Скачать или смотреть Philadelphia Bar Has Transphobic Ad Seeking 'Biologically Male Bartender'

Moriarty’s Restaurant and Bar in Philadelphia's Midtown Village faces backlash following a Craigslist job listing seeking a "biologically male" bartender. Philadelphia's Office of LGBT Affairs, led by Celena Morrison, deems the ad "extremely problematic and absolutely transphobic." Alongside the Philadelphia Commission on Human Relations, Morrison's office investigates the issue, citing the illegality of discrimination under federal and state laws, including the amended Pennsylvania Human Relations Act protecting gender identity and expression. Located near the Gayborhood, an LGBTQ+ friendly district, Moriarty's historic establishment near the Forrest Theater has been a fixture in Philadelphia's bar scene since 1974. Deja Lynn Alvarez, the first openly transgender woman to run for Philadelphia City Council, expressed concern over the ad's placement. Rue Landau, a City Council member and the first openly LGBTQ+ person to serve, asserts the job listing violates the city's Fair Practices Ordinance, expecting a straightforward investigation due to its blatant nature. The controversy surrounding Moriarty's underscores the ongoing struggle against discriminatory practices and reinforces the commitment to fostering inclusivity in Philadelphia's diverse communities.
