Macy’s fires Catholic employee for questioning transgender bathroom policy

FLUSHING, New York, July 21, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) – Macy’s department store has fired a Catholic employee because he questioned their transgender bathroom policy, even though he says he told his employer he would enforce the policy.

Back in May, Javier Chavez, a senior store detective at Macy’s Flushing, New York, location got a phone call about a male accessing the ladies room along with a female.

A female customer and her daughter were afraid to enter the restroom due the male’s presence there, and a security guard reporting to Chavez directed the man to leave and use the men’s room. The man left, claiming to be a female, before then complaining to the store officials about being asked to leave.

Chavez was later informed by a Macy’s assistant store manager that certain males can use the ladies restroom, something he had not been made aware of prior to the incident. Then an assistant security manager told Chavez that transgender individuals can use the bathroom of their choosing.

Chavez responded that he had just become aware of the policy. He said it was contrary to his religion and the Bible, but said that even so, he would enforce Macy’s policy.

I wasn’t aware Macy’s was still in business. They shut down their store in my town not long after they kicked Trump’s men’s clothing line out.

Hopefully, Macy's had them arrested and prosecuted for their hatefulness.

Wrongful Termination due to private thoughts! I really hope he finds someone skilled to take his case. This is ridiculous. Department stores are already losing revenue to online shopping as is. Now they seek to hobble their earning opportunities even further based on ‘thought crimes’.
The Soviets never had it so good during the Cold War.

All the Macy’s near me are closing. It’s partly because of the trend of brick-and-mortar stores going under in favor of on-line shopping, but it’s also cr@p like this.

Macy’s lost my business many moons ago when the genius who runs them dumped Trump merchandise.

Was about to point that out! Lol. So Macy’s maybe did her a favor. She can cash out now and get another job before they go kaput.

They won’t be needing a transgender bathroom policy much longer.
