A bakery in Texas has been accused of anti-LGBTQ harassment and discrimination by two former employees, a gay man and a lesbian woman.
Gilbert Johnson and Katherine Phillips have filed two separate lawsuits against Dessert Gallery in Houston, alleging the bakery violated their civil rights in terminating their employment.
Johnson, former general manager of the bakery, and Phillips allege that they were fired due to their sexual orientation after facing “offensive” comments from coworkers and having to defend a transgender coworker against anti-trans harassment.
