A restaurant chain is facing a lawsuit regarding a Harlem restaurant staff's refusal to serve a group of transgender woman and a gender nonconforming person.
Deja Smith, Daniele Marino, Jonovia Chase, Jahmila Adderley and Valerie Spencer claim they were told the Texas Burgers & Chicken on Frederick Douglass Boulevard and West 116th Street was out of chicken when they attempted to order there on May 28, but a customer directly behind them had his order taken, according to multiple reports.
A video of the discriminatory behavior went viral in May after it was posted to Instagram by "Orange is the New Black" star Laverne Cox, the Daily News reported. Lawyers representing the plaintiffs argued that the Texas Chicken & Burgers staff "tried to oppress the self-expression of Deja, Mila, Dee, Jenovia, and Valerie," the Daily News reported.
The group announced it would be suing the fast food chain last week during a press conference outside the Stonewall Inn in Greenwich Village, New York 1 reported.
"It's just not fair, honestly we didn't deserve that we just wanted to go and grab something to eat and go back to our apartment," Marino said, as reported by NY1.

Looks like a picture of the democrat congressional leadership
” a customer directly behind them had his order taken”
First off, how dare they assume it was a “him”.
Second, maybe that guy didn’t order chicken.
I personally am not conforming to all this gender option explosion.
It would have been racist to serve fried chicken to the blacks. Just look what happened to Fuzzy when he suggested fried chicken to Eldrick Tont Woods.
I think they are the cast of “Freaks”, an old movie.
Maybe they should just go over to MacDowell’s in Queens.
There was a wheelchair bound guy who would purposely visit restaurants, fast food joints, and businesses that had not FULLY complied with the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA). He would sue and ‘settle’ for thousands of dollars. In the end it his mode of generating cash. Creepozoids All.
I owned a restaurant in Florida.
The first sign on the front door:
I reserve the right to refuse
service to ANYONE. It was mainly
for those who were inebriated, but
one of those drunks filed suit.
I won....
This sounds plausible. The clerk might have said, "We're out of that," and the group freaked and went ballistic. I find it difficult to believe a clerk at a fast food joint would otherwise fail to fill the order.
What the heck is that? Does it mean that any tool/animal/object that does the trick is acceptable?
Liberals are the undisciplined children out of “Boundaries with Kids”. They don’t respect boundaries others set but consider boundaries others set a personal affront akin to violence.
They can tell you no and they’re so special/sacred that it is a sin to disobey their edict or tell them they’re wrong. If you tell them no, you’re invalidating their selves, crushing them, an act akin to killing them.
I find it difficult to believe a clerk at a fast food joint would otherwise fail to fill the order.
Exactly. Most clerks would fill the order as quickly as possible to just get the freaks out of the restaurant.
Soon, very soon, people will run afoul of the law for turning down a “transgender” date. They’re already rattling that saber.
