Transsexual Discrimination OK NY Court Rules
Advertisements [?]
http://www.365gay.com/newscon05/04/040105tgCourt.htm

A New York State appeals court has dismissed a lawsuit by a AIDS awareness group filed after a landlord refused to renew the organization's lease because transgendered clients were using the building's common-area rest rooms.

The suit accused the landlord of illegal eviction and accused the landlord of complaining the transgender clients were using the "wrong" bathrooms.

The ACLU first brought the lawsuit on behalf of the Hispanic AIDS Forum in June 2001. HAF was forced out of its home of 10 years in Jackson Heights, Queens – an epicenter of the AIDS epidemic in U.S. Latino communities.


"If you're biologically a man, if you're born a man, then you use the men's room. There's no bias against anyone."

but if you're dressed in women's clothing, and you walk into a men's room, what do you think is gonna happen?
