KFC fires manager for discriminating against transgender worker

photo KFC_zpsj6mvldru.jpgTransgender fast food worker Georgia Carter was hired by a Richmond, Virginia, KFC and fired about an hour later upon discovery that she was trans.

He was like you have got the job. I am going to start you out at $7.50 an hour. It is yours. We are going start you training on the computer tomorrow. It was like 11 to four (o clock).

--Carter

She went home happy, but received a phone call shortly afterward.

He was like my supervisor, and I have a problem because on your license it says male but you’re … I said I’m transgender.

Oh, we can’t hire you because we don’t know which bathroom you can use.

--Carter

In a statement to Eater, KFC chief people officer John Kurnick relayed news of that manager's termination following an internal Yum! Brands inquiry. KFC's franchisee policy bars discrimination based on gender identity or sexual orientation, Kurnick said.

we left before daybreak on a buckskin and a roan
past tall shivering pines where mockingbirds moan
past dark cabin windows where eyes never see
across the blue mountains to the allegheny

The humans are coming apart. Literally. It is like "I Fall To Pieces," or "She's Come Undone." Only worse.

How to defeat Trump

Submitted by gjohnsit on Mon, 02/29/2016 - 7:00pm

Liberals don't realize it yet, but they are poorly equipped to defeat Donald Trump in the general election. Their normal tool of attack - pointing out the moral/ideological flaws of their opponent and shaming him/her - won't work with The Donald because The Donald has no shame.
What's more, Trump's supporters and potential supporters simply don't care that he says racist and misogynist things. It's simply not important to them.
