- An openly gay, conservative Christian lawyer sued Lucid Software May 22 for allegedly firing him due to his religious beliefs and because he didn’t conform to its stereotyped expectations of gay men, after he posted comments on X critical of transgender policies.
- Per the complaint in Maragani v. Lucid Software, Inc., the company partners with Equality Utah, a nonprofit organization advocating for LGBTQ+ legislation. The lawyer alleged that based on his sincerely-held views as a Christian, and outside of and separate from work, he posted comments on X critical of Equality Utah’s support for biological men using female locker rooms and gender transition for children, among other issues.

He was also told he could be terminated if the posts continued, according to the complaint. He was later fired for “poor performance,” the lawsuit alleged.
