Judge dismisses lawsuit by spa worker who refused to give a trans woman a tour on 'Christian' grounds

Judge Keli Neary granted Hershey Entertainment's motion to dismiss Jeriah Sellers' lawsuit against her employer.

“Federal and state law require reasonable religious accommodations absent undue hardship,” Andrea Shaw, an attorney for Sellers, told the station last year. “This case asks the court to affirm that principle and to make clear that employees shouldn’t be penalized for living their faith respectfully on the job.”

If they're such staunch supporters of religious freedom, I'm sure they would also defend a Satanist employee refusing to give a tour to evangelical Christians.

In all seriousness, it's asinine that the employee claims to be living their faith 'respectfully' on the job while discriminating against a paying customer.

If your faith prevents you from doing your job you should find another fucking job or be fired.

The suit was dismissed without prejudice, meaning it was dismissed for procedural reasons. If you file the paperwork wrong, you can correct those errors and file again. If your case is dismissed because the judge ruled on the merits its dismissal with prejudice, and you cannot refile.

The bigot refused to serve a trans customer. The employer disciplined their bigoted employee, and then the bigot sued the employer. Court dismissed for something procedural but the article doesn't mention what the reason was. They have a bunch of quotes but don't mention the cause for the dismissal. Why is that??

Does the bible even mention transgender people? What the fuck does religion have to do with it?

It correlates with a lower IQ, as does transphobia.
