The OUTlook, a weekly newsletter about LGBTQ+ business, labor and workplace equality from Qnotes.
Good afternoon, everyone! My name is Chris Rudisill and I’m guest writing this week’s OUTlook newsletter while Taylor is out.
In case you missed it, last week a panel of federal appeals court justices ruled in favor of a Catholic school in Charlotte, saying it had the right to fire a teacher after the employee announced his marriage to his longtime partner over a decade ago. It’s a story Qnotes has been following for a while, first reporting on the case in 2015.
Plus, we have an update on Carolinas CARE Partnership in this week’s newsletter. Questions about the local nonprofit have been brewing the past several weeks. Two former staffers, a $2 Million grant and a lot of questions. Why isn’t anyone talking?
