A high school guidance counselor at an Indianapolis Catholic high school will be out of a job soon because she's in a same-sex marriage.

In 2009, Lynn Starkey was recognized as teacher of the year. Now, 10 years later, Roncalli High School, a Catholic school, is choosing not to renew her for next year, saying her same-sex marriage is in breach of her contract.

Starkey's attorney filed an initial complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in November. That's the first step before a lawsuit.

Starkey and her attorney are claiming the decision not to renew her for next year is the result of discrimination.

"There are more than 60 schools in the Archdiocese of Indianapolis and thousands of employees, and Shelly Fitzgerald and Lynn Starkey are the only ones we know of who have been asked, 'Are you violating church teachings?'" said Kathleen Delaney, Starkey's attorney. "… It also sends the wrong message to the students who go to school there, some of whom are members of the LGBTQ community."

Her attorney says they will wait for two months, then Starkey can try her case in court.
