Transsexual sues Oregon athletic club
In Portland, Oregon, transsexual Lori Buckwalter says the Cascade Athletic Club violated a Multnomah County ordinance. She's filed a lawsuit accusing the owners of a Gresham athletic club of discrimination by ordering her to leave the club after she changed in the women's locker room. Buckwalter, a manager in the Multnomah County Department of Business and Community Services, said she joined the club last year and worked out several times without incident. She's seeking $1 million in noneconomic damages from the Cascade Athletic Club and Mark and Frank Eisenzimmer. A Multnomah County ordinance prohibits discrimination on the basis of gender identity.
