| Subject: Lawyers Claim It's Legal to Discriminate Against Gay People in Missouri as It Fights $20 Million Verdict Tue Nov 26, 2019 8:10 pm | |
| Lawyers representing St. Louis County are challenging a $20 million verdict in a gay officer’s lawsuit, claiming it is legal to discriminate against gay people in Missouri. Police Sgt. Keith Wildhaber alleged in his lawsuit that he had been passed over for a promotion 23 times and was told to “tone down your gayness.” The verdict was announced in October. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that the county’s new legal team, the Lewis Rice law firm, is asking a judge to amend the verdict or order a new trial. It argues that Wildhaber brought his suit under the Missouri Human Rights Act, which offers no protection against sexual orientation discrimination. A spokesman for Page says mediation is still planned with the hope of reaching a settlement.
