James Domen v Vimeo

As you may recall, in 2019, Advocates took on a case against Vimeo, a video sharing platform, to fight against the increasing problem of social media sites discriminating against Christian views. The lawsuit asserts that Vimeo discriminated against Pastor Jim Domen and deleted his account because Jim Domen is a Christian who identifies as a former homosexual who is now married to his wife of three children. Vimeo considers his message of love and redemption to be hateful.
