More Religious Hypocrisy From The Catholics

Lynn Starkey has been a guidance counselor at Roncalli High School, a Catholic high school in Indianapolis, with over 39 years of experience. But she’s out of a job because, you guess it, gay and in a civil union with a woman!

The school and the city’s Archdiocese will not be renewing her contract for the 2019-2020 school year because, they say, Starkey breached her employment agreement by falling in love with a woman and having a civil union ceremony … four years ago. In addition to her 39 years of service, Lynn Starkey was recognized as Teacher of the Year in 2009 while still a lesbian.

Lynn Starkey filed a discrimination complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in November 2018, claiming she was discriminated against based on her sexual orientation.

Huh.

In addition, another guidance counselor at Roncalli, Shelly Fitzgerald, who had worked at the school for fifteen years was placed on leave last month when it was learned that she, too, had married a woman.

Starkey’s attorney, Kathleen DeLaney:

“There are more than 60 schools in the Archdiocese of Indianapolis and thousands of employees. Shelly Fitzgerald and Lynn Starkey are the only ones we know of who have been asked, ‘Are you violating church teachings?’”

And if that’s true, if the Archdiocese hasn’t questioned every employee, then they have singled out both Lynn Starkey and Shelly Fitzgerald because they are gay, and doesn’t that sound like plain and simple discrimination?

But, again, it’s the Catholic Church which would rather remove a valued employee … two valuable employees … because of their sexual orientation, but also turn a blind eye to priests raping children.

Gay people, they fire; pedophiles, they protect.

How Christlike.
