A former employee of Miami-Dade County in Florida is suing the county’s board of commissioners after he says he was fired over his Christian beliefs about transgender ideology and his refusal to attend punitive “diversity training.”

John Labriola, who served as a media aide for the Miami-Dade County Board of Commissioners from 2013 to 2021, wrote an opinion piece that was included in the March 2021 edition of Sophie’s Voice (pdf), a newsletter published by Sophie Publishing House Inc.
