LESBIAN THROWN OUT OF FED BUILDING FOR WEARING A LESBIAN SHIRT

Get this. A woman was thrown out of a Federal Building in Southern California for wearing a shirt with the word "Lesbian" on it. I love their reasoning.. "Its Offensive".. Bah Ha Ha Ha Ha.

Lapriss Gilbert says she went to the building in Van Nuys on Monday to pick up a Social Security card for her son. But before she could make it to the queue she was stopped by a security guard.
Gilbert said she was told that the t-shirt, which bore the words “Lesbian.com,” was offensive. The web site is a popular educational resource for lesbians.

Gilbert told The Contra Costa Times that the guard demanded that she leave the building or face arrest.

“As an African-American and a lesbian, I haven’t been through one day without facing some sort of discrimination…but this is just shocking,” Gilbert, 31, told the newspaper.

The guard was not a government employee but works for Paragon, a private company hired by the Department of Homeland Security.

A spokesperson for the department said the guard’s actions were “inappropriate and unacceptable” and that Paragon had been contacted.

Gilbert and her mother Tanya, who is also a lesbian and a longtime LGBT activist, say they are contacting an attorney. Gilbert told the Times that she may file a federal civil rights lawsuit.

The younger Gilbert called her mother after being escorted out of the building. The mother called police but before officers arrived another Paragon guard told Gilbert she could enter the building and escorted her to the Social Security line.

A witness contacted by The Times backs up Gilbert’s account.

“For her to be told to leave was completely unnecessary, especially considering how peaceful and quiet she was responding the the security officers,” Paul Dumont told the paper. “Nobody in that office felt her t-shirt was offensive by any means.”

In a statement to police, Dumont said the guard’s “loud, unreasonable, aggressive and angry approach to the situation almost caused chaos.” [SOURCE]
