Kelly Bardier and Jaci Pfeiffer were fired last month after their employers became aware of their lesbian relationship. The couple both worked at Aloma Methodist Early Childhood Learning Center in Winter Park, Florida as daycare workers, Kelly for 8 months and Jaci for almost 2 years, the Religion News website reports today (April 28, 2015).
On March 18, School Director Barbara Twatchman confronted the couple after hearing rumors of their relationship. When the women confessed that they were dating, Twatchman gave them an ultimatum.
"We were called into the director's office and told that if we chose to continue living a life of sin, we would be terminated, but if we decided not to be gay anymore, we could keep our jobs," Bardier said.
The two didn't work together in an official capacity. They drove to work together and every now and then assisted in some of the projects in each other's classroom, but that was the extent of their work relationship.
