Canada: Group must pay homosexual worker who had to quit job



From the Brantford Expositor:

Ontario’s Human Rights Tribunal says a provincially funded Christian group violated the rights of a worker who had to quit her job after revealing she was gay.

The tribunal has ordered Kitchener, Ont.-based Christian Horizons to compensate Connie Heintz, 39, and to end a prohibitive code-of-conduct contract for its 2,500 employees.

The contract, which all staff must sign, forbids workers from cheating on their spouses, having pre-marital sex or homosexual relationships, using pornography, and “endorsing” alcohol or tobacco, among other things.
