Justice Department Rehires Attorney Fired for Being Gay
Leslie Hagen has returned to her job as an attorney for the Justice Department, 10 months after she was sacked for being gay.

Despite sexual-orientation discrimination protections within the Justice Department, Hagen lost her job. Monica Goodling, senior counsel to Gonzales, was responsible for removing Hagen from her position, and after an investigation by the inspector general it was discovered that Goodling had also been instrumental in preventing Hagen from seeking a new position within the Justice Department.

In attempting to fill Hagen's open position a nationwide search was conducted by the Justice Department. Hagen herself was one of the many who applied, and after several rounds of interviews, Hagen was offered her former position. On Monday, Hagen assumed a permanent position at the department's Executive Office for U.S. Attorneys. (She had formerly worked on a yearly contract basis.)

The good news is that she went from yearly contract to permanent. The bad news is that they have still not admitted guilt and paid her legal fees.
Whatever happened to Monica Goodling?
