Tennessee Christian School Pays Former Student Barred From Graduation $10,000 After Coming Out As Lesbian
A former student at Tennessee Christian Preparatory School, in Cleveland (Tennessee, USA), obtained compensation of US$10,000 (equivalent to R$52,000) in a lawsuit against the institution. Morgan Armstrong alleged she was barred from attending her high school graduation after coming out as lesbian, a case that reflects the persistent challenges faced by LGBTQ+ students in religious settings.
During the process, Morgan, who was a standout basketball player at the Christian school, reported being suspended just two weeks before her graduation ceremony. The young woman, then 18 years old, had recently made her relationship with Sophie Bryant official, according to information released by the NY Post newspaper.
The school, in turn, defended itself by denying that the ban on Morgan’s participation in graduation had anything to do with his sexual orientation. The institution argued that the measure was taken due to a message of “derogatory content” that the student had shared in a private group of friends.

Morgan Armstrong made his sexuality public in April of the previous year, through a post on Facebook, where he declared that “the secret is out” and requested support from his contacts on the social network.
In her publication, she urged: “Go and comment on my post. There are some insufferable guys who support Trump and call themselves followers of Jesus commenting there”, expressing fear that the repercussion of the news could generate a family conflict.
