Yet Another Proposition 8 Supporter Blacklist – Long Beach Edition
The site includes details about business owners and employees who donated to the Yes on Proposition 8 campaign (including at least one Google map). One big target in Long Beach has been the owner of numerous El Pollo Loco franchises. This can be a problem if you like that chicken. As one commenter on the website said: “This one is the saddest for me as WKS Restaurant group owns most of the El Pollo Loco franchises (over 50) in So Cal and several Denny’s and Corner Bakery Cafe’s in CA, AZ, and Utah. El Pollo Loco is one of my favorite restaurants. I am working on the locations so I know which ones I can’t go to anymore …”
Yet another blacklist to deter donors to the next attempt (likely in 2010) to legalize gay marriage in California.
Exit question: What kind of damage is the gay rights community doing to their movement by vindictively attempting to control the thoughts of California voters?

In response to your note, we would like to clarify that all 31 of our Corner Bakery Cafe locations in California are company-owned and operated by CBC Restaurant Corp. CBC Restaurant Corp. has not taken a position in the Proposition 8 legislation. To further clarify, WKS is a franchisee of Corner Bakery Cafe and does not have any open cafes to date. Per their development agreement, WKS will not be opening or operating any stores in California. I appreciate your reaching out to us directly and allowing us the opportunity to correct any misinformation about our California locations. Thank you. Diana Hovey, SVP Marketing Corner Bakery Cafe
