The following letter was sent to Dallas-based Brinker International, parent company of Chili’s Restaurants (and Maggiano’s Little Italy), through Brinker’s and Chili’s’ website contact pages (listed below). For more on the Task Force’s radical “Creating Change” conference, go HERE]:

To Whom It May Concern:
I will no longer be dining at any one of your company’s restaurants. I have learned that Chili’s is a [National Corporate Partner] of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force. They are shown on the Task Force website as a sponsor: http://www.thetaskforce.org/
I will not have my money go to sponsor such an organization, so I will no longer be dining at Chili’s or at any of your restaurants until you cease that sponsorship. I hope you’ll reconsider your sponsorship of this outrageous, reprehensible organization so that I can return to Chili’s in the near future.
Thank you,
Karen Grube
San Diego, California
