Avery Bonestroo, who identifies as bisexual and gender fluid, claims policies at Iowa’s Dordt University discriminate against homosexual and transgendered behavior. “I fear that I will be forbidden to graduate or forced to participate in conversion therapy if I do come out,” Bonestroo said.

Students who identify as gay and transgender sued the U.S. Department of Education on Monday to stop it from giving money to the institutions they attend. The students are enrolled at or graduated from more than two dozen religious universities such as Baylor, Bob Jones, Brigham Young, Fuller, Dordt, Cedarville, and Liberty—all of which receive federal funding.

A federal judge late Thursday struck down the remaining numerical and percentage caps on worship in the U.S. capital.

The Washington state Supreme Court earlier this month revived a bisexual lawyer’s 2017 lawsuit against Seattle’s Union Gospel Mission. Plaintiff Matthew Woods claims the mission illegally discriminated against him when it declined to hire him for a staff attorney position after he disclosed he was in a same-sex relationship.

A federal appeals court Thursday rejected a Washington high school football coach’s claim that he had a right to kneel and pray at the 50-yard line at the end of football games.

The Bremerton School District fired Coach Joseph Kennedy in 2015 because he defied directives by school officials to end his longtime practice of kneeling in a short, midfield prayer after games. Players, other students, and parents often joined him. Kennedy lost challenges to his firing in federal district court and in the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

Prosecutors withdrew all but one charge against James Coates, his attorneys said Wednesday. The pastor’s church had continued gathering in person despite health orders in Edmonton, Alberta, limiting worship meetings to 15 percent capacity. After warnings and fines, authorities jailed Coates on Feb. 16, conditioning bail on his agreement to follow restrictions. Officials will likely release him in the next few days, the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms, which is representing him, said Wednesday.

Christian doctors and hospitals are asking an appeals court to preemptively stop the federal government from requiring them to perform gender reassignment surgeries. Their attorneys squared off against the federal government and American Civil Liberties Union in oral arguments on Wednesday. The case highlights concern among Christian healthcare workers that President Joe Biden’s administration will require them to participate in practices that violate their faith.
