The WTF of the day - 10/18/06

Metro Transit has an advertising deal with Lavendar magazine (it's the Minnesota gay/lesbian mag). One of their drivers came forward because she didn't want to drive buses with those billboards on it for religious reasons. While MTC wouldn't remove the ads, they did accomadate her as is legally required by giving her routes that don't have that ad on them. She was cool with that.

But then, the union that she's a member of that represents the bus drivers stepped in. Know what they said? They said, "Hey, MTC. You can't give her different routes. That's promoting intolerance!"

WTF?
