In 2019, Marlean Ames applied for a promotion at the Ohio Department of Youth Services, where she had worked for 15 years. She didn’t get the job.
A few weeks later, despite an exemplary work record, Ames was demoted and her pay was cut nearly in half. Her former position was given to a 25-year-old gay man. Ames alleges her boss, who is gay, denied her promotion and then demoted her because she’s straight. So she sued her employer for discrimination.
