...They still thought that they could fire someone because they are gay!
I was watching another video not related to this case, in the video a person says that that they are not against LGBTQ+ people but why do they have to keep pushing it in his face! When asked by the reporter what he meant by "in your face" the person said, Well you know like when they (Meaning us trans people) go out in public!
What was his “Gay agenda” well following the non-discrimination laws and that he is gay!
So just by being an out LGBTQ+ person they feel it is wrong, that he should hide in a closet. The NJ.com article ends with…
And so it begins...

November 13, 2024The Manchester Township School District in Ocean County is facing multiple lawsuits, with one former superintendent arguing he was fired due to anti-LGBTQ+ bias.
John Berenato, who served as superintendent and is gay, claims the Manchester Board of Education fired him after community members and board officials targeted him in a campaign for his ouster.
Berenato’s lawsuit describes derogatory remarks and overt hostility from district staff and community members, which he says were part of an effort to dismantle LGBTQ+ protections and undermine his leadership.
His lawsuit against the district accuses officials of fostering a hostile work environment intolerant of LGBTQ+ rights and inclusivity.
Two other former employees, Bridget Antonucci and Lori Burns, have also filed lawsuits against the district and various officials, including current Superintendent Diane Pedroza.
According to court documents, board members expressed religious beliefs in opposition to homosexuality and discussed fears of Berenato “pushing a gay agenda.”
The complaint alleges that Diane Pedroza, the current superintendent, expressed not wanting the district's curriculum to become "too gay."

One incident cited in the lawsuit was an October 2023 board meeting to discuss transgender student policy. Burns and Berenato were both in attendance, and, according to court documents, "derogatory and homophobic" comments were made during the meeting and transgender people were characterized as "dangerous" and "predatory."
Berenato’s lawsuit also alleged that there was “open animosity toward policies in place to protect LGBTQ students in the District.”
Antonucci, the former director of special services, claims that her support for state-mandated inclusive policies and her advocacy for LGBTQ+ colleagues led to targeted harassment and eventual termination. She states in her lawsuit a campaign of retaliation began in late 2023.
Burns, former director of early childhood education and a lesbian, says she experienced anti-LGBTQ+ comments from district officials who opposed her efforts to promote an inclusive curriculum.
Known for her work on LGBTQ+ inclusion in schools, Burns resigned in June, citing a hostile environment for diversity advocacy.
All three former employees accuse the district of violating New Jersey’s anti-discrimination laws and are seeking damages for emotional distress, lost wages, and punitive measures against those involved.

You know one thing that the Republicans keep forgetting not only are there trans women but they're also trans men. Hairy trans men. Hairy trans men that now have to use the women's bathroom!
