They should be fired. I wonder though, bakeries/photographers have lost in court when arguing their religious beliefs prohibit them from servicing gays, but in this instance it isn't the cab company but individuals who are declining to serve gays. So.. Can the company be held liable in court? Or maybe to reduce liability the company instead cans the drivers, only to be sued by them for religious discrimination? I'd be very interested to see it tested in court. It definitely puts the cab companies in a bad spot no matter what they do.
It's a matter of individuals refusing to do their jobs, not the companies fault. I think the companies do have a responsibility to fire the individuals involved. However, I'm not sure they won'd have to make "reasonable accommodations" for these employees. Businesses now sometimes have to so so-giving employees "Sabbath" off from work for example. It's not right, but the law is weird.
Intolerant Muslim nutjobs and intolerant RWNJs = same-same.
They should be best buds.
You know and I know that those cabbies are statistically FAAARRR more likely to be Democrats..and have a love for Obama. Additionally, they share the same political party with the gays who they refused to take. Your ideology is similiar to theirs' in that you belong to the same political party. You are all screwed up you don't even know what you believe. Most conservatives I know value hard work and for one, would never turn down a paying customer as long as that customer wasn't disrespectful. You choose to not deal in reality, so lets blame the right.
Would tightie-righties support Christian cab drivers (working for a cab co.) who refused to drive with a gay games sign on their roof?

These folks are entitled to their beliefs. If they choose not to work, they should be afforded that option. For whatever reason(s) that they may lose their jobs, they will have to deal with that later.
I'm not opposed to anyone's rights...I'm just not big on "special" rights. And I'm not siding with anyone on this, but it will be fun watching you libs twist and turn on this one. Have fun...
Since you classify equal rights as special rights, you are only proving his point.
