More of You Could Be Fired for Getting Married
Tyler McCubbin had been a substitute social studies teacher at Dowling Catholic High School in West Des Moines, Iowa, since last fall. He also volunteered as a sports coach. This spring, he applied for a full-time teaching job at the school.
As part of the hiring process, school administrators did a background check and what they call a “social media scan.” The latter turned up something that disqualified McCubbin from employment at the school. It wasn’t a criminal record or a fabrication on his résumé. It was his engagement to marry another man.
McCubbin’s case, reported in The Des Moines Register this month, is just the latest example of what might be characterized as an unintended consequence of marriage equality — religiously affiliated institutions firing or deciding not to hire people who are engaged or married to a same-sex partner. In some cases these people are longtime employees whose homosexuality becomes an issue to their bosses only when they make a “public declaration” by marrying.
With the spread of marriage equality, such situations are likely to become more common. At present, 37 states and the District of Columbia allow same-sex marriages; in one other state, Missouri, some cities and counties have marriage equality. The U.S. Supreme Court will hear cases challenging marriage bans in four states April 28, and a favorable ruling could result in nationwide marriage equality.
