Former Atlanta Fire Chief, Fired Over Book Storm, Files Complaint; Reuters via New York Times, 1/23/15

Reuters via New York Times; Former Atlanta Fire Chief, Fired Over Book Storm, Files Complaint:
"Reed said earlier this month Cochran was not fired due to his religious beliefs, but rather because of questions that arose about his "judgment and ability to manage the department" in connection with the book.
Reed said the city has a clear policy that forbids discrimination based on sexual orientation and that Cochran's published views could be a legal liability.
Cochran consulted the city's ethics officer but not the mayor before he published the book, Reed said."
