BOISE, Idaho (AP) — An Idaho city has settled a federal discrimination lawsuit with a former library employee who said they were harassed and discriminated against because they are non-binary and transgender, the Idaho Statesman reports.
Perez filed a lawsuit against Boise, the former library director and other library and city employees in U.S. District Court in Boise last summer. Perez, who uses they/them pronouns, was represented by the American Civil Liberties Union.
In a news release Friday, the city said the settlement was reached after both parties “evaluated the merits of the case and the resources required for extensive litigation.”
The lawsuit stemmed from two separate instances in 2019.
On one occasion, the lawsuit said, then-library director Kevin Booe took action to have Perez fired after a library patron objected to a pride display Perez had organized at the library.
Perez also received a “notice of intent to discipline” that criticized comments they made from their personal Facebook page about a library pride event that they shared to a neighborhood group on the social media platform.

I wonder how much Boise taxpayers paid, to make this lawsuit go away?
Legally, maybe it made sense to settle, rather than drag through court and potentially be forced to pay a much larger settlement as a result of a court case.
But I do wonder, how much this “Perez” was paid to make “them” happy enough to have some pocket change now.
Someone find a pic of the freak . I’ll print it out to keep the rats out of my barn .
Why did the author feel it necessary to point out which pronouns this freak goes by. Has nothing to do with the case. I guess they like poking their fingers in God’s eye.
Every time I read this pronoun garbage, I lose interest in whatever it is they are talking about. How do you use their pronouns in a practical scenario? If you wanted to page this person to come to the front desk, do you ask for “them” to come to the front desk? How many would show up? This is all rhetorical, yet it still is insane.
Why not just use a pic of Admiral Levine?
Done, see post 6.
Why are cities, counties, are so reluctant to do what New Orleans does? Win a judgement from the Crescent City, unless you have a whole lot of juice, you get told ‘sorry, we have no money’, go to the end of the line and maybe in 15 years you might get something. Just stiff the woke bastards.
If you get hired and dress and begin working as a man, and “transform” to a “woman,” you might get fired!

Apologies to Jeff!
Sheesh. Who made that hire? I know we mustn’t discriminate ... but when Ms. Infinite Problems applies for a job, any hiring authority worth his salt should have the sense to take a pass and keep his mouth shut about the reasons.
Non-binary = queer
Transgender = queer and nuts
A fag by any other name…
It never makes sense to capitulate to the left. They’ll just drag your corpse through the streets as the trophy it is, daring anyone else to oppose them.
