Lesbian chased out of NYC bathroom settles suit

NEW YORK—A popular restaurant has agreed to pay $35,000 to settle a lawsuit with a lesbian who said a bouncer chased her out of the women's bathroom and forced her to leave because she looked masculine.

The Transgender Legal Defense and Education Fund announced the settlement Tuesday on behalf of Khadijah Farmer.

The Caliente Cab Company, while denying the allegations, also agreed to add gender identity to its nondiscrimination policy, amend its employee handbook with a section on customer restroom use and adopt a gender-neutral employee dress code.

Farmer said the confrontation at the Greenwich Village eatery occurred June 24 after she attended New York City's annual Gay Pride march.

"We believe the changes implemented will serve all the members of the community well in the years to come," the company said in a news release.

I guess there's no hope then of keeping male cross-dressers out of the Ladies Rooms? My wife has run into this on more than 1 occasion.

Sodomites need to validate their perversion.

That’s why we see these kinds of misjustices.

This is unbelievable. She goes out of her way to look like a man, and then sues when someone believes she is a man.

Disgusting.

Looks like Giuliani and Bloomberg can use the men's room now.

Normally, bull dykes are very aggressive due to their male role identity. They’ll launch on anyone who actually believes that they are what they dress and pretend to be.

Okay, let's get this, er, straight:

Yes, it all makes perfect sense.

How convenient to leave out the fact this eatery had probably been overrun all day by all and sundry types of sexually perverted people, many of which probably don't know which bathroom to use.

Would like to hear the judge tell it: "We don't call it a society because it is all about you."

Sounds like a great formula for extortion to me, and sure enough, it actually worked.

I worked at a large defunct MA computer company back in the late 70’s where a large number of Lesbians worked as Assemblers. Monday morning was a sight when they would come in and show the scars of what happens when they think a guy or another girl was looking at their girlfriend.

I stopped taking my girls to the WNBA games here in San Antonio because of all the truly scary looking “couples” wandering around with chips on their shoulders.

And what would a customer have done if a man that looked exactly like that would hang out in the ladies’ restroom without the management running him out? - they would have sued.

These things are what this lawsuit was all about and designed to accomplish in the first place. This was never, ever, about this bitch being thrown out of the ladies room.

I predict urinals will start appearing in “Ladies Rooms” shortly.

You could dress that up like Shirley Temple all you wanted and it wouldn’t help.

Much like Rome, we are witnessing the decline and (self) destruction of an empire.

I am not saying Pres. Bush is playing the part of ‘Nero’, and in fact, I will say the ‘silent majority’ IS. If we really wanted to put a stop to this type of crap, we could, and we would.
