Christian school worker fired for anti-LGBTQ+ Facebook posts wins appeal.

A Christian school worker, Kristie Higgs, who was dismissed from her role in 2019 after sharing Facebook posts criticising LGBTQ+ inclusion, has won an appeal overturning a previous ruling that upheld her dismissal. Higgs made the posts in 2018 following a letter from her son’s Church of England primary school stating it would be using the No Outsiders programme to promote diversity and inclusion. A parent reported Higgs posts to her employer who suspended her, and after a six-hour disciplinary hearing, dismissed her for gross misconduct. The judge allowed an appeal against the decision of Bristol Employment Tribunal.
