I love this quote by a reader in the article:

I've never met a gay person who spent time thinking about what straight people do in bed. What's up with that?

That's because gay people know how straight people do it. Straight people don't know how gay people do it until they have it explained to them.

There is no religious component to this case. The employee violated company policy.

"After the investigation...Walmart dismissed Matthews for violating the chain's non-discrimination policy. Matthews, an Apostolic Christian, responded by filing suit against the company, claiming that her religious beliefs...were violated in her firing"


Walmart Firing Of Anti-Gay Employee Justified, Appeals Court Rules


The court upheld the firing. It's truly disgusting how Christians are discriminated against in this country - especially when they're spreading the Word and trying to save sinners from eternal damnation.
Employers DO NOT pay employees to "spread the word" or to "save sinners from eternal damnation". Employers pay people to work and make money for the company.

Screaming at co-workers is inappropriate. If the woman wants to "save people" then she should become a minister and preach in a church.

Please get a sense of proportion. There is a time and a place for everything.

Um, gay people do it the same way straight people do it...
