By: Muslims for Progressive Values - USA McDonald’s Corporate Responsibility in Attack on Transgendered Woman in Baltimore, MD on Monday, April 18 The recent attack on a transgendered woman that occurred at a McDonald’s restaurant in Baltimore, MD on Monday, April 18 is a sad symptom of the ignorance, insensitivity and the atmosphere of intolerance that is created in our society by the lack of responsiveness by our lawmakers and by the absence of consequences for those who perpetrate such deplorable acts. Muslims for Progressive Values, as a matter of principle, endorses the rights of the LGBTQ individuals and we support and defend those rights in our work by creating spaces that are not only inclusive but that honor the diversity of the individuals that participate, including those who identify themselves as lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, transgendered and intersexed. The fact that such a brutal attack on a transgendered woman occurred at all is disturbing but the fact that it occurred at a business that is recognized as being nearly synonymous with America and which, we are sure, holds corporate values that reflect the diversity and individuality of Americans is absolutely appalling. We call on the corporate officers of McDonald's to investigate this incident and to revise their policies on customer service so that all patrons can be assured not only respect but safety while visiting their establishments.
