalf of its aected member. As such, members of ConnecDng Rainbows, who are involved in this campaign, will have to discuss and vote on a response to your leJer. Meanwhile, this is the nal week that the New York State legislature can consider marriage equality legislaDon. Since ConnecDng Rainbows is involved in the campaign for marriage equality, the group kindly requests an extension of Dme of seven days from the date of the last day of the current legislaDve session, in order to provide to you with a response. This e-mail may be supplemented by responses, which may be made by other members of ConnecDng Rainbows. Thank you for your understanding. -- Louis Flores (on behalf of ConnecDng Rainbows) bigotbell@gmail.com hJp://connecDngrainbows.ning.com/
