Or your fencepost, or your prize sheep, or your mailbox.

Who gave you the authority to decide that? People have had non consensual marriages for centuries.

Generally Islam is not influencing US law. The same can not be said for Christianity.

Now Islam is in full control of other countries' laws, that's for sure, but that really isn't of any concern to me right now.

I don't protest or anything against Christianity by the way. I'm just telling why those who do protest don't usually protest against Islam.

Good way to convince self. The human mind is amazing.

Boy, talk about hitting the nail on the head.

Not my theory. There have been studies on the connection between homophobia and males who exhibit latent homosexuality in recent years but Sigmund Freud was the first to propose the idea.

You are correct. And companies have the right to fire a CEO who becomes a public embarrassment. If you are a CEO, you can't act like an a$$hole in public. The board of directors and stockholders don't like that.

Did he advertise that he was the CFO of this company in the first place? How did everyone know to pinpoint him out?

Where does the first amendment say you can be an a$$hole and employers cannot fire you?

Yes, he has the freedom to say what he wanted and to harass an employee of another company. And his employer has the freedom to fire him for being an A$$hole.

You have it backwards, and I won't settle for less than equality under the law.
