Lawsuit | Starbucks employee claims she wasn't promoted as she's gay and 'looks like a boy'

A Starbucks employee is suing the company, claiming she was overlooked for a promotion because of her sexuality and because she ‘looks like a boy’.

Jahmelia 'Jay' Peters is claiming that she was passed over when the coffee giant was promoting in one of their stores, an act she says was down to her sexuality, gender identity and gender expression.
