Gee.... why can't we go back to the days of "don't ask don't tell" ?

According to my grandmother, Liberace was just flamboyant, not gay. Yeah, like I really bought that line. :=)

Even Antoine Dodson gets it

The 1st applies to government action, not private sector...

Bryan Mills ‏@BryanMills Spoke w/ a student worker at @UofA finance dep't who said the university was sill "gathering information" before responding re: Adam Smith.

[Col Frank Slade]

Al Sharpton’s co-host.

[Gay State Conservative]

Let's hope he has a term of unemployment equal to the length of time Osama Obama spends in the White House as well as total bankruptcy.I hope to soon see him at an intersection near me,unshaven,holding a “please help” cardboard sign.

[Ronin]

Sweeeeet!!!!!!

Goes good with morning coffee!

Many execs have morals & ethics clauses in their contracts. They can be fired for unethical behaviors arising from any time. I once had a contract that required I dress appropriately at all times, never to be seen as a bum or unshaven. That sucked. I’ll never sign one of those again.

"Not a gay in me.”

Parsing...notice he was restricting his declaration to the present.

LOL! Quite Clintonesque.

"According to my grandmother, Liberace was just flamboyant, not gay. Yeah, like I really bought that line."

Matt Damon, Michael Douglas Play Lovers in Liberace HBO Movie

Since he enjoys putting himself on camera so much, maybe Adam Smith can get a bit role as one of Liberace's spurned lovers.

First Amendment doesn’t apply in this situation, not many realize that. See post 33.

[Future Snake Eater]

So there is justice in this world. Excellent.

[voicereason]

Was hostile and not properly done but don’t feel someone should be fired to expressing political views unless there’s some other interest at stake.

Except in this case, he chose to advertise the act and had his employer and title attached. He's an officer of the company, he should have known better. The company did the right thing.

“Not a gay in me(at this moment, but probably later), I just can’t stand the hate.”

[Elsiejay]

Can’t “stand the hate.”

The only hate exhibited has been that directed against Chick-Fil-A and its owners and employees.

I called the University of Arizona and they cannot discuss whether he still has a job. The woman with whom I spoke agreed that the girl showed total class.

[TASMANIANRED]

15 minutes of fame has consequences.

[Iron Munro]

awfully hateful for someone who “can’t stand the hate“

He "doth protest too much, methinks."

A man at the CFO level takes the time to wait in a long line at a crowded fast food operation to scam a free water and harangue a front line employee about an issue (homosexualism) with which he claims to have no interest or involvement.

IMHO he's closet queer and can't admit it - even to himself.

[Josephat]

I think he is also a college professor. Scary to think that we spend thousands to expose our children to idiots like this.
