I've heard this wrong sentiment expressed on The Five tonight. If one goes to work and, when asked, say they believe homosexuality is OK, there is no repercussions. If one goes to work (in many places) and, when asked, say that they believe homosexuality is wrong, you stand a very good chance of being demoted, past over, or even fire (as Phil found out). This isn't expressing an opinion as much as being truthful about one's moral value.
Society can't deal with the truth because of coercion. And, yes, people have the right to boycott A&E. People have just as much right to decide who they're going to support with their money as companies have in worrying about their customer base.
Take Carrie Underwood for example. She says she is a Christian - I don’t know her heart - only God does. She seems to have some values. However, when asked this question she came back with - i can’t imagine someone not being able to marry the person they love. So, all was well within the liberal circles as she didn’t say it was a sin - she is now the darling of the leftist crowd for her favor of homosexual marriage - and she lost all credibility with me. Am I judging her? Not necessarily, but I think her career is more important to her than her faith. You shall know them by their fruits. Anyone who embraces this deviant lifestyle - whether or not they engage in it - tells me they don’t believe what the Bible says. JMO, of course.
it’s discrimination
Phil should file a claim based on religious and sexual orientation discrimination
