Catholic School Must Hire Gay Man Says Court
A Boston state court issued a first in its ruling attempting to force a Catholic school to hire a homosexual man.
Superior Court Associate Justice Douglas Wilkins’ decision on Wednesday orders Fontbonne Academy, a Catholic girls school, to hire a “gay” man. The judge said Fontbonne discriminated against plaintiff Matthew Barrett when officials rescinded a food service director position in 2013.

“This proves sexual-orientation discrimination as a matter of law on the undisputed facts.” the judge further stated
