It's a property rights issue. Costco can fire him for any reason, or for no reason, unless the case falls within a specific prohibition in his employment contract.

Costco has a right to terminate an employee. I also have a right not to shop at Costco because of the company's pro-homosexual attitude.

"It's a property rights issue. Costco can fire him for any reason, or for no reason, unless the case falls within a specific prohibition in his employment contract."
Provided that that's what the law says in that jurisdiction, that is correct. But here's another property rights issue for you: I've got the right to spend my money (which is my property) in whatever establishment I so choose, and can make my decision based on whether the establishment fires people for abiding with their religious beliefs.
