MILTON — An all-girls Catholic school has settled a lawsuit brought by the GLBTQ Legal Advocates & Defenders (GLAD), alleging that the school violated state anti-discrimination law when it rescinded an offer of employment to a man married to his same-sex partner.
The settlement between Fontbonne Academy in Milton and Matthew Barrett of Dorchester comes almost five months after a Massachusetts judge ruled that the Catholic school did not qualify for the religious exemption from state employment non-discrimination laws and thus had no legal justification for its actions.
