(I also detest the term spelling nazi.)

Her actions resulted in his character and authority being questioned. He retaliated against her. The issue of him being against homosexuals and not wanting them around him or his family may be a side issue. If it is, then he's just an overall crap person to be a Mayor.
Might be a side issue, this is the issue. He didn't even have authority to fire here from what I have read, couple that with his statements and I see a rather large lawsuit in the very near future for Latta, SC. It would be best to restore her position but doubtful.

No one is defending him, but you can't turn statements around, para phrase or take things out of context and expect people to take you seriously.

Even the heading on the article was false.

This will take time to play out.

I don't support him but, he's the mayor of a town with a population of 1,357.....Mayberry probably had more people than that....you had to do some digging to find that conservative homophobe.

Now to find a liberal one all you had to do is watch MSNBC.

Evidently it will not be for being gay as 29 states can still fire for that offense. A 23 year veteran handed 7 reprimands in one day and fired for not signing them, I will go with the defense for wrongful termination.

Seems like the most bigoted bigots are the whiners that always accuse someone with a different opinion of being an idiot or a bigot. Bunch of crybabies.
