Heterosexual gym teacher’s discrimination lawsuit against lesbian boss
It is argued that the only one being discriminated by A&E is the “Duck Dynasty” star that offered his unfiltered opinion on homosexuality, after they placed the opinionated Phil Robertson on “indefinite hiatus” in the wake of his now famous magazine interview.
At the same time, there is an interesting lawsuit developing centered on “reverse sexual orientation discrimination”. The Daily Caller Education Editor Eric Owens files these details:
A gym teacher in New York City has filed a lawsuit claiming that his lesbian boss at a posh private school sacked him because he is straight, happily married and has three children with his heterosexual wife.
Plaintiff Gregory Kenney taught physical education for 16 years at the Trinity School, a fancypants K-12 school on Manhattan’s Upper West Side where tuition is over $40,000 per kid per year.
The suit additionally claims that Krieger had asked Kenney not to attend social events because he is an older, straight male with a wife and kids and “routinely favored other single, younger females without children.”
“He had been doing this for so many years and he certainly did the job well or they would have gotten rid of him a long time ago,” Kenney’s lawyer, Steven Morelli told The Post.
Kenney, who lives on Long Island, has 7-year-old twins and a 9-year-old. He is still seeking a new coaching job.
The Trinity School had no comment about the suit.
The swanky school is the alma mater of several prominent alumni including self-absorbed writer Truman Capote, heiress Ivanka Trump, limousine leftist Katrina vanden Heuvel and once hilariously-petulant tennis star John McEnroe.
Kenney, 50, was fired in June 2012, reports the New York Post. He asserts that gay athletic director Pat Krieger despised him for his “traditional family status” ever since she took over in 2009.
The discrimination suit claims that Krieger attempted to force Kenney to coach three sports — soccer, basketball and golf — even though his contract only mandated that he coach two teams.
When Coach Kenney protested about the burden of working extra nights and weekends because he wanted to spend more time with him wife and children, Krieger balked.
“We all make choices,” she said, according to the lawsuit.
Meanwhile, Kenney’s complaint alleges, “a single, female teacher faced no scrutiny when she refused to coach a third season.”
The suit claims that Krieger ran off three other married coaches who have young kids and notes that Kenney’s replacement is a gay female.

Comments
This comment is based entirely on my own experiences – but has been repeatedly reinforced over many years:
In my personal experience angry man-hating (and hetero-hating) lesbians are a vindictive group. Disclaimer – yes, there are hateful heteros, gays, bi’s, whites, blacks etc.
But that said – liberal feminist man-hating lesbians are just vile horrible people. While honestly believing in their noble cause they discriminate, marginalize, destroy careers, wreck marriages, and seek to punish all around them who don’t kowtow to their belief system.
I’ve had them come after me for DEBATING them on issues. Case in point: Debated a bi feminist on a moderate feminist BBS on the wage gap. I politely destroyed her argument. For this she went after my job.
Another time I debated DV with a feminist woman who, for some reason kept interjecting her lesbianism into the debate. It greatly angered her that I dared to point out that women can be violent, men can be victims, and once I brought up lesbian DV she flipped out. She went after my marriage.
In both cases both women BRAGGED about their actions on the BBS’ we were debating on. None of the feminist women, who deny false allegations or such tactics are condoned by women, condemned them. In fact they were cheered on by the other women.
I have many more examples, and, yes, they are anecdotal, but IMO lesbian feminist women see men as the enemy and are perfectly fine with the idea of open and hostile discrimination towards men and heterosexuals.
Next thing you will hear coming out of Trinity is lesbian student-teacher relationships. They have cleared the field and re populated it with their own for a purpose.
What’s deplorable to me is the lack of support Trinity gave Mr. Kenney after 16 years as a coach – a rare occurrence and obvious accomplishment. The school is out of place in taking the PC position. Their unwillingness to say no to Ms. Krieger shows it allowed partisanship, unreasonable judgment, and disregard for achievement. Three areas of treatment teenagers are quite sensitive to. The students will soon see the hidden angry side of the female group that for far too long has demanded sympathy.
