San Antonio, TX - A young woman was fired from a Macy's department store for refusing to violate her religious beliefs by permitting a young man dressed as a woman from entering the women's dressing room. Natalie Johnson claims she saw the young man walk out of the women's fitting room and politely told him that he could not go back in because it was for women only.

The cross-dressing young man claimed that he is a "female." Johnson said that he was wearing make-up and girl's clothing, but clearly he was a male. The cross-dresser was accompanied by five other individuals. The group argued with expletives that Macy's is LGBT-friendly, to which Johnson replied that Macy's is also non-discriminatory toward religion, and that it would go against her religious beliefs to lie that he was a woman or compromise with homosexuality. The group then demanded to speak with a manager.

When Johnson was confronted by her employer, she explained that she could not allow a male to change in a female's fitting room. Johnson's boss referred her to Macy's LGBT policy which allows "transgender" people to change in any dressing room they want. However, Johnson pointed out that the same policy also protects against religious discrimination and, in this case, it protects her right to her beliefs that were being violated. The manager demanded that she comply with the LGBT policies or lose her job. Johnson refused to go against her sincerely held religious beliefs and was terminated from her job.

Mathew Staver, Founder and Chairman of Liberty Counsel, commented: "Macy's policy which allows men to use the women's dressing room is fraught with problems. This policy will cause significant problems and will alienate the majority of Macy's customers. Macy's has essentially opened women's dressing rooms to every man. The LGBT agenda has become the theater of the absurd."

Orlando, FL - Another Macy's employee has contacted Liberty Counsel and shared about repeated issues with men using the women's fitting rooms. This individual asked to remain anonymous out of fear of losing her job. The employee said she constantly has to ask men to leave the women's fitting rooms. In addition, she has been asked numerous times by mothers who have daughters in the fitting rooms to please ask the men to leave the women's dressing rooms.

With the Christmas shopping season in full swing, customers around the country are sending Macy's a message that such a bizarre policy is not acceptable. One woman posted on Macy's Facebook page that her family normally spends $2,000 at Macy's and she is planning to boycott the store. Others are shredding their Macy's credit cards and closing their accounts. The chorus of voices opposing Macy's disturbing dressing room policy is growing louder as more troubling incidents are coming to light. The message will become increasingly clear that the majority of the American people are not in line with the radical Lesbian Gay Bis*xual Transgender ("LGBT") agenda.

This story of Macy's LGBT policy which allows men to use the women's fitting rooms came to light when Macy's fired Natalie Johnson from its San Antonio store after she politely told a clearly identified man that he could not re-enter the women's fitting rooms.

Mathew Staver, Founder and Chairman of Liberty Counsel said, "Macy's policy that allows men to use the women's fitting rooms makes no sense. This policy has put at risk every woman shopper who enters one of these rooms. While attempting to cater to a radical LGBT agenda, Macy's has alienated almost the entirety of its customer base."
