Lesbian Settles
Harassment Case With NYC Restaurant

A lesbian who was thrown out of the women's restroom of a Greenwich Village restaurant for looking too masculine reached a settlement with the establishment on Tuesday.

The Caliente Cab Company has agreed to pay Khadijah Farmer $35,000, though the restaurant still denies that a bouncer chased her out of the women's restroom June 24, according to Newsday . Caliente also agreed to add gender identity to its nondiscrimination policy.

"The Caliente Cab Company has been a prominent member of the West Village for many years," the company said in a statement. "An enlightened attitude and progressive thinking is woven into Caliente's culture and in its efforts to promote the social welfare of all members of the community."

Farmer was represented by the Transgender Legal Defense and Education Fund. (The Advocate)
