A McDonald’s in Orlando, FL refused to hire a 17 year old youth once they found out she was transgender. The person who interviewed Zikerria Bellamy not only refused to hire her but went as far as to leave a very offensive and vile message on her machine stating that they “don’t hire faggots”.

Florida permits discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity, so as of today what this manager did at McDonald’s is not illegal. However, the Florida Human Rights Act prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex and disability. Perhaps the state will step up to the plate and make this right. I am awaiting news as to what, if anything, will happen with the clown whose behavior was entirely inappropriate and hateful.
