Seattle Mall Needs Lesson In Non-Discrimination
Larry Craig?s not the only person getting nabbed in the toilet. Seattle?s Pacific Place came under fire earlier this week after a security guard booted two male-to-female trannies from the ladies loo.
Two transgender individuals attending a weekend conference in Seattle were kicked out of a men?s bathroom at Pacific Place and then ejected from the downtown mall in what could become a significant test involving transgender people under the state?s year-old gay-rights law.
?I don?t think straight people can truly understand the gravity of what this means emotionally,? said Sean, one of the two. He and the other man, his friend Simon, both asked that their last names not be used.
?Peeing is basic,? Sean said. ?Anyone who feels a need to use a bathroom should be able to do so without someone rapping on the stall while your pants are down around your ankle.?
Too true.
