What If McDonald's Followed the Advice of Its 'Gay' Ally?

By Peter LaBarbera



The following is adapted from my talk at the press conference Wednesday outside of McDonald's corporate headquarters:

If McDonald's restaurants and franchises were required to follow the small business advice of the company's new homosexual partner – the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC), which received a $20,000 grant from McDonald's – there would be chaos, since the "gay" business group advises:

    Permit the [transsexual/cross-dressing] transitioning employee to use restrooms that correspond to his or her full-time gender presentation, regardless of where the individual is in the transitioning process.*

In other words, if a "transgender man" or, say, employee at a McDonald's believes his supposed "gender" is really a woman, so he wears a dress and high heels, he should be able to use the female restroom. That surely would do wonders for the productivity and workplace environment of female employees and customers at a small business, including all those local McDonald's franchises! (And imagine the cost to franchises if they were required to build a special "transgender" restroom to accommodate the gender-confused.)
