An interesting explainer on the background and who is really behind the banning. And contains these brilliant lines:
I’ve no doubt staff at the Stand did complain about Cherry. Blue haired angry youths complain about everything. The correct response is to tell them to fuck off. Minimum wage teenage peons shouldn’t be the arbiters of culture.
Seriously, I don’t know many jobs where staff are allowed to refuse to work with anyone they don’t like. If there are problems with completing the work, then the management might work to arbitrate, or might kick your ass to the street. I have had to work with a wide variety of people over the years, a lot of whom had ideas I disliked intensely. I didn’t have the right to refuse to work with them because my job was my job, and I was expected to act like a professional.

Hell, just invert it, and see the reaction (and the hypocrisy)–imagine a GCF employee refusing to provide service to a transwoman (in an environment where sex isn’t part of the issue). The place would have a screaming horde outside demanding her immediate termination (possibly in more than one sense of the word) within the time it takes a Tweet to go viral.

No you fucking don’t. I mean you do – you could just resign (you know like the pharmacists who refuse to dispense abortifacient drugs don’t – you totally support their brave stand of course). People like you are exactly the reason we need anti-discrimination laws.
