From the Buffalo News:
The man who is in line to become the city’s top crusader against discrimination was the target of a 2006 complaint that he repeatedly taunted a gay co-worker, The Buffalo News has learned.
The discrimination complaint was filed with the state Division of Human Rights. It contends that Andres Garcia created a “hostile work environment” by subjecting a gay worker to “constant” negative comments that included disparaging names and jokes.
Now - the title of this posting isn’t about Garcia. I’ve never heard of the guy and have no idea about whether the guy is any kind of phobe. Rather, the title speaks to a general notion.
Considering that the self-declared (and seemingly-accepted-by-the-MSM-as-such) largest GLB(T) rights ‘organization’ is one of the most transphobic organizations in the nation (if not the most trasnsphobic; certainly, though, the most MTF-phobic) and has a worse track record on hiring trans people (particularly MTF TSs) than many corporations and government entities that make no claim whatsoever to be friendly to anyone, why should the possibility of a phobe being hired to administer a legal framework that was designed to combat phobia be a surprise?
It shouldn’t be.
