Zikkeria Bellamy
A major fast food restaurant may be in trouble for alleged discrimination against a transgendered individual.
Zikkeria Bellamy, a male who has been living as a female for 6 years, was granted an interview by McDonald's and then allegedly denied the interview once she arrived.
She said that the fast food chain's manager called him and left a message stating, "We don't hire {expletive}."
Regardless, a trangendered person doesn not deserve to be discriminated against, and the lawsuits will surely catch up with large corporations if they try to deny employment due to transgender.
The unemployment rate is 10.2% and I need to know why our country is not creating and keeping jobs? Could it be our shift to a service economy from a manufacturing base? Could it be massive outsourcing? What about the remarkable number of manufacturing jobs overseas?
Is Obama to blame?
