An Ontario pastor who was fired from a Baptist church after coming out as transgender has filed a lawsuit for wrongful dismissal, alleging her termination was spurred by discrimination.

Rev. Junia Joplin alleges the church is breaching the human rights code and is seeking nearly $200,000 in damages.

She presented as male when she first took on the job of lead pastor at Lorne Park Baptist Church in Toronto in 2014, and continued to do so until she came out to the congregation in a live-streamed sermon in June of last year.
