To: Kiss 98.5 WKSE Buffalo & Tantra Nightclub We, the undersigned, are hereby signing this petition in support of a boycott of both KISS 98.5 (WKSE) radio stations and its affiliations as long as TANTRA nightclub (153 Delaware Ave., Buffalo NY). The reason for boycotting Kiss 98.5 is mainly due in fact that they both play advertisements for Tantra as well as have some of their DJ\'s play there. Tantra, since opening, has been outright discriminatory against the gay community. Gay people have been kicked out of there and all gay employees that worked there before the re-vamp (the change from cobalt to tantra) were fired. Some were just left messages telling them their services were no longer needed, others kicked out of the club when trying to talk to management, and some told that \"now that it\'s straight, they don\'t want \'the gays\' here.\" In a place where the owners/mgmt. always said \"moneys, money... no matter who spends it\" it is reprehensible that they are treating people this way now that the proverbial \"shoe is on the other foot.\" Therefore, we the undersigned, will no longer listen to Kiss 98.5 until the \"Tantra\" ads are removed; nor will we ever patronize the bar itself.

The momentum is undeniable. This is a clear rejection of discrimination in our city.

so gross. people should be able to go out and have a good time without being fired or kicked out for who they are. never going back there.
