Guess which topic posted on the Washington Post’s “Morning Mix” blog got 2,000 responses within 20 hours?
Yep, it was about a government official who balked at having to watch an “LGBT diversity and inclusivity training” video at his workplace, who’s planning on losing his job over it and who has asked his fellow Christians to join him.
Anyone who’s applied for any job recently –- particularly in academia – finds oneself having to check certain boxes. I’ve also had to include a statement pledging my troth to diversity, plus give examples the Muslim family I helped sponsor back in the 1990s and the Native American students I encountered or taught at the University of Alaska. However, one gets the feeling that this is not the button that they're asking you to push.
Anyway, one guy in Illinois decided he’d had enough. Here’s how the News-Gazette, the local paper, played it:
CHAMPAIGN – A Social Security Administration employee who believes he shouldn't have to watch a workplace diversity video about the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community, because it violates his religious beliefs, fears he may lose his job because of it.
David Hall, 42, of Tolono has worked for the federal agency for 14 years, based in the Champaign office as an area systems coordinator, an information technology position. In late April, Hall said, employees nationwide received an email from the agency about a 17-minute LGBT diversity and inclusion training video that they were told to watch at their work stations. Employees were required to certify that they had seen the video.
Hall said he is a Christian – "not anti-anyone or anything," but "for God, for Jesus" – and believes the Bible teaches that homosexuality is a sin.
So, he didn't watch it.
A quick question: Was he.............

Let them force Muslims to attend. The world would be better off with some beheaded Homo-fascist warriors.
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. And if you don’t bow down to the LGBT Gaystapo we will burn you at the stake”
Death to the homogenda!
Geez, are they ever behind the times.
It's LGBTQ.
The Q = "Questioning."
Faggots are sick perverts that can get help with shock treatments. It is proven.
It’s proven that you’re the wackiest freeper in history.

I’m Celerity, and I endorse this message.
Never, EVER do something that your employer wants you to do, but you don’t want to do. I don’t care if it’s tuck in your shirt. You’re a human being. Don’t let people get away with treating you like a possession.
Can the government as an employer force Muslim employees to watch a training video on homosexual rights? Or will some high official quietly give them a pass?
We get a survey from the State Bar of Texas every year, and one of the questions is whether we are an “LGBT friendly” law firm. I just answer that we treat all client and potential clients equally. Pisses me off.
I'm so glad I retired before I was forced to sit through a 17-minute LGBTQXYZ 'inclusion & diversity' video on the joys of homosexuality.
I’m so grateful to have had the opportunity to work for a small (Christian) family-owned business. It would NEVER implement such mindless, inane policies.
