It’s all fun and games when you’re sporting your favorite custom corporate apparel around town until your tee shirt slogan gets you in trouble. Los Angeles based Daily Times recently reported a Van Nuys woman was forced to leave a federal building by a guard who objected to her “lesbian.com” tee-shirt.

Lori Haley, federal spokesperson for the office of Immigration and Custom Enforcement, said the guard was out of line.

"We believe that the actions of the contract security guard were inappropriate and unacceptable - we have notified his company, Paragon, of our position in the matter," Haley said.

Instances of sexual discrimination are rare in Federal buildings noted one attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union. This is good news for those of us who love our promotional tees and support freedom of wearable speech.

So wear your promotional apparel loud and proud!
