“I am concerned. I want to teach the kids at St. Stan’s more than anything, but I put the decision in your hands now rather than at some point down the line.
Would I still be a welcome member of the St. Stan’s community?”According to court documents, the school’s principal then forwarded the email to the superintendent of the Brooklyn Diocese, asking for advice, due to Catholic Church teaching stating that marriage is only between one man and one woman. The principal noted that teachers at St.
Stan’s are expected to live out their religious and moral values in their everyday lives and through example — creating a conflict with Butler’s stated intention of entering a same-sex marriage.On the following day, the principal sent Butler a letter canceling his contract. But Butler did not receive the letter in time, and showed up to the first day of classes. He was handed a copy of the termination letter and told he was dismissed, while the school hired another applicant to teach his classes.Butler filed a discrimination complaint against the school and the Diocese of Brooklyn with the New York City Human Rights Commission.

OSF HealthCare, a Catholic hospital system out of Illinois, has restricted the employee health plan benefits it offers to LGBTQ employees.The health care system changed its policy by narrowing the insurance plan’s definition of “infertility” from any person unable to get pregnant to “the inability for a married couple of opposite sex spouses to conceive.” According to Bloomberg News, OSF HealthCare has characterized the policy shift as attempting to “assist married opposite sex spouses” in conceiving a child.OSF HealthCare operates around 147 medical facilities in Illinois and Michigan, with over 24,000 employees. By amending the definition of fertility, only straight people — more accurately, employees in opposite-sex relationships — will be able to have their fertility treatments covered by their employee health care plan.Given the Catholic Church’s stance on homosexuality and marriage, it is not surprising to see religious institutions or religiously-affiliated employers adopting policies that exclude LGBTQ individuals from benefits typically offered to married couples.Critics were quick to denounce OSF HealthCare’s new policy, arguing that an employer is not denying treatment to some of its workers due to “objections to the treatment they are seeking” — as it might in the case of an abortion or gender confirmation surgery — but merely due to their LGBTQ identity.Peter Romer-Friedman, an attorney who is representing a same-sex male couple who claims they were denied coverage for in vitro fertilization under New York City’s health insurance plan, told Bloomberg that he believes OSF HealthCare’s actions are a clear “violation” of federal workplace discrimination.
