Well, this is relatively good news, although the outcome could have been better. CNN is reporting the following in their piece DMV Employee Resigns Over Letter Condemning Customer To Hell:

    A California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) employee who allegedly wrote a letter to a transgender woman and condemned her to hell has resigned, officials said Thursday.

[...]

    The attorney for the transgender woman said the employee should have been fired, instead of being allowed to resign.

Quote"I have learned that the reason for the vast majority of gender change operations is the client's homosexual orientation," the letter dated October 22 states. "The homosexual act is an abomination that leads to hell."
Yust said she also got a pamphlet from a church, which she said contained offensive material directed at her sexual orientation and gender.

I wonder who the DMV employee went to get her education.  My guess is a church, always a great place to go to get accurate, unbiased LGBT info.

But the California DMV really weaseled out of this one.  Administrative leave?  Resignation?  Why not a firing?

QuoteAccording to Yust and her attorney, the DMV employee used her confidential personal information to send the letter.

And doing that doesn't result in a firing?
