A teacher in Sydney has alleged she was fired from her job for being gay. After announcing her engagement to work colleagues, Karen Pack states an email from the public was sent to the college imploring the school to distance themselves from her ‘demonic actions’.

Morling College says Ms Pack left the school because she could no longer adhere to the key value of the school about the nature of marriage. 

Equality Australia CEO, Anna Brown, says in all states except the ACT and Tasmania, it is legal for religious institutions to fire staff on the basis of sexuality.
