 Two Kansas librarians were fired after the library board mistook an autism symbol (neurodiversity infinity symbol) for a Pride display. They're suing.

"On June 22, Ruth Splitter, a temporary summer library employee, complained about the display to Lancaster, saying she found the “gay Pride” symbol offensive and going into “an anti-LGBT diatribe” even though Lancaster explained that the infinity symbol represented neurodiversity and autism."
