Shua Wilmot and Raegan Zelaya, two former dorm directors at a small Christian university in western New York, acknowledge their names are unconventional, which explains why they attached gender identities to their work email signatures.
Their former employer, Houghton University, wanted them to drop the identifiers in line with a new policy for email formats implemented in September. Both refused and were fired.
In the Northwest, 16 plaintiffs are suing Seattle Pacific University, a Christian liberal arts college, to challenge the school’s employment policy barring people in same-sex relationships from full-time jobs. “There’s a backlash against the rise of LGBTQ rights,” he said, and not just with “white evangelical Christianity in the South ... but in places like New York and Oregon that we wouldn’t think would be experiencing this backlash.”
The university said it had previously asked employees to remove “anything extraneous,” including Bible quotes, from email signatures. “I would never ask you to agree with or support every decision I make,” Lewis wrote. “But I do humbly ask that you resist the temptation to reduce Houghton’s decision making to the simple and convenient political narratives of our time.”
