The lawsuit, filed by longtime lifeguard Jeffrey Little, accuses L.A. County of religious discrimination for requiring him to work at lifeguard tower near a Pride flag last summer.
A longtime Los Angeles County lifeguard stationed in Pacific Palisades near a stretch beloved by gay beachgoers is suing the county for requiring him to work feet away from a Pride flag last summer and punishing him for taking three of the flags down. The lawsuit, filed in federal court May 24 a week before this year's Pride month kicks off, brings the county’s sparkling coastline squarely into the nation's culture wars.
At Little's request, his bosses initially agreed to give him a religious accommodation and change his shift so he could work at a site that didn't have a flag, the lawsuit said. When he arrived at Dockweiler Beach on June 21 — one of the sites he alleged was supposed to be flagless — Little said he found the Pride flag hoisted at three nearby facilities, according to a complaint he filed with the county.
