[fordtrucks]

I guess the Gay community does not believe in free speech.

I'm sorry but she's just weird. It honestly seemed like she was drunk.

And her right to free speech was infringed upon. The first amendment applies to state actors aka the government. The private company that fired her isn't bound to that.

Maybe Jan Brady can take her place and finally have her spot in the limelight.

uhmmm...I think you mean to say her right to free speech wasn't infringed upon. Not "was".

Another gay thread. Recently you posted one on something related to a gay person on HGTV.

What is it you really want to tell us?

A person is fired for a comment they made while working - not a free speech issue
A person is jailed/fined/etc for a comment they made - a free speech issue


Also, it was the company that made the decision and not the "Gay community"

But a quarterback is defended for exercising his free speech while at work?

Defended and attacked, but what happens with him is up to his employer, no one else.

He's got a better union.

When your union is no good, then you might not wanna go blabbing off at your job.

I know...hard concept for you conservatives to understand.

The gay community has nothing to do with it. Her employer fired her.

The issue of free speech is not just about direct control of speech by the government.

Also, it was the company that made the decision...

... under pressure from the gay community.
