Shelly Fitzgerald was suspended last month from her job at Roncalli High School, a private Catholic school in Indianapolis, after administrators learned she’s married to a woman.

WFYI’s Carter Barrett sat down with Fitzgerald and her lawyer, David Page, to discuss the future of a case that could have national impact.
