He merely said he disagreed with homosexuality. So what? So do most Americans. 95% of the people posting here are obviously clueless gays and gay sympathizers pushing their agenda.

The manager is getting married and talks about her upcoming marriage and he thinks he is the one being harassed. What if this were about an interracial wedding, rather than a gay wedding? I also don't like the way he associates being Christian with being anti-gay. There are plenty of open-minded, tolerant, intelligent Christians - some of whom are gay themselves. What a moron.

People can believe whatever they want but they're not allowed to spew it absolutely everywhere. Sadly some wing nuts don't get that. They think because they categorize things as their "religious beliefs" they're allowed to just spread it all over the place in any manner they wish. The reality is that workplace regulations, anti-discrimination laws and the like are designed to protect everyone. The notion some have that there should be "exemptions" for religious beliefs is bunk. If you can't control yourself, behave like a human being to others or do your job because your religion gets in the way you need to re-examine your beliefs.

As for the guy being fired... I don't think he should have been. If he randomly told her that it's wrong, sure, but in this case it seems like she was mentioning it over and over and over; all he did was tell her he didn't agree. Of course, he should have simply asked her to stop talking about it because he didn't agree or some such thing (or, put up with it), but... he should've been reprimanded, not fired.

He told his boss that his religeon and his beliefs class her as a lesser person who is going to hell. That is hostile and it is imposing religeon in the office.

What if it was a customer instead of his boss? How would that look for Brownstone then? He is an idiot. JOB FAIL! So basically he was fired for being a dumb ass who mouthed off to his boss's boss.
