Being Gay costs Director's job
Imagine an executive at the position of director, earning $92K-a-year, being asked to keep a “low profile”. Then the board of directors discuss that he is not “the image they wished to project” for the hospital he raised funds for. After some time, a “reorganization” is conducted where this person is demoted to work under a fellow director. Upon complaining he is warned of being insubordinate and during the 90-day probation period, he is finally fired.
And now imagine, all these changes in this person’s life starts, just after he brings in his partner to an annual event.
The plaintiff, in this case Kenneth Weimer, says he was fired after the board of directors learned he was gay. The CEO who hired and fired Weimer within 2 months of his job says, that was not the case. In what could turn out to be an important case to keep a watch, St Rose Hospital Foundation in the Bay Area is being sued. Also incidentally, the facility since 1960’s was founded by Catholic nuns and was a Catholic institution when Weimer was “discovered” to be gay!
