that says one needs to be of a certain sexual persuasion, race, religion, etc. She's been a guidance counselor for 15 years at this school so she must be doing a heck of a job or else she would have been let go long ago.

Hope she gets a good employment discrimination lawyer and gets a huge settlement.

on their own time

always been that way
always will

Oh, and I believe religious organizations can discriminate this way. They shouldn't be able to, but they've been getting away with it forever.

I am not knowledgeable as to the qualifications of an Iman. Are they ordained as in Christian sects? Do they graduate from an approved seminary like protestant and Catholic ministers? Just wondering. Guess I better get educated. What little I do know is somewhat confusing. It seems that the important qualification is acceptance of their Six Articles of Faith. One of which is predestination. That would leave me out. Also, I may have misinterpreted but the Holy Books are without error and must be regarded as holy. I don't think they have a set education, but honor knowledge as an important virtue. Like I said it is a bit confusing.


In early Christianity there wasn't a set education either and this only developed latter with the establishment of seminaries around the time of the Reformation. A relatively late development and was in answer to the lack of training that some priests exhibited and the demand for uniformity.

Thanks.

An Imam or Baptist preacher who changes their mind. At some point, if they no longer ascribe to their original faith - then the church has a right to let them go.

I feel bad for this woman, she sounds nice. But she did work for the church. She knows the teaching better than most.....

a friend of mine was living with his boyfriend, and his boyfriends employer forced them to separate. It wasn't that they were gay, it was that his boyfriend is an Episcopal minister and the Bishop required them to either separate or get married.

Married they are now

eyeballs in child rape cover ups and payoffs, they need all the help they can get right now to stay afloat and be relevant in a changing society that accepts the LGBT community. So they should just STFU and let her continue doing her job.

After many decades of the CC protecting their pederast priests.

And moving them around to 'prey' on other children.

In 2013, the Vatican bought an apartment block for 23 million to houses priests and church leaders that has as a tenant the latest gay spa in Europe.

and should be encouraged. Then there are good Christians like Trump with his multiple wives and affairs.

Now they find out about it? More likely they knew but someone with money complained.

I hope she gets a very good lawyer and gets MILLIONS$$ Too pay for her pain and suffering. We are in the 22nd century not the 1st century. I do not think her contract required her to change her private life habits or being a Catholic for employment............I think the Bastards who caused this PROBLEM should be publicly punished.......... I believe the Catholic private school education does provide on OUTSTANDING education and the students will excel in college.....

Religious entities' employment contracts ALWAYS include morality clauses that state your employment can be terminated for things like them finding out you're a practicing lesbian.

I think it's bullshit too, but they're allowed to do it.

She just graduated. Ugh.

Religious entities can do whatever they want to people in this country (Christian ones anyway), but it is not at all useless for people to speak out. I am glad the guidance counselor hired an attorney, they won't win, but they can perhaps embarrass the school administration some. Telling someone they can keep their job if they get a divorce is worse than a bigoted institution just firing someone with no discussion, humiliating that they offered her "counseling".

Towards male homosexuality the Catholic Church's attitude is more or less "don't ask, don't tell." That includes the attitude of the clergy and the hierarchy, and Catholic communicants have more or less fallen in line. As long as it's not going on in front of their children, they can look the other way.

But when female homosexuality is discovered within the ranks, it's Katie-bar-the-door and get these sinners out of here.
