New York businesses face hefty penalties for 'misgendering' customers
By Bradford Richardson - The Washington Times - Wednesday, May 18, 2016
Greeting customers as "Mr." or "Mrs." — or even not using the pronoun "ze" or "zir" — could prove costly for New York City businesses under rules drafted by Mayor Bill de Blasio's bureaucrats.
The Gotham mayor's Commission on Human Rights says entities that fail to address customers by their preferred gender pronouns and titles are in violation of the law and could be subject to penalties of up to $250,000.

The madness continues for the leftist loons! Thankfully I'll never have to set foot in the lunatic city.

de Blasio is working hard to become Hillary's VP choice.
It'll just be a nonsensical slew of unenforceable, unsubstantiated 'it' said/'it' said cases (he said/she said). There's no precedent for NY-prosecutors to draw from.
I think it's still illegal to use goldfish as bait, when fishing in the State. That'll be where this law ends-up...
archaic laws still on-the-books.
Don't NYC-panhandlers still need a license? Here's the IdiotLaws-site. Just click any State to see what's still technically illegal:

Guess which businesses De comie o will send his undercover ginks into first to entrap the hapless employee's....well my bets are on Chik Fil A whom he has already tried to enable boycott againt and deny city permits to.

de Basio's boycott Chik-fil-A movement is a miserable failure just like his total administration.

That's what I was wondering too. How is anyone, especially the way some clowns like to dress these days, how are you supposed to know how someone likes to be addressed?
I guess we're all supposed to be mind readers.

At my age I can not tell if there male or female from the back. It's not until I get to there side or there front that I can tell. At my age I don't that time to check out there butt. :lol:
This is beyond mind boggling stupid and in no way should be taken seriously.
Even it were a law, it's completely unenforceable.
Lilliput comes to mind, where cracking open an egg on the wrong end was a death sentence.

Or the poor guy that's hard of hearing.
Pardon sir? Oh, mam...er what, man? Well Hell, ya ain't no lady despite wearing that robe, I have no idea what you are, so how am I supposed to know what to call you?
Guilty, and that'll be $1 million in fines, and bailiff, whack his pee pee.
Jokes on you bitch, I'm a woman.
New yorkers deserve each other. :biggrin:

Up to the last two years my hearing has been bad even with hearing aids. So I good at lip-reading, started picking up about 30 years ago. You would be surprised at some of the things you don't hear from across the room. :lol: With the new hearing aids I have to turn them down when going into a restaurant as things are so load now.

I take mine out in restaurants. One would think every utensil in the building has a personal amplifier built in and targeting me.

With my new ones I can just turn mine down or off with a touch of a button. They have come a long was in the last 10 years.

Have you ever seen any of the episodes of the Maury Povich show
where he has several drag queens and several actual women
come onto the set, one at a time,
and has the audience try to guess which ones are which?
You really can not tell!
Most of the drag queens look more like real women than the actual women!

I don't do TV, I have 3 in my house for my wife she likes the old moves and some of the new ones. I do do DVD and VCR's with my wife about 2 time a month, most of the time I don't make it through the full film(s).
