HELLO MyTSDY friends.
Please read and then do what you can to protest..
Remember you are loved....DEE (*)
The Cendant Corporation, which franchises thousands of hotels and motels
across
North America, has issued a new;Controversial Guest; policy that
discriminates
against people on the basis of sexual expression.;Controversial Guests; are
groups that seek
to rent their facilities for private conventions for consenting adults, and
could include sexual
expression activities such as cross-dressing, swinging and sadomasochism.
If you're
controversial, you're not welcome. Cendant has warned franchisees--
including Ramada,
Howard Johnson, Days Inn, Travelodge, Wingate Inn and Super 8-- they could
lose their
franchise licenses if they allow these groups to hold events in their
establishments.
Self-proclaimed; national interest groups; run by religious political
extremists find alternative
sexual expression by consenting adults objectionable to their anti-sex
agenda. Groups such as
the Concerned Women For America have pressured the Cendant Corporation to
issue the
;controversial guest policy; or face retaliatory action in the U.S.

prejudice and
discrimination by signing our website petition. Go to our webpage:

travelodge
hi,
Cendant corp is an evil hospitality giant, and they are also in the
information tech, and software business. Cendant has never defended it's
employees from on the job harrassment, sexual abuse, and termination.
Cendant has also pulled a franchise, and sued the franchisee, under the
guise of "quality assurance" when they are really doing this because there
is a TRANSSEXUAL (namely me) at the front desk of a hojo that was a flagship
of the chain for over 30 years. even money doesn't fight bigotry like that.
