Accusations of bigotry, racism, whatever are so dramatized and overplayed that they have become ridiculous. There is nothing wrong, for whatever reason, to say homosexuality is wrong, not to be celebrated, protected, or called sick and perverted. There is nothing wrong with saying Islam is evil. There is nothing wrong with saying illegal alien. It is not racist to demand government deport illegal aliens, to not give special rights to homosexuals, to single out people for first-in-line deportation because of the country they are from.
Chick-Fil-A, Mardell, Interstate Batteries, In-N-Out Burgers, Zondervan, Hobby Lobby or similar should hire him.
Exactly. Remove the religious element altogether and homosexuality is still an abomination under “natural law” alone. Biologically it makes no sense. Physically it makes no sense. It is, by definition, abnormal — an aberration that many people find naturally repugnant. No one has to be taught to be nauseated by the sight of two homos tongue-wrestling, anymore than anyone has to be taught to cringe at the smell of feces. The repulsion is innate.
The Left has used racism and bigotry as the all-purpose weapon to shut down debate and scare everyone off, after it has spent decades training people, like Pavlov’s dogs, to melt with guilt at the mere mention of the concepts and to salivate at the opportunity to prove they are not guilty.
Politically correct posturing is self delusion. Those who subject themselves relinquish their freedom and are easy to control. A society that makes such posturing as a prerequisite to employment or admission to educational institutions becomes devoid of social justice. In a perfect world this man would not only be reinstated in his job but the CEO who fired him should be hounded and never be allowed to have any power over others.
The definition of the words “bigot”, “bigotry”, “bigoted”, etc. has been changed several times by the liberal culture-meisters!!!! These words are therefore essentially MEANINGLESS!!!!
Homosexuality is sinful!!!! So is celebration of LGBT “pride”, and the takeover of a whole month for such celebrations.
Pushing LGBT “pride” events on countries such as Serbia and Latvia that want NO PART of them (as the obama/clinton State Department has done) is evil in the extreme!!!! I hope that the Trump State Department has ceased and desisted from such tyrannical oppression!!!!
What needs to happen is a wrongful termination due to religious beliefs law suit needs to be slapped on the company.

Even if you do not believe it, homosexuality is still a sin. Always was and always is. Truth is truth even if you believe otherwise.
“I agree with French and would add that it is possible for non-religious people to think homosexuality is morally wrong.”
Whether or not an abnormality is tolerated by a society depends on whether that abnormality is generally perceived as harmful.
So arsonists who take great pleasure out of setting fires are not tolerated by societies, even if they are “born that way”. But someone born with abnormally poor vision is fully accepted by society.
Whether homosexuality is harmful to society is not quite as self evident. It may take decades for the effects to show up. The fact that the Bible treats it as a sin probably means that in the long run it’s not a good thing.
Arguments are made that one reason the Roman empire fell was because of it’s decadent debauchery.
Time will tell, but I think that societies with traditional sexual mores and family structures will fare better in the long run and may end up dominating those that choose otherwise
Its common sense, even for secularists.
Headline...duh.
the G-d of Israel has laid down the instruction for gays and lesbians and other obamanations.
Love the sinner, hate the sin.
Agreed! Religious freedom is a foundational element of this country.

Tell these libs to ask a Moslem what they think of homos.
Schadenfreude.
Your comment makes way too much sense for many today to understand.
Why is any sin a sin
Homosexuality; the predisposition to be attracted to the same sex, cause unknown; is not inherently sinful; regardless, homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered and always sinful. There are as far as biological and physical science is concerned no homosexual beings; regardless, there are those who mentally 'feel' they may be or are 'homosexual'...
God judges hearts, man judges actions and legitimately discriminates between which actions are good and which actions are not good...
Genesis 18:20-21
20. Then the LORD said, "The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous
21. that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know."
Genesis 19:4-7
4. Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom--both young and old--surrounded the house.
5. They called to Lot, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them."
6. Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him
7. and said, "No, my friends. Don't do this wicked thing.
Leviticus niv
18:22 Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable.
20:13 If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.
Isaiah 3:9 The look on their faces testifies against them; they parade their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them! They have brought disaster upon themselves.
2 Peter 2:13b Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.
Ezekiel 16:49-50
49. "`Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy.
50. They were haughty and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen.
1. But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them--bringing swift destruction on themselves.
2. Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute.
3. In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.
4. For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them into gloomy dungeons to be held for judgment;
5. if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others;
6. if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly;
7. and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the filthy lives of lawless men
8. (for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)--
9. if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from trials and to hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment, while continuing their punishment.
10. This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the sinful nature and despise authority. Bold and arrogant, these men are not afraid to slander celestial beings;
11. yet even angels, although they are stronger and more powerful, do not bring slanderous accusations against such beings in the presence of the Lord.
12. But these men blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like brute beasts, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed, and like beasts they too will perish.
13. They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done. Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.
But there IS hope!!!
1 Corinthians 6:9-11
9. Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived:
Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders
10. nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
11. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
If you could NOT change, you would be in most pitiful shape...
