Reply #66: Flagrant hypocrisy

[Scuadrado]

It's kind of funny how he first talks about how he told her that he thinks "homosexuality is bad stuff" and then goes on to say that controversial things shouldn't be discussed in the workplace at all. Hmmm, ya might want to try harder there Pete.

And this is to say nothing of the ridiculousness of expecting someone to say nothing about an upcoming marriage. "Sorry, ma'am, your relationship is simply too controversial to be discussed in polite company."

Granted, firing seems a bit extreme to me if what the article says is true.

That said, I don't trust the source site for a second. Their goal is obviously to drum up fear. They want to suggest that allowing gay marriage will inevitably result in religious coercion, and they're desperate to create this impression any way they can. Maybe the engaged manager was out of line or deliberately provoking him, but so far we've only heard one side of the story, and it's obvious what the storyteller's motivations are.
