Former Employee of Library of Congress Sues Claiming Anti-Gay Religious Harassment

WRC reported Thursday that a former Library of Congress management analyst has filed suit after he was fired on Friday. He had been on leave without pay since October.  Plaintiff, Peter TerVeer, who is gay, alleges he was harassed for more than a year by a supervisor who repeatedly cited Bible passages condemning homosexuality.  In 2009, his supervisor sent him an e-mail reading: "Jesus ... prohibited sexual immorality, including homosexuality, adultery and pre-marital sex." TerVeer says he is now out of money and has recently been evicted.
