ATLANTA — Late Monday, Lambda Legal filed papers in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit defending a lower court ruling that the Georgia General Assembly discriminated against Vandy Beth Glenn, a transgender woman who was fired from her job as Legislative Editor after she told her supervisor that she planned to transition from male to female.

"We're looking forward to making our case at the Eleventh Circuit. It is clear Vandy Beth Glenn was fired because her boss didn't like her as she is. That is unfair and illegal", said Greg Nevins, supervising senior staff attorney in Lambda Legal's Southern Regional Office in Atlanta.
