FLUSHING, New York, July 21, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) – Macy’s department store has fired a Catholic employee because he questioned their transgender bathroom policy, even though he says he told his employer he would enforce the policy.
Back in May, Javier Chavez, a senior store detective at Macy’s Flushing, New York, location got a phone call about a male accessing the ladies room along with a female.
A female customer and her daughter were afraid to enter the restroom due the male’s presence there, and a security guard reporting to Chavez directed the man to leave and use the men’s room. The man left, claiming to be a female, before then complaining to the store officials about being asked to leave.
Chavez was later informed by a Macy’s assistant store manager that certain males can use the ladies restroom, something he had not been made aware of prior to the incident. Then an assistant security manager told Chavez that transgender individuals can use the bathroom of their choosing.
Chavez responded that he had just become aware of the policy. He said it was contrary to his religion and the Bible, but said that even so, he would enforce Macy’s policy.
“Macy’s would not leave this alone,” Catholic League President Bill Donohue stated, “and this is where it crossed the line.”
Chavez was then called to a meeting with his human resources manager, who suspended him, and he was subsequently fired.
According to a legal complaint, the retailer terminated Chavez even though he had not previously been made aware that Macy’s allowed transgender individuals to use the bathroom of their choice, and also in spite of the fact Chavez had promised to uphold the policy while working. His case is now before the New York State Division of Human Rights.

Macy’s only wants homosexual customers. Can do!
“Macy’s only wants homosexual customers. Can do!”
Absolutely.
They don’t like the people who object, then the people who object don’t like to go to Macy’s.
Fair enough.
IMHO
Nickcarraway was confused by my statement and took it as an attack on Trump and private emailed me.
What an idiot.
therefore, it would be perfectly fine to fire any employees questioning Christianity or anything Trump says
turn about is fair play
It was an attack on Trump.
I guess that women can just either “lay down and take it” in regards to the transgender policy, or they can start protesting a make this a national Women’s rights and safety issue.
So many Americans truly believe in the “transgendered”; many may not even know what one its.
RH Macy is rolling over in his grave. Overprice junk...at his store now...a shame
The immorality of the victim hierarchy is that it puts some above others in rights.
The Colorado Civil Rights Commission ruled last year, in the same week, without any sense of irony:
* a homosexual business can refuse to print / make traditional marriage stuff because of their right to refuse alternative political viewpoints - in short, if they disagree with it, First Amendment protections
* if a Christian owner refused based on religious reasons, it is illegal discrimination against a protected class, must provide service or get sued and shut down
It is viewpoint discrimination against views based on morality, though we all know that if they said Koran-based versus Bible based, it would have been likelier to be tolerated.
they only fire christians, not muslims.
I guess we won’t be shopping at Macy’s either.
Let the stock drop like a bomb.
Or, they could stop voting for the politicians that push for this.
Yes
