[DOC] Press Release [regarding alleged sexual orientation discrimination by Coca-Cola FEMSA]

I’m Roberto Mendoza, for seven years I was an executive at Coca Cola FEMSA, in México and Costa Rica. For assuming my homosexuality and protecting my partner’s integrity I was degraded, threatened and harassed, forcing me to resign. The reason to exclude me from the company as explained by the Bottlers’ Human Resources Corporate Director, Mr. Eulalio Cerda-Delgadillo, was "... while I am head of HR for this Company, I will not have a faggot as one of its’ Directors".
