Massachusetts Court: Catholic School Can’t Refuse To Hire Married Gay Man

A state court in Massachusetts has ruled that a Catholic preparatory school violated the state’s antidiscrimination law when it rescinded a job offer to a man because he was married to another man.

Matthew Barrett had accepted a job as Food Service Director at the Fontbonne Academy, a Catholic girls school. On his employment forms, he listed his husband as his emergency contact — a move that led the school to rescind the job offer.

The next campaign has begun and I have no doubt the LGBT army will be as successful as the previous campaign to gain SSM. We all know the GOPe does not give a rats arse about religious freedom so they will roll over when their corporate overlords call, see Indiana and AR.

I presume that this is a private religious school that doesn’t receive any bribes, err, government funding?

So now even private religious schools aren’t allowed to practice their religion? Oh brave new world.

Fontbonne is French for “nice typography,” innit?

Suddenly, the liberal mantra "separation of church and state" goes out the window.

STOP THE HYPOCRISY NOW!

Government regulation of marriage has been taken over by the Pink Swastika crowd. Bake the cake or they will send government to destroy your family business. They will grind you into the dust as far as they can like they did to the former CEO of Mozilla, Brendan Eich. This is homo-fascism in action.

If we have a separation of church and state, in order to protect godly marriage, we must separate marriage and state. It is time to get government out of the business of defining and regulating marriage.

Unexpected?

Yes, they can.

From the school webstie:

“The Congregation of the Sisters of St. Joseph and the Sponsored Ministries, including Fontbonne Academy, are equal employment opportunity employers. Consistent with those religious exemptions provided in statutory and constitutional law, employment decisions are based on merit, job requirements and qualifications, and organization needs, and not on race, color, citizenship status, national origin, ancestry, gender, sexual orientation, age, religion, creed, physical or mental disability, marital status, veteran status, political affiliation, or any other factor protected by law.”

If the claim “gender, sexual orientation...religion” are not considered in hiring, then they have hung themselves.

They also say:

“Founded upon a Catholic, Western intellectual and spiritual tradition, today Fontbonne welcomes students of all faiths as they prepare for life in a global community. For each student, the goal upon graduation is that she will have discovered the true reach of her abilities and be thoroughly prepared for higher learning, with foundational skills and knowledge to support high academic achievement in a college curriculum; she will have had spiritual experience and education that open her to the world heritage of humankind’s search for God; and she will have had a social experience and education in a diverse community that prepares her to live and work among peoples of many cultures.”

Hard to be diverse in student body and hiring, and then bar homosexuals.

It's bad enough they have succeeded in putting Christians out of business for refusing to bake their cakes. Now they demand to bake the cakes in our children's Christian schools.

This is settled Law. The Supreme Court has ruled on this on several cases. The latest was the Hosanna-Tabor Evangelical Lutheran Church and School v. EEOC.

The School should counter sue for Ten Million Dollars for specious tort.

If this is one of Francis’ patron institutions they are secretly pleased to have this order come down. Go SSPX!

BTW, why the hell isn’t Trump going after these fascist faggot enablers? Given instructions to the contrary by his handlers?

The Marxists are very good at dividing and conquering. They use homosexual activists to break the church. They use women to break men at work. They use minorities to break meritocracy. They use Muslims to bust western traditions.

When does the right start using the same strategy. When does the right turn the 100,000 Syrian Muslims on the homofascists??

[plain talk]

It is not enough that these faggots have forced their views on the public — no they have to go after the church. While they start with schools - make no mistake they are coming after churches next

“Private” or “religious” now mean nothing to the Homo-left. They think they are all powerful, even over the Constitution.
