Guess those rainbow flags hanging outside 75% of the restaurants in Greenwhich Village aren't quite as redundant as we thought. When Khadijah Farmer, a lesbian, went to a restaurant in the village after attending a pride parade, she probably didn't expect to get kicked out.

Last year, Farmer and her friends ate at the Caliente Cab Company, a Mexican restaurant in the heart of the West village. When she went to the lady's room, a bouncer followed her in and told her she had to leave. After Farmer showed him her ID, the bouncer, who must have a hard time apologizing, made Farmer and her party leave the restaurant.

Who's sorry now? The Caliente Cab Company, we're guessing. Farmer just won a gender discrimination lawsuit against the restaurant, which will now have to pay her  $35,000 (plus $15,000 in legal fees) and has agreed to add gender identity and expression to its corporate nondiscrimination policy; adopt a gender-neutral dress code for its employees; and amend its employee handbook to state “persons patronizing or employed at Caliente have the right to use the bathroom facilities consistent with their gender identity and expression.” Now that's the West Village we know and love.
