A Christian evangelical non-profit organization was ordered to pay a long-time employee $23k plus lost wages for firing her because she was homosexual.
When she started work at Christian Horizons, she had signed a work agreement prohibiting homosexual relationships, but when the organization found that she had been discussing her sexuality with co-workers, and had come to believe she was a lesbian, she was fired.
The Human Rights Tribunal found that the woman's job performance was not affected by her sexuality, and that given that the non-profit's mission was helping disadvantaged people regardless of sex, race or religion, whether or not she adhered to a 'Christian' code of morality regarding sexuality was irrelevant.
