I guess my question is, was IKEA forcing their employees to go to an LGBT+ event or simply informing them of the event? Also, if the fired employee hadn’t posted a quote about violently murdering these people, would he have been fired?
FWIW, I wouldn’t take IKEA’s word for what the employee allegedly typed. I’d want to see the entirety of what the employee posted verbatim.
You mean quoting the Bible? The article seems to indicate that the employees were either forced or encouraged to support or attend the event.
Maybe you'd find more like-minded "thinkers" in Democratic Underground?
“The issue arose when employees were asked to attend a pro-LGBT event at the company.”
The employees were asked to attend (usually that means it is required or very strongly recommended by management that you attend). Would he have been fired for not attending?
I don’t see where he threatened anybody with violence. He quoted scripture that said the end result of unrepentant homosexual sex would be death and their blood would be on their hands (”their” in this context means the practitioners of said act). “Death” in the context of the scriptural quote means spiritual death, but that is neither here nor there because he didn’t state that he should be the one meting out the punishment or the end result, he was quoting scripture.
I think Ikea and a number of other people on the planet need some serious help with reading comprehension.
