Gay vice principal suing Eastside Catholic, archdiocese

A vice principal dismissed from Eastside Catholic School after he married his partner in a legal same-sex ceremony, is reportedly suing the school and Archdiocese of Seattle for discrimination.

KING-5 reports Marks Zmuda’s lawsuit will be filed on Friday.

Zmuda’s dismissal prompted a firestorm of reaction from students and supporters who rallied outside the Sammamish school and in front of the archdiocese for weeks.

Eastside Catholic president Sister Mary Tracy resigned following public outcry.

The school issued a statement Thursday afternoon: “In response to Mr. Zmuda’s lawsuit, our attorneys will
immediately file a motion to dismiss the complaint.”
