Gina Ramacci used to be the assistant softball coach at Florida Gulf Coast University. But, the school decided not to renew her contract after a student accused her of misconduct in a sexual nature. An investigation into the matter though found no wrong doing had been done. Ramacci does have a reason for her being fired though and that is because she is openly gay. Not to long ago another female coach was fired from her job that was also gay. All Ramacci is asking for in her case though is for her job back and back pay.
Nobody should be fired for their sexual preference in any job. But, it does happen and it is something becoming more prevalent as more people become open about it. While this is still going on the workplace may be more equal for minorities but in a way homosexuals are now going through exactly what the minorities did in the past. In Ramacci’s case if she was found not guilty of committing any sexual violations with one of her athletes then she should not have been fired. However, if in fact there was some evidence against her then i can understand the reason she was not brought back to coach more. Some players would not want to come to a school where one of the coaches has been sexually active with another player.
