What's fishy is people being forced by their employer to sign a piece of paper saying they acknowledge the gay lifestyle as natural and normal under the guise of "diversity training" or be fired.
Which means you have to deny your personal and or religious beliefs. That's not discrimination, bigotry, homophobia it's truth.
So again I say corrupt change always starts with a lie.

Do you believe people should be able to be fired for simply being gay?

^I'm wondering what the gay talk has to do with Obama coming to Texas now? Going off topic.

I cannot believe an employer could get away with trying to force someone to do a thing like this. I know it's getting to where practically anything goes these days, but I say this would never hold up in court and that's exactly where it should be taken. Any employer with balls enough to try and pull something like this off needs to be exposed and heavily fined.

After all, this is still America, and even though she's getting battered right now, we still have certain freedoms and rights.

Great post--tried to rep you, but you know the drill....

No. But what does that have to do with this: What's fishy is people being forced by their employer to sign a piece of paper saying they acknowledge the gay lifestyle as natural and normal under the guise of "diversity training" or be fired.

It's not that I don't care it's that it shouldn't be my issue. That's your issue and you deal with it and leave me alone. Why should your decision jeopardize my job?

The government didn't have to pass sodomy laws, and actively ban gay marriage. The forces against gay rights are the ones telling people how to live their lives not us.

Seems like your [sic] the one going ga ga overing [sic] it.... Wasn't a big deal to me.
He is a hero to those who are struggling to come out of the closit [sic]

Of course as a gay person you thought he was a hero. He's just another athlete full of himself. The fact that Obama called him to congratulate him for coming out of the closet--and it was made public--is disgusting.

But it's part of BO's agenda, so we shouldn't be surprised.
