Lisa Howe, Former Belmont Coach, Allegedly Fired For Being Gay

Belmont University's former head soccer coach Lisa Howe may have been dismissed from her post because she is a lesbian, according to the Tennessean.

Howe told her team that she would be leaving the Christian-affiliated university late last week, shortly after announcing that she and her partner were expecting a baby in May. Howe had been denied permission to share this information with her team.

Belmont Athletics Director Mike Strickland said in an e-mail Thursday night that Howe had resigned voluntarily. On Friday morning, however, Strickland sent out a second e-mail stating that her removal had been mutually decided by her and Belmont officials, reports the Belmont Vision.
