The leaders of Georgia's legislative branch have asked a federal judge to dismiss a lawsuit filed by a transgender employee who claims she lost her job once she announced her intention to transition full time to a woman.
Vandiver Elizabeth Glenn claims she was fired from her job as a legislative editor last year when she announced her decision to transition. A lawsuit filed July 22 by Glenn names Speaker of the House Glenn Richardson (R-Hiram), Senate President Pro-Tempore Eric Johnson (R-Savannah), Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle, lawyer Sewell Brumby and Robyn Underwood, the state's legislative financial officer.
