Lesbian sues Kansas City Catholic diocese for firing her over her marriage
Friday, July 18th, 2014 Liability LitigationA parish food pantry worker who was fired over her marriage to another woman is suing the Roman Catholic Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph. Colleen Simon says the diocese and parish knew before Simon was hired that she was married and her wife was a well-known community leader. She was fired when the couple was mentioned last April in a newspaper article. The diocese plans to release a statement later Thursday. The Missouri lawsuit is among a growing number of clashes over gay rights between Catholic leaders and their employees.
