Chili’s Allegedly Told This Lesbian to Dress ‘More Gender Appropriate’
A lesbian single mom is alleging that her manager at Chili’s offered her a promotion—but only if she started to “dress more gender appropriate.”
In a new complaint filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission on behalf of Arizona woman Meagan Hunter, the American Civil Liberties Union argues that the Chili’s manager discriminated against Hunter on the basis of sex.
The manager’s alleged comments about Hunter’s attire—which she describes in a blog post as “a men’s button up shirt, fitted slacks, and boat shoes”—also made her so uncomfortable, she says, that she felt like she could no longer work for him.
