Ms. Lapriss Gilbert an African-American Lesbian was subject to discrimination yesterday while going to the Social Security office. A federal guard hired by Homeland Security objected to her lesbian.com t-shirt on the account that it was "offensive." Lesbian.com is an education and resource site for lesbian identified women.
The unnamed guard is contracted by Paragon Systems. Ms. Gilbert along with the ACLU are filing a lawsuit against the company. Please urge the company to fire this homophobic "security agent."

What the HELL is wrong with people??
Well, I could understand if it said
iraq.com or something like that but
geez, did this person have nothing
better to do? Was this guard rejected
by a lesbian? Did their last girlfriend
leave them for a woman?
HUGS!!!!!!
Sabertooth - apparently a lot!
Laurie - You are so funny! I don't know if the guard was male or female, but either way they have some serious issues.
it's silly to kick somebody out just because of what the shirt said but it's also silly to advertise yourself as being different like that. who cares if she was a lesbian? she didn't need to parade it around.
OY!! Sometimes I wonder how it is that the USA is considered the "greatest nation in the free world." Seems like freedom is becoming more scarce in our society. I will admit... it makes me worry a bit about whether our country will elect the right person in Nov., or if we will just keep going backwards.
Wow, bummer comment. Sorry! :-/
