Lubbock man says he was fired for being gay; law says it's OK
Casey Stegall’s direct supervisor knew he was gay.
But, after he introduced his fiancé to the kids he worked with at the Children’s Home of Lubbock, he was fired.
“I got fired just for me being who I am,” he said.
A year after being hired and spending week after week caring for the children living at the home, he was dismissed for circumstances revolving around what Lynn Harms, president of the organization, called Stegall’s lifestyle choices.
