Anthony, now Aimee, Stephens, who was fired from his work at a funeral home when he told his boss he'd be "transitioning."

"The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said the RG & GR Harris Funeral Homes Inc in Detroit unlawfully discriminated against Aimee Stephens, formerly known as Anthony Stephens, based on her sex. It also said the funeral home failed to establish that the federal workplace law, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, substantially burdened the ability of funeral home owner Thomas Rost, a devout Christian, to exercise his religious rights in his treatment of Stephens."
