Because of an individual franchise owner's contribution to the Yes on 8 campaign, SUBWAY responded to a blogger's demand by reprimanding the franchise owner and adding clear GLBT language to their non-discrimination policy.

Go SUBWAY! :patriot:

"We are changing the discrimination policy language and that includes anything we add through headquarters human resources, not just in the field," said DiNello. "The company used the exact language you gave us," referring to BlogActive's request to add both 'sexual orientation and gender identity.'"

"This is a textbook example of how a company should react when they realize that one of its operating units has done something wrong. What was outrageous behavior by one franchisee has resulted in a letter to owners of 30,000 stores and a corporate policy change for the better," said Rogers, "I am particularly happy that the company added both sexual orientation and gender identity to the list of protected individuals under the corporate non-discrimination policies."
