Trans woman sues Hooters after they 'refused to hire her'

 

A transgender woman is suing a Hooters franchise for discrimination after they allegedly refused to hire her based on 'her image'.

 

Brandy Livingston has been a regular at the restaurant, famed for its scantily clad waitresses, on Wolf Road in Colonie, a suburb of Albany in New York.

 

With career aspirations of working for the chain, Livingston had applied three times for listings which were all unsuccessful, according to her.

 

Speaking with News10, Livingston said she was not respected as a woman at the establishment, alleging that workers actively discriminated against her.

 

She told the outlet: 'They would use male pronouns. They would refer to me as he.'

 

On her being denied employment, she added: 'I said, do you want to see my experience or anything? Because I had previous jobs I had written down.

'And he said, “Oh, we don’t care about experience. We hire on the basis of personality. And there’s an image that needs to be met".'

 

Livingston said that she had also heard employees and a manager at the restaurant harass her about using their restroom.

 

She claimed: 'I overheard one of the servers after I left the restroom talking to one of the managers and said that, "Why are you allowing him in the women’s restroom?"

 

'And the manager said, "Oh, I don’t like it any more than you do".'

Frank Luntz: Trump ‘Clearly’ Has the Momentum, ‘Reminds Me So Much of 2016’

 

Pollster Frank Luntz said Thursday on CNN’s “News Central” that former President Donald Trump “clearly” has the momentum in the election.

 

Discussing Vice President Harris’ reaction to President Joe Biden’s garbage comments, host Sara Sidner said, “She also came out and said, ‘No, no, no, I’m going to give people a seat at the table and not call them the enemy within.’ Why do you argue that this might be the big issue?”

 

Luntz said, “Because it reminds me so much of 2016. And I think there are a lot of similarities right now between this campaign and that campaign. The divisions in the country were significant back then, people didn’t think Trump had a chance back then. He’s been gaining and gaining the momentum. I don’t know who’s going to win. I can’t call it, and nobody should because statistically and polling and focus groups, it is way too close to call. However, the momentum is clearly — in what I see and what I hear — is in his favor.”

 

He added, “And so every word, every phrase, every misstep, every gaffe matters as those last remaining persuadables make their decision. I don’t believe in the undecided anymore. I don’t believe there is undecided. I think the only question is, can you be-, do you actually come out and vote if you don’t like either candidate? Because that is the vast majority of persuadable. People who don’t like Trump’s attitude, don’t like his persona, people who aren’t still sure what Harris will do in the first day, first week, first month, first year.”

Analysis: 613,000 Georgia Voters Who Did Not Participate in the 2020 Election Have Voted Early

 

A massive number of Georgians who did not participate in the 2020 presidential election recently voted early as former President Donald Trump (R) and Vice President Kamala Harris (D) battle for the White House, an analysis shows.

 

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (AJC) and GeorgiaVotes.com found that over half a million of the people living in the state who did not vote in 2020 have already cast their ballot, the outlet reported on Wednesday.

 

The article continued:

 

As of Wednesday morning, those 613,000 voters include new residents, Georgians who weren’t old enough to vote four years ago, as well as residents who have moved back after a time living in other states and voters who were registered for decades but just skipped 2020.

“We think of the electorate as being really static,” said Bernard Fraga, a political scientist at Emory University, referring to conversations about candidates winning back voters, “when the much bigger pool of people is not folks who are switching (parties), it’s folks who couldn’t have voted, didn’t vote or couldn’t have voted in previous years.”

 

In a social media post on Thursday, AJC political reporter Greg Bluestein pointed out, “The highest early voting turnout in Georgia isn’t in Democratic strongholds such as DeKalb County or the fiercely contested suburbs that surround metro Atlanta.”

 

“It’s in sparsely populated rural counties where Republicans dominate,” he added.

 

The AJC’s final survey before the election showed Trump was leading Harris with 47 percent of the vote while she had 43 percent support, Breitbart News reported on October 22.

 

“Technically, that four-point difference is outside of the survey’s +/- 3.1 percent margin of error,” the article noted, adding, “However, eight percent of voters in the Peach State, according to this survey, have indicated that they are undecided. If that’s true, that is more than enough to swing the race in either direction.”

 

Breitbart News reported on Friday that Americans had already cast 30 million votes in the first weeks since early voting began, the University of Florida’s Election Lab found.
