Luke Ash is a pastor and was a library technician in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
Luke is no longer employed at the East Baton Rouge Parish Library, however.
Yep. He says he refused to use someone's "preferred pronouns," which is a fireable offense in library circles.
From Newsweek:
Ash, who had worked at the library as a technician for less than six months, described the events leading up to his dismissal to the conservative Christian political show Washington Watch with Tony Perkins.
He explained that he was talking to a co-worker about a different colleague they were training when he did not use preferred pronouns on July 7.
'That co-worker corrected me, said that the person she was training preferred to be called 'he' and I refused to use those preferred pronouns,' Ash said. 'The next day, I was reprimanded by my supervisor and the head of reference, and Thursday morning, I was fired for it.'
You can watch that Tony Perkins interview with Pastor Ash here:
This is what your public library, which uses local tax dollars to pay for Drag Queen Story hours and host woke children's programming, is doing. Pretty much everywhere.
And now they are apparently picking on Christians, forcing them to violate their conscience or be fired.
According to the local ABC affiliate, Pastor Ash knew that he was going against the library's code of conduct, which requires you to use the language of the LGBT sex cult.
Luke Ash, a former library employee and pastor, said he knows that what he did was against the library's code of conduct for employees, but he says calling his co-workers by the pronouns they identify with would be against his own beliefs ...
The next day his manager gave him a copy of the inclusivity policy and told him they would figure out how to move forward.
'I refused to use preferred pronouns through the course of conversation,' Ash said. 'They got back with me on Thursday morning by giving me the dismissal.'
You can't say he didn't count the cost.
He knew that taking this stand would cost him his job.
But stand he did!
