Gay guidance counselor sues Indianapolis Archdiocese after being fired from school

The archdiocese told NBC News in a statement Monday that it has "a constitutional right to hire leaders who support the schools’ religious mission."A gay guidance counselor is suing the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Indianapolis for discrimination, alleging it fired her from a job at a high school because she's in a same-sex marriage.

"Starkey has suffered damages as a result of Defendants’ retaliatory actions, including but not limited to lost back pay, lost front pay, loss of future earning capacity, lost employer provided benefits, and emotional distress damages," the lawsuit states. "Catholic schools exist to communicate the Catholic faith to the next generation," the statement said."To accomplish their mission, Catholic schools ask all teachers, administrators, and guidance counselors to uphold the Catholic faith by word and action, both inside and outside the classroom."

NBCOUT Homosexuality is in conflict with Catholicism. She knows that. What’s the issue here?

NBCOUT Hmmm looks like the catholicEW doesn't know what 'judge not lest ye be judged' is all about.

NBCOUT Religion is so hateful.

NBCOUT The hypocrisy is astounding.

NBCOUT another mixed up letter

NBCOUT 👍

NBCOUT I really hope she wins this case. The Church is really needing to change it's ways. How can they criticize her when they have priests doing such awful things! Hypocrisy ....

NBCOUT She should work at a public school.

NBCOUT Ummm?🤔 What about Church does she not understand? Her lifestyle is against Biblical teachings. You must be fired once a sinful lifestyle like that has come to light. No court can fight against the Church. The Church has a right to uphold their beliefs.

NBCOUT Praying she 'cleans' the financial clock of those Catholic hypocrites!

NBCOUT Any true 'Christian' would pull their child out of that school. If this is true it violates everything that Christianity stands for. Treat others as you would have them treat you, love one another, don't judge...know what I mean?

NBCOUT Yet they continue to employ pedophile priests.

NBCOUT

NBCOUT 😶😑😶😑😶😑😶
