Queer Avengers targeting McDonalds Manners Mall
Queer Avengers targeting McDonalds Manners Mall
Wellington's Queer Avengers are holding an action in solidarity with McDonalds workers tonight, 5:30pm at Manners Mall McDonald's. The action is part of the Turn McDonald's Gay Day called by Unite Auckland.
Auckland McDonalds worker Sean Bailey was told to not "act gay" by a bullying McDonalds manager. Last night, picketers in Auckland were assaulted by security.
"Homophobia is just part of the McDonald's management arsenal," says Queer Avenger Ian Anderson. "Attacks on McDonald's workers are an attack on us all. Their decision to stand up for better wages and conditions, and against homophobic and bullying behaviour, is an inspiration."
The Queer Avengers will be turning the Manners Mall branch into a queer space, in solidarity with McDonald's workers.
