Gay Church Employee Fired Over Engagement
NBC 5 Chicago
The music director of a Illinois church lost his job after getting engaged to be married.
Colin Collette got engaged to his longtime partner in Rome last week. But after announcing his big news, he was fired Monday from the Holy Family Church in the suburb of Inverness.
“He’s a little more angry right now at this moment, and understandably so, because I think he’s concerned for me. He knows the church is my life,” Collette said of his partner, William.
