Every once in a while, a comment slips through the hands of the moderators at One"News"Now that's just too good to be true! Today was one of those days! Remember how conservative Christians forever whine about how being gay (oops, make that homosexual, as they so lovingly like to call it) is just a lifestyle choice, and therefor doesn't need any federal protection? In other words, according to them an employer can fire an employee at any time, just for being gay. It is, after all, just a lifestyle choice, right?
Well, tonight they ran an 'article' about a guy who got fired at Home Depot for refusing to take down his 'In God We Trust' button while at work (mind you, Home Depot enforces a strict dress code, so firing this guy was a perfectly logical thing to do).
So, what did one of their readers post as a comment:
Wow. Thankfully we have civil rights laws on the books so that Mr. Keezer can sue Home Depot for terminating him illegally. I'm wholly on Mr. Keezer's side on this. His choice to be, and behave as, a Christian is a fundamental part of his identity, and it's wrong to discrimate against him because he has made that lifestyle choice. Hmmmm... sounds like I could apply that line of reasoning to something else, but I can't think of what right now. I'm sure it will come to me.
Fantastic! I love this person! There may be not a lot of people on One"News"Now who actually have the abillity to think for themselves, but this person is definitely one of them!
