Over at Damn Straight, author Abigail Garner writes about her (now former) employer’s attempts to suppress her blog for “promoting homosexual behavior,” and her subsequent decision to leave her job at the College of St. Catherine. Garner is the author of the book, Families Like Mine: Children of Gay Parents Tell It Like It Is.
In her resignation letter, which she posts on her blog, Garner writes:
I started my position inspired by the College’s message of social justice, which the campus regularly declares, reaffirms, and celebrates. Justice, by its very definition, is for everyone. That commitment should not falter because of increased fear, or because of added scrutiny, or because the marginalized group includes gays and lesbians. I submit this resignation to honor my family, to honor my community, and to honor my lifetime commitment to publicly supporting justice for all.
In a detailed post, Garner discusses how her boss at St. Kate’s “discovered” her blog and the events that followed. Read more about it here.
