Grrrr...Federal Court Overturns Verdict In Lesbian Discrimination Case
Edited on Wed May-14-08 09:57 AM by Dinkeldog
"(Cheyenne, Wyoming) A federal appeals court has overturned a lower court verdict that found a school district had discriminated against two former school administrators because they are lesbians."

...

"The women alleged that they lost their jobs after parents complained that the women had been seen holding hands at a store in Billings, Montana. They denied the incident, but said district Superintendent Craig Dougherty confronted them angrily about it afterward."

1. Wonderful. They keep trying to shove us back in the closet.
All the more reason to be out and to congratulate those of us who take risks to live openly.

I hope these women take this discrimination lawsuit further up the chain. How ridiculous that a couple holding hands in a public place, not even during school hours or on school property, could find themselves fired for it.
