NCLR Files Suit Against SD Mesa

This hasn't received a lot of publicity; but, I received the press release July 24th; and, I'm FINALLY getting around to posting something about it. My bad.

The National Center for Lesbian Rights (NCLR) and the law firms of Boxer & Gerson, LLP and Stock Stephens, LLP filed a lawsuit today in state court in San Diego, California on behalf of Lorri Sulpizio, the former Head Coach of the women’s basketball team at San Diego Mesa College (Mesa), and Cathy Bass, the former Director of Basketball Operations at Mesa. The complaint alleges that, despite Sulpizio’s and Bass’s dedication and demonstrated track record of success leading the women’s basketball program at the community college, Mesa officials unlawfully fired both coaches at the end of the 2007 academic year after they spoke out about the unequal treatment of female athletes and women coaches and following publication in a local paper of an article identifying them as domestic partners.

Somehow I doubt this will receive as much media attention as the Stacy Johnson-Klein lawsuit against Fresno State. Gee, I wonder why?
