An employee of a trans fired cafe after firing a conservative activist

This month, Weiss has publicly stated that the ordinance should not be passed anytime soon, due to lack of support and public resources, a decision that she has described as "painful "but that LGBTQ leaders, including councilman James Michael Bowers Councilor Sandra Washington, lesbian, shares.

"According to our estimates, we would need 250 solicitors who ring doors seven days a week for a minimum of eight months to see the order," said Weiss. "I had to take this position and it put me at odds with members of my community."

According to Weiss, Synek was a regular at Cultiva, which is owned and operated by LGBTQ employees, as the facility is close to the town hall and the state capitol. Although it was not her first time to see Synek at the shop, Weiss said she had been frustrated with the stalemate in the prescription and had come out of a cold before the incident occurred on Wednesday.

"Here, sitting, the face of an organization was a source of personal stress," Weiss told NBC News.

Weiss said that she had called Synek and told him, "I thought I recognized you. … you should go out and never come back.

Weiss could not remember his exact phrasing, but noted that his words were "vulgar".

In a statement to NBC News, Synek said Weiss had called her "a bigoted junk" and that she was not "wanted" at the cafe. Synek added that Weiss had said that if she returned, service would be denied.

Weiss understood that the interaction was not "professional" and that although she expected to be reprimanded by Cultiva management, she did not expect to be fired.

"We were told that we could ask anyone to make us feel uncomfortable and dangerous to leave, so I felt empowered to do what I did," Weiss said. "The soft, not tenuous warning was that people had to put us uncomfortable while we were working, not out of the shift."

Weiss said his executive director had received a call from management, warning him that Weiss had been fired about half an hour after the incident.

Jason Anderson, owner of the store, wrote in an email to NBC News that the incident was a "regrettable situation on many levels".

"Groups like the Nebraska Family Alliance pose a direct threat to his life and to the entire LGBT community," said Anderson. "Regarding the incident in our store, we reacted as we would with any other staff member, we apologized as we would for any non-disruptive guest, and have more later attempted to defuse public anger and threats with our social media postings.
