A federal judge’s landmark ruling, just made public, flips the script on LGBT rights, discrimination, and the workplace.

Gayle Myrick was a magistrate in North Carolina for many years who was forced to resign because of her religious beliefs — until a judge just ruled forcing her to resign was, in fact, discrimination. When same-sex marriage became legal, Myrick didn’t want to stop any couple from getting married, but she also knew that her religious beliefs prevented her from performing a same-sex wedding ceremony. Since performing weddings was a small part of her work, Gayle tried to change her shift so she wasn’t working when marriage ceremonies were performed. However, the state government rejected this reasonable accommodation and forced Gayle to resign.
