By Town Hall, Aug. 28, 2018

Fifteen additional states have now joined Nebraska in supporting a Michigan funeral home’s right to fire a transgender employee.

In 2013, R.G. & G.R. Harris Funeral Homes terminated the employment of Anthony Stephens, after Stephens told a supervisor of his plans to become “Aimee”, and transition from being a man to being a woman. Stephens intended to begin dressing like and identifying as a woman one year prior to his planned surgery. He had been employed at the funeral home since 2007, as a funeral director and embalmer.
