Former Miss California USA Suing Pageant for Religious Discrimination (and Other Matters):
Religion Clause reports, and links to the complaint:
Former Miss California USA, Carrie Prejean, yesterday filed a lawsuit in a California state court against Miss California pageant officials accusing them of religious discrimination, as well as defamation, disclosure of private medical facts and intentional and negligent infliction of emotional distress. Prejean's title was taken away in June 2009, allegedly for breach of contract.... [Prejean] alleges in part that defendants ... [conspired] to have Prejean dismissed as Miss California USA because she insisted on publicly expressing her religious beliefs opposing same-sex marriage.
