Fed-up Wal-Mart worker quits over pro-'gay' agenda

So... gay people are the best and brightest among us? Genetically better or are they smarter because they have figured out new and exciting uses for their pee pees?

Silence on this issue retains the good will of the population that views homosexual behavior as undesirable without antagonizing homosexual practitioners and their supporters. Therefore, it would seem the smart business move for stockholders, customers, employees and everyone else would be “no comment.”

… the gay community isn't that small, only 2% of the population self-identifies as gay on surveys but the real numbers are somewhat bigger. (4% wouldn't surprise me.)

Let’s see… your own figures mean that 96 percent, or more, of the population is not homosexual. Other sources claim that over 80 percent of the population is Christian. Christianity holds that homosexual behavior is sinful and should be avoided. Therefore, even if only half of those who are identified as Christian sincerely hold those beliefs, the proportion of the population that takes offense at homosexual agenda support from a major corporation is many times greater than the proportion you cite as homosexual. Therefore, the logic of my statement continues to stand unrefuted.

More importantly, there are a lot of people who find they have a gay relative or an old friend who turns out to be gay, or gay colleagues. They realize that gays are ordinary people and are no threat to them. So there are plenty of straight people who are sympathetic to gay people now.

Unfortunately, I have a relative who claims to be a lesbian. Such does not make me sympathetic to her in any sense other than sincere regret for her choice and earnest hope for her reform. There is no reason to assume that the majority of others who have a relative in similar circumstances view the situation any differently.

But the other reason these companies cater to the gay lobby is that if you want to recruit technical and creative talent for your company, you'd best not be allergic to gay people.

Again, let’s examine the question raised by the logical implication of your statement. Are you claiming that the distribution of “technical and creative talent” is some how restricted to the homosexual segment of the population? Perhaps, you are implying that there is not an adequate distribution of “technical and creative talent” among those individuals who are not homosexual?

Assuming that “technical and creative talent” follows a Gaussian distribution in the population (as do nearly all other traits), then there is no reason to assume that even if a company actively refused to hire homosexual practitioners, they would exclude more than 2 percent of the potentially available pool of “technical and creative talent.” Stating that position in the reverse, these companies would still have access to 98 percent of the available pool of qualified resources.

And the ones who are straight that you've already hired might be very sympathetic to gay people, and would bolt if you transmitted the message that gay people are not welcome at your firm or might be poorly treated at your firm.

Conversely, those who are straight that you have already hired might be very offended and might bolt if you transmit the message that you support the homosexual agenda… to wit, the individual cited in the article posted at the beginning of this thread.

I'm a math professor, so I know a lot of these kind of people. The academic culture at even small red state schools is now very pro-gay, if you are uncomfortable around gay people you're going to be an unhappy camper.

I served as adjunct faculty for both graduate and undergraduate courses in engineering, forensics and simulation (a field, no doubt, with which you are familiar) at two different universities for a number of years. Amazingly enough, I do not ever recall asking any of my fellow instructors, my students, or the organization administrators about their sexual preference, nor do I recall them volunteering such information. It would seem that silence concerning such personal items was not only appropriate etiquette, but was also conducive to good working relationships. Why would the situation be any different for good business relationships?

It doesn't bother me. My point being that the technical and creative people come from the university environments, and share the same culture.

I don’t think you realize how insulting and condescending your comments appear. No technical and creative people come from other sources than university environments? All of those who come from university environment have the same opinion concerning homosexual practitioners? Because you do not have a problem with this issue, no one should?

I made comments reflecting my own experience. If you find this insulting or condescending, I am sorry. But I stand by my post.

No, I wasn't saying gay people are the best and the brightest, just that the university technical/creative culture is often gay friendly, and that some of these folks are indeed gay.

And your post drips with hate. Why?

more reason to buy food from Schwans...

[bboop]

I think the GayLesbo crowd is doing shakedowns with these companies. Like Jesse Jackson did. Some stand and will not fall, many cave and pander.

Yuck.

[NickatNite2003]

You mean the American Pederast Association???

These are the same "psychiatrists that are
trying to get pedophilia and incest, *decriminalized*.

These APA freak perverts, have been "empathizing"
and vicariously expirienecing with their sicko
patients so long, that they've acquired their
their hungers and apetites...and now want to get
them decriminalized, so that if and when *they*
get caught being sicko perverts, they won't get
sent to an institution for perverts.

The APA is a bunch of souless, sicko, leftard
plague rats too...just like the ACLU..allways
talking about the "good" they are doing,
attacking and destroying one moral standard
or precept after another..., whith their pieces
of emergency toilet paper "degees".

And your post drips with hate.

LOL!! Questioning your ridiculous assertion that we marginalize the sexually degenerate in our society to our own peril is "hate"?! For which paper do you write?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Thanks, I needed good laugh today!

I think it's fair to say almost all politically correct universities are militantly secularist in their orientation. Thus it would be no surprise that in this environment that homosexuality would not be recognized for what it really is, one more step in that march for turning humanity into barnyard animals "soul less creatures".

Is the only part of your post you stand by?

Do you not wish to attempt to address the portions of my post that refuted your earlier post?

Alternately, do you concede that your earlier post was logically defeated?

[I'm ALL Right!]

It makes me so angry that gay and lesbian people have this need to fully define themselves by their sexual preference. Is there nothing else about their lives that is worth talking about? Honestly, most homosexuals I have known are the most creative, energetic people. Can't they think of themselves as something other than "gay?"

Why on EARTH does any company (aside from one making sex toys, etc) need to create an entire marketing division focused on attracting people with a certain sexual preference? They did not hire a "heterosexual marketing" group, or a "beastiality marketing" group. Where is the "pedophile marketing" division? What other sexual preferences can they create an entire marketing division for?

Reprehensible and discriminatory. I guess I'll have to drive the extra miles to shop at Crest.

American Psychiatric Association??? What a joke. A bunch of whacked out nutjobs themselves deciding that other whacked out nutjobs are OK? On what basis do they make that determination? Who are they to say this is normal and on what basis?

Simple biology alone tells you it's not. But I guess that's just too obvious for the brainwashed educated elite to figure out.

I don't have his name handy but it is probably worth mentioning at some time in the future.

I think the leader of that "drive" was a female. Will check.
