Man Faces Losing Home, Has Pay Cut Over 35% for Opposing Gay Marriage
Pundit Press ^ | 10/24/11 | Aurelius

Posted on 10/24/2011 9:06:35 AM PDT by therightliveswithus

Adrian Smith, a 54-year-old father of two, posted on his private Facebook account that he disapproves of gay marriage because of his Christian beliefs. He wrote that allowing homosexuals to wed would be "an equality too far." It is important to point out that the comment could only be viewed by Mr. Smith's confirmed friends on Facebook, and was not public.

Instead of being allowed to voice his right to free speech, he was brought in front of his employers, the Trafford Housing Trust in Greater Manchester. They declared that he was guilty of "gross misconduct."

As a consequence, they cut his pay by over £10,000, from £35,000 a year to £21,396...

With such a severe decrease in salary, Mr. Smith now faces the prospect of losing his house.

The mental institutions/forced psych drugs come next, along with taking custody of our children. Finally burning at the stake while they dance around with pitchforks while having a sodomy orgy.

When I do that sometimes mods will remove it if I hit abuse on myself and explain why.

I’m on Facebook because my extended family is. That said, I don’t post anything I wouldn’t say in public, in front of strangers: no sex, politics, religion or money.

They better start firing Mooz Lames in droves. Maybe a good pass time would be collecting comments on the topic made by various Mooz Lames on their pages, blogs, and whatnot. Hmmmmm .....

Does Trafford Housing Trust employee any Mooze Lames?

And the history teacher in FL was reprimanded in some way I can’t remember, pretty recently too. Would hope I’d remember something a short while ago.

"...posted on his private Facebook account.."

His mistake was believing that he had privacy.
