Peter Vidala was fired for telling his coworker her homosexual marriage was wrong. He spoke up because he's a Christian, saying, "I see, like all real Christians, homosexuals as people who, like me, are sinners and need to be told the truth in a loving way."
He clearly identifies himself with his Christianity--it's who he is.
As you might recall, I posted this quote a while ago:
"When someone is attacked for being who they are, and for being proud of who they are, there is no other explanation for that attack than hatred and bigotry," said New York City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, the first openly gay speaker of the city council.
He was clearly fired for being who he is, and being unashamed (proud?) of who he is. Thus, the only reasonable explanation is that he's a victim of hatred and bigotry. Hey, not my words. I'm just applying things equally.
"Yeah, but he didn't have to say anything to his coworker. He should have just kept his mouth shut. Christians should keep their religion private."
--Oh really? Well what if I said this?
Homosexuals shouldn't flaunt their sexuality. They should keep their mouths shut. They should keep their homosexuality secret.
Blatant double standards, anyone? They're giving out free extra-portions! Get your pink slips while they're hot!
Well said. Je suis d'accord.
