Im guessing something in the Organizations contract does, but either way, he was fired for it, fair or not.
Why is his work place following his social media ???? Your private life is still your private life.
So why would someone post details of their “private life” and get upset when someone reads it and the consequences come back to bite them in the ass? If it’s private, common sense would indicate to not post it in a public venue. My employer has full view not only of my social media, but access to my credit data and my medical information. Now *that* is invasive, but part of the deal so I accept it.

I'm nitpicking, but I believe that was the point of yspobo's post. There's a difference between actively sinning and struggling with sin. We all struggle to one degree or another, some more than others, and everyone with different things.
Don't care. Religious groups are for people who buy into the philosophies and whatever else it entails. I wouldn't join any for my own reason so go find another sect, or something secular, to do with yourself.
It's about whether someone is repentant or not. If someone is actively sinning then the person isn't repentant.
I can't remember the exact words, but I do remember reading it was about someone who is currently, actively sinning, and who continues to do so. Meaning, they can't ask for salvation asking God or Jesus to save them if they continue to do the very same thing with no effort at all to stop the behavior or way of thinking, or whatever their issue is.
What people don't understand, even some who call themselves Christians, is that you can't actually call yourself a Christian unless you do live as clean a life as possible. Because if you don't, you are not actually "walking with God" as they say. You can find a whole lot of phony Christians in this country.
You can't just go to church, read your Bible, say "amen" a few times each Sunday, and then go home and do whatever "pleases the flesh" as it says and think you're "saved". It doesn't actually work that way.
Back to the religious people who denied this kid the job:
First of all, the article did state that the kid had actually been going to that church, he knew that church viewed homosexuality as a sin, he eventually came out to family, and then he put up a FB photo for his profile of him and his boyfriend. That is when the church found out he was gay.
This is no different than any other company seeing something on your social media that they don't accept, (and again, not agreeing with a lifestyle does not mean they hate the person, and it doesn't mean they are judging the person, it simply means they disagree with it), and removing you from your job. It's happened a LOT. This forum has had many threads about people posting stuff on social media and losing their jobs because of it...simple as a photo of them with a drink in their hand clearly tipsy or drunk. Company doesn't like it, company dismisses them. It's literally the same thing.
And as I always like to throw out there when it comes to some people bashing on Christians because they think that all Christians are on the right - my mom is quite religious. She's very much a Christian. She's also a Democrat. That image that some have of mid western old people being evil and judgemental as their idea of what a Christian is, is ridiculously off the mark. Don't forget, Christians come in all colors, too. It's not just "inbred white people" as some pretend that they are.
Anyone who has ever read my posts on the topic of gays, bi's, Lesbians or Transgender people know I am a staunch supporter of their rights to be who they are. I am also a supporter in the rights of people to choose who they associate with.
The young man is likely a good person and possibly a role model for many. That said, it is a Christian camp and there are absolutely no mysteries about their position on homosexuals of any kind. Closed minded. Yes. stupid? Hell yes. But it is their choice, or at least it should be.
There are people I stay away from.
Known drug users. I distance myself. I dont want what they got and I don't want their problems in my life.
Known criminals. Yeah we all want the local mob guy coming over for a beer.
Ill say it. I detest Russians and Chinese. Fly on a 15 hour flight with mainland Chinese and you won't be happy with them either. Russians. The ones I have met are loud, pushy and obnoxious. Some of the women are hot tho.
I have Transgender friends, I had them over for a party at my house on Thursday. Anniversary party. I chose to associate it wasn't forced. No one wants to be forced. Besides that other than wanting attention , who would willingly work where they know that they aren't wanted?
Sort of like those money grabbers picking on that bakery.
