Ikea is being sued by the government in Poland for allegedly infringing upon an employee’s religious rights after he was fired for making horrific anti-LGBT+ comments.
The former Ikea employee, identified as Tomasz K, was fired last year when he refused to take down a homophobic comment he posted on the company’s internal site.
Now, Poland’s anti-LGBT+ government is suing the furniture company, claiming it infringed upon the employee’s religious rights, according to Bloomberg.
Prosecutors in the country – which recently re-elected staunchly homophobic president Andrzej Duda – have charged the IKEA human resources director with restricting the employee’s religious rights.
