Seattle's Union Gospel Mission asks US Supreme Court to decide anti-LGBTQ hiring lawsuit
SEATTLE - The Union Gospel Mission, a charitable organization known for working with Seattle’s homeless, is petitioning the U.S. Supreme Court to take up a lawsuit involving the mission’s anti-LGBTQ hiring policy.
The mission was accused of refusing to hire attorney Matthew Woods, who told the mission that he was in a same-sex relationship, for a free legal aid clinic because of his sexual orientation.
Woods sued the mission in 2017, saying he had applied for the job after being encouraged to do so during an internship with the mission’s legal aid program before the church knew about his relationship.
Woods’ attorneys argued in a brief that the hiring policy violated the state law that prohibits employers from considering job applicants based on anything beyond their qualifications.

A bit premature in my opinion but maybe they feel they'll be more successful with "The handmaiden" and boofer beer boy Brett.
