WATCH: Pregnant Lesbian Teacher Fired By Catholic High School

Barbara Webb had been a chemistry teacher and volleyball coach at Marian High School in Bloomfield Hills, Mich., for nearly a decade — until last month, when Webb says administrators at the all-girl's Catholic school learned Webb and her wife were expecting their first child.

Webb, 33, married her partner, Kristen Lasecki, nearly six years ago, according to the Detroit Free Press. Webb says that she learned of her pregnancy in June, informed her employers in July, and was fired by mid-August. The termination letter Webb received did not include an official reason for her dismissal, but she told the Free Press that conversations with administrators leading up to her firing made clear that her "nontraditional" pregnancy was the cause.

"If you publicly had some type of actions that were contradictory to Catholic teachings, then there would be an issue," Webb told Detroit's WJBK-TV. "If you did and it was private, there seemed to be no issue."

Of course, a pregnancy is tough to keep strictly private, especially as the expectant mother's belly began to grow. Although she initially tried to work out a plan for maternity leave that would avoid publicly announcing the pregnancy, Webb says administrators gave her an ultimatum: she could either resign immediately or be fired. According to a post on Webb's Facebook wall from August 27, if she agreed to resign, the school offered to continue her health care benefits through May — as long as she signed a nondisclosure agreement surrounding her dismissal.
