DALLAS (WordNews.org) Dec. 20, 2011 — An open letter urging Macy’s to change its policy allowing cross-dressing men to change in women’s fitting rooms has receive tens of thousands of signatures, Liberty Counsel said.

The Christian legal organization drafted the open letter following the firing of a Macy’s employee for preventing a cross-dresser from changing in the women’s dressing room. Liberty has delivered the letter to Macy’s.

“Just last week it came to light that a mother and her daughter were subjected to trying on clothes in a Macy’s women’s dressing room supervised by a trans-sexual (man presenting as a woman) at the Galleria Mall in Dallas, Texas,” Liberty Counsel said. “His job supervising the fitting rooms means that he escorts women and young girls to the dressing rooms, enters the dressing rooms to clean out the clothes, and even provides different sized items to women while they are trying on their clothes.”

Liberty Counsel said more reports are coming in from across the country about similar situations– cross-dressing men changing in women’s fitting rooms.

The letter delivered to Macy’s reads, in part: “As an American who recognizes the crucial importance of cultural boundaries and same gender guidelines to the welfare of any society, I am appalled by your corporate decision to allow LGBT people to use whatever changing facilities they choose in Macy’s stores. This policy is both misguided and absurd. It creates an unnecessary threat to the comfort and safety of your customers and helps undermine the stability of our society! I am deeply concerned that pro-homosexual activism has brought your organization to enact such a poorly thought-out policy.”
