Vicky and Keith Brett won $70,000 in compensation after an employment tribunal ruled that the pair were the victims of discrimination due to their employer making offensive comments about the couple’s transgender son.
According to Metro, the couple was told by their boss Kate Forman, company director for Khi-Ro Limited in Cambridgeshire, that their son was “evil and going to hell”, resulting in the pair suing the organisation in 2018.
In the final panel ruling, employment judge Michael Ord stated: “Both claimants were the victims of direct discrimination on the protected characteristic of gender reassignment when they were told by Kate Forman that their transgender son was evil and going to hell that they were going to hell for supporting.
