Alrighty, Rich Men North of Richmond is already discussed in 2 current threads, so I thought I'd toss this up here and refer to it in each, rather than repeating myself. Just my typical crazy random thoughts.
This past Saturday evening in Richmond, VA, a transgender woman named Noony Norwood was shot. She died in a hospital the following morning. Noony had just turned 30 years old.
Transgender 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.
