Another case of Libs trying to silence anyone who disagrees with them.
In addition to bullying those who will never agree with them into unconditional 100% compliance. They are enraged that they can not, and will not, always get their way.

Nope she didn't give a anti Homo speech she signed a petition. Simple really.
Yeah - simple really. She made her anti-gay sentiments know to her private employer (ya know, speech), and they considered punishing her for it. Doesn't seem much different than the countless times people have made their pro-gay sentiments known to their private employers (very often Christian Universities or schools), and those employers actually punished (fire) that employee for not having values consistent with the institution.
I find it funny that conservatives condemn the former yet laud the latter.
She didn't sign a petition against same-sex marriage. She signed a petition getting the issue of same-sex marriage on the ballot in November. It was not pro- or against same-sex marriage.
Skip to about 10 minutes into the video to hear from her directly.

Only there is no evidence of "liberals becoming thought police regulating the beliefs people in positions of influence may have."
Someone filed a complaint. The boss responded by giving the person complained about a few paid days off while investigating. The boss determined, after investigating, that the university's chief diversity officer has not compromised her professional responsibilities by signing the petition, and has publicly declared his support for her.
And by the way, even Ms McCaskill doesn't say that she was standing for traditional Christianity. She says she was standing for the democratic process. You know, affirming the people's right to vote on laws referencing social policies and mores.
Diversity.....hmm, I wonder what her job responsibilities could have entailed? Promoting tolerance of people that are gay, maybe? Would someone who was biased against gay people be able to promote diversity and tolerance on campus? Would that person's employer have an obligation to investigate if the person responsible for promoting diversity and tolerance were a bigot? And if that person's employer determined that the answer was no, where would the injustice be in this case?
No.
But she has worked closely with the LGBTQ community on campus as an ally.
She is either an amazing actor or she's not anti-gay. Most likely the latter.

. Signing an anti-gay petition -- especially if you publicize it like she apparently did -- is anti-gay speech.
