Court rules North Carolina Catholic school could fire gay teacher who announced his wedding online

  • Charlotte Catholic High School and the Roman Catholic Diocese of Charlotte were found not to have violated Lonnie Billard’s federal employment protections against sex discrimination.
  • Circuit Judge Pamela Harris stated Billard fell under a “ministerial exception” to Title VII, allowing religious institutions to regulate employees central to religious missions.
  • Billard, a substitute teacher at Charlotte Catholic, was not invited back due to his advocacy against church teachings on marriage, which conflicted with the school's faith integration requirements.
