South Dakota teen claims manager forced him to wear �Gaytard� name tag at fast food job [View all] Playinghardball Jun 2014 OP

Seems like about 99% of all restaurant-related outrages turn out to be hoaxes Dreamer Tatum Jun 2014 #1

Oh my gosh yeoman6987 Jun 2014 #28

That would be good advice. Louisiana1976 Jun 2014 #32

That's North Dakota, and not even the whole state jmowreader Jun 2014 #36

Thank you for the update yeoman6987 Jun 2014 #37

I have even more of an update, and this one's really ugly jmowreader Jun 2014 #38

Where the hell are you getting your salary liberalhistorian Jun 2014 #53

You might be thinking of North Dakota yeoman6987 Jun 2014 #65

I, too, will wait and see liberalhistorian Jun 2014 #55

Not a hoax marym625 Sep 2014 #72

If true, it is perfectly legal to treat a Gay employee like scum randys1 Jun 2014 #2

Needs a 'sarcasm' thingie. Unless you're serious. Shrike47 Jun 2014 #3

in South Dakota? leftcoastloon Jun 2014 #4

i said it was perfectly LEGAL randys1 Jun 2014 #5

Obama just issued an executive order barring LGBT harassment in the workplace. Initech Jun 2014 #11

Is that only in federal workplaces? I dont remember (or federal contractors) randys1 Jun 2014 #14

Yeah I think it was just for federal employees. Initech Jun 2014 #15

Agreed...Look, this is pretty simple randys1 Jun 2014 #16

I can not agree with you that all anti gay Americans are white. Because that is not true. Bluenorthwest Jun 2014 #23

I didnt mean to say that, i meant to include others but that most on the right are randys1 Jun 2014 #24

It's a very hateful country in many areas/people, against all types of RKP5637 Jun 2014 #54

But it is off topic. It is legal in 29 States to openly discriminate against LGBT people in Bluenorthwest Jun 2014 #18

The topic doesn't draw as much outrage as it should. From heterosexuals at least. nomorenomore08 Jun 2014 #41

he didn't sign it yet, and johnnypneumatic Jun 2014 #30

no, the exec order bars discrimination - harassment is something else TorchTheWitch Jun 2014 #40

Yet it seems like even now, both the letter and spirit of the law are frequently ignored. nomorenomore08 Jun 2014 #42

and so it goes with pretty much any worker whatever the reason TorchTheWitch Jun 2014 #46

Quite true, many employees are just a piece of meat with a number. Many companies don't give a RKP5637 Jun 2014 #59

That's just for federal employees. n/t RKP5637 Jun 2014 #52

That is only for federal workplaces. liberalhistorian Jun 2014 #56

He's seriouos. There is no protection for this young man in that County in South Dakota. MohRokTah Jun 2014 #6

It would be nice to have a place we could go to here at DU to see which states randys1 Jun 2014 #8

I use Wikipedia MohRokTah Jun 2014 #9

Another example is Colorado MohRokTah Jun 2014 #10

Here's the full Map of Shame. Most of the US actually Bluenorthwest Jun 2014 #19

Amazing, supports my comment that tens of millions of Americans hate Gays randys1 Jun 2014 #20

The sad part is Straight people do not even know this. They don't care. Bluenorthwest Jun 2014 #22

Um the non straight person above you didn't know it. Egnever Jun 2014 #49

When I was a kid if they thought you were gay you could be sent to a mental institution RKP5637 Jun 2014 #58

Sad to say, however, liberalhistorian Jun 2014 #57

What an asshole. nt clarice Jun 2014 #7

Yeah. Sure he did. alphafemale Jun 2014 #12

Not a hoax marym625 Sep 2014 #71

I hope this is yet another hoax REP Jun 2014 #13

Based on the video, he kept the actual tag. LisaL Jun 2014 #17

which means nothing according to the company's story TorchTheWitch Jun 2014 #47

This would be legal in his State and County. Straight folks demand anti gay laws in 29 States Bluenorthwest Jun 2014 #21

Why are you attacking DU'ers? WinkyDink Jun 2014 #25

Quoting anti gay posters is just quoting them. Bluenorthwest Jun 2014 #26

That poster is not me. Replying to me is misleading. REP Jun 2014 #35

I replied to Winky Dink who lashed out. I did not reply to you. Bluenorthwest Jun 2014 #69

Reply #21 is to me REP Jun 2014 #70

"A poster"? As in one? WinkyDink Jun 2014 #51

Better question: Why are there posters on DU who are denying the struggles of LGBTQ persons Maedhros Jun 2014 #29

Excellent question. Too bad it'll never get a substantive answer (because there isn't one). nomorenomore08 Jun 2014 #43

I wouldn't know, without seeing evidence. WinkyDink Jun 2014 #50

Anyone can join DU, so often one has no idea where the poster(s) is coming from. Some RKP5637 Jun 2014 #60

not buying it TorchTheWitch Jun 2014 #27

This whole episode shows the immaturity of the manager SoCalDem Jun 2014 #31

True. Louisiana1976 Jun 2014 #33

which manager? TorchTheWitch Jun 2014 #34

I am not buying that explanation daleo Jun 2014 #39

+1 nomorenomore08 Jun 2014 #44

where are the employees backing him up? TorchTheWitch Jun 2014 #48

you seem to be saying that "he did NOT wear the name tag" hfojvt Jun 2014 #63

I agree, the explanation doesn't make sense hfojvt Jun 2014 #62

There is truly no limit to human cruelty nor human stupidity. nomorenomore08 Jun 2014 #45

So true. I don't know if it's more prevalent now, or if it just gets communicated RKP5637 Jun 2014 #61

The rate may not have increased, but the population has. That might be a factor too. n/t nomorenomore08 Jun 2014 #66

Yes, quite true! Excellent comment! Thanks! n/t RKP5637 Jun 2014 #68

That is so wrong. mnhtnbb Jun 2014 #64
