Wal-Mart now has Transgender Protections for their Employees
Wow, I'm surprised to hear this about Wally World.
Bentonville, Ark.-based Wal-Mart has added gender identity to their list of protected categories for employees.Maybe others will follow?
Wal-Mart, the nation's largest retailer, already has protections for LGB employees. The additional transgender protections were praised by the Human Rights Campaign.
“What matters in the workplace is how you do your job, not your gender identity or sexual orientation,” HRC President Joe Solmonese said in a press release. “As the nation’s largest private employer, Wal-Mart shows that doing the right thing is also good for business. We urge them to continue to move forward by ensuring all of their LGBT employees receive equal benefits.”

- Wonder Man
- I'm very laid back and easy going. I like to meet people, read, talk about politics, culture and life. I am a huge comic book fan (X-Men family and Wonder Woman) I also want to say that I am a proud black gay man...no 'down low' drama here

I found it shocking, especially when you consider where these stores are located and what clientele they attract.
I don't think this will protect me from appearing on PeopleOfWalMart.com though.
