What’s better than a single rainbow?

Yellow Vest is the new Pink Triangle

The Advocate reports that Fernando Gallardo, a seasonal worker at a Walmart in Vegas, was forced to wear a yellow vest because he is gay, enduring humiliation and alienation from his co-workers. Pink triangles, anyone? Read the story here.

The Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) system is “updating” its non-discrimination policy to create a loophole that would allow GLBT people to be fired, or not even hired to begin with, based solely on their orientation or gender identity.

The “update” was proposed by Raymond Noah at Tuesday night’s closed board meeting. Here’s what it says:

“DART is committed to hiring, promoting and retaining the best qualified persons in all positions and, EXCEPT to the extent permitted by federal and/or Texas law, DART will not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, age, disability, genetic information, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity or any other characteristic protected by law.”

I added the bold and all caps to the word except, ‘cuz here’s the thing: in Texas, it is permitted to discriminate against LGBT people! So, basically, what I’m hearing is “we won’t discriminate unless we’re allowed to, and we are allowed to, so we’re gonna go ahead and do it.”

Fuck you, DART! Fix this shit NOW!

Nothing like a diagram to make sense of the senselessness. Kinda reminds me of that Protect Marriage, Prohibit Divorce spot from awhile back.

No Service for “Gay” Dogs

So let’s say you’re a guide dog, just minding your own business, trying to do your job and get some thai food, and this is the junk you have to put up with…

(From the Daily Mail) “An Australian restaurant has been fined after turning a blind customer away because they thought his guide dog was gay… Staff had misheard the woman with Mr Jolly, and believed that his ‘guide dog’ Nudge was in fact a ‘gay dog’.” Read more

Since the incident Nudge has declined to comment on the details of his sexual orientation.
