This may seem like a small victory, but it's an important one.

After discovering American Eagle Outfitters had an anti-LGBT policy on "personal appearance" for their employees requiring folks to wear gender-specific clothing, Attorney General Andrew Cuomo and workers' rights group Make the Road have pushed the store to include trans-friendly policies at the chain -- and have won. Now not only will the 2,000 employees in the 61 stores across New York be allowed to wear whatever they damn well please, but will also be given trainings on transgender issues.
