Depositions filed in the case of a transgender woman who was fired from her job as an editor for the Georgia General Assembly are shedding new light on the causes for her dismissal as she attempts to regain her job.

Lambda Legal, a national LGBT legal organization, filed a federal lawsuit on behalf of Vandy Beth Glenn after she was fired from her job as a legislative editor in 2007 when she announced her intention to transition from male to female on the job.

At issue is whether Georgia Legislative Counsel Sewell Brumby acted legally when he fired Glenn.
