Question regarding 'special' groups at the workplace.
Posted on 09/03/2008 4:58:09 PM PDT by maineman
Thank you in advance. The company I work for allows gay/lesbians to gather and hold meetings re: workplace treatment, etc. This is PAID time at the company site. So they are allowed 2 hour blocks of time, paid..to NOT work while others (non-gay) must work. Is this legal? Any feedback will be very appreciated.

The corporate charter is a powerful tool.
This is a good example of how just being a “Corporation” does not make an institution conservative, or good.
What if the inmates took over the asylum? What if more and more corporations were run by criminals, or folks who effectively outlawed being good?
It does not bode well for individuals who live by a moral code of ethics.
Surely there must be an alternative other than being silent or unemployed.
We must find a way to restore the right of the conservative individual to speak out in the workplace. If we do not, the collectivists will win by our attrition.

This means that someone high on the food chain is a homosexual or lesbian.You've got that right.

>>You’ve got that right.
I think it will become more and more common.
The majority of homosexual activists have no children to encumber them on their climb up the corporate ladder; and they are ruthless and highly motivated.
I dread the thought of what will happen to the Republic once they control the workplace and can deprive conservatives of their livelihoods.
I just don’t see how the founders would ever have supported the silencing of the individual via private property rights, assigned to an “artificial person” that was constructed via a corporate charter.

Inherent in the right of free association is the freedom to exclude people from the group. What you are posing is the power in the state to preclude the ability of its citizens to decide who can, or cannot, participate in a mutually agreeable contractual relationship.
IOW, while you are correct about the nature of the problem, your choice of means to address it is yet more problematic. It is the special advantages corporate relationships enjoy that make their competition with individuals an uneven playing field. Natural law competition was meant to regulate competing collective entities (the states) in setting the limits of that advantage. It is that playing field the 14th eliminated.

That's what I'm trying to get at.
How can these special advantages be neutralized and the playing field returned to balance?

I have some thoughts on that, but not right now.
I've got another book to get out, and on a very tight schedule.

The 14th is being abused by these activist to seize the power of expression for themselves; while at the same time removing it from their opponents in the guise of "hate speech". Just look at Canada for an example.
The scene before us is eerily reminiscent of the events in Germany which culminated in the Nazi regime - which was infested with sexual perversion.
The intent of censorship, exhibited via Colorado SB200, points down a road that will lead to book burning and the elimination of free expression. It's already taking place on the Internet as some corporations are banning "hate speech" from their forums; where it's ok call the Boy Scouts
the Hitler Youth - but not to point out the
homosexual leadership of the real Hitler Youth.
That is not acceptable.
What the State giveth, the State can take away. When Corporate Charters are being utilized in a way that becomes antithetical to the Founder's declared purpose for the Government - which is TO SECURE THESE RIGHTS for ALL, then steps need to be taken correct that.
Freedom to speak the TRUTH must be restored.
