I'm thinking specifically about the case where the woman sued McDonalds because she would not wear pants.
However, isn't it the same concept in reverse in some churches if a woman will not wear a dress? Can you sue a church for discrimination in treatment if a female gets reprimanded by the pastor if she comes to church in slack suits, trims her hair and wears makeup and jewelry? Wouldn't it be true that if one can sue a corporation for discrimination, then one can sue a church because they become incorporated when they apply for and obtain a 501 c 3 tax-exempt status?
Not that it would be the Christian thing to sue a church for that unless they caused gross defamation of your character to where your children even suffer for that defamation.

AYR, the problem with that analogy is that they hired her
knowing and agreeing that she would not be required to wear the slacks as long as she wore a black skirt. McDonalds was the one who broke the contract, which opened them up to a lawsuit of religious discrimination. Had they just said that she was not what they were looking for (no other explanation needed or given) there would not have been a problem. This was not the case.
People who wish to hold a lesser standard than the church are not forbidden from attending as long as they are not stirring up strife within the congregation. They will just not be used for anything other than the general maintenance of the church (church cleanings, fundraisers, etc.)
