This one's complicated for sure. I doubt the actions taken against the student were only about reassigning the client. She's a student in practicum, and her supervisor recommended the reassignment. They can say it was a bad decision, but ultimately that falls on the supervisor.
That said, if she kept on refusing to take on homosexual clients, she was violating the ethical standards of the American Counseling Association, which it sounds like she was required to adhere to if she wanted to stay in school. Sounds like the wrong career choice for her, for sure.
