Complaint filed against franchise by Transgender Legal Defense & Education Fund
NEW YORK, December 7, 2009 – A complaint has been filed with the Florida Commission on Human Relations against a McDonald’s ‘restaurant’ in Orlando by the Transgender Legal Defense & Education Fund for refusing to hire 17-year-old Zikerria Bellamy because she is transgender.
On July 10, 2009, Ms. Bellamy applied online for a job at a McDonald’s restaurant in Orlando. On July 28, after managers at McDonald’s learned that Zikerria is transgender, she received a voicemail message from one of the managers telling her: “You will not get hired. We do not hire faggots.”
Ms. Bellamy was never allowed to interview for a job.
“I just wanted to earn to some money and was willing to work hard at this job,” Ms. Bellamy said this morning.
