She Was Fired More Than 20 Years Ago For Being Gay. Her Lawsuit Was Settled Last Week.

More than 20 years ago, Alicia Pedreira was fired from her job after her superiors learned she is a lesbian.

Pedreira was working as a family specialist at a group home operated by Kentucky Baptist Homes for Children, now Sunrise Children’s Services. But, that ended when a photo publicly emerged of her and her partner at the time.

Pedreira’s firing jumpstarted a legal saga and a lawsuit that was just settled last week, ending with a promise from the state government that they would stop the religious proselytization of children living in tax-payer funded, residential child care homes.

Sunrise Children’s Services, which operates those types of homes, has appealed the settlement, which would prevent them from providing children with religious materials without the child’s permission.

Today, much has changed for Pedreira. She is 58, working for Habitat for Humanity and not in a relationship with the woman who she started this journey with — partially because of the stress of the lawsuit.
