CONWAY, Ark. The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has filed suit against The Kroger Company for violating federal civil rights law in that an Arkansas location allegedly fired two employees who sought religious accommodations not to wear an apron with a rainbow heart on the bib, symbolizing homosexual and bisexual pride.
Although [Lawson and Rickerd] personally hold no animosity toward the individuals who comprise the LGBTQ community, the practices of that community violate [their] sincerely held religious belief, the lawsuit states, according to the Miami Herald. [Lawson and Rickerd] believed wearing the logo showed [their] advocacy of the community, which [they] could not do.
According to reports, Brenda Lawson, then age 72, asked if she could wear her name tag over the heart instead. Co-worker Trudy Rickerd, then 57, submitted a letter requesting the allowance to wear a different apron and advised that she was willing to pay for it herself.
Both were fired from the Conway grocery store in June 2019 for violations of the store dress code.
Kroger, which is reportedly the most financially successful grocery chain, has a page on its website outlining that the company proudly support[s] our LGBTQ+ friends and family.

Or the Army Rainbow division.

Having it made appears to have been enough to calm his hate for that man. He never put it on Phil's car.
I remember a time when all these people wanted was tolerance and understanding, and people became tolerant and accepting even if the act grosses them out.
30 years later they are the intolerant ones and also demand obedience
My apartment house, like many other hotels and apartments, is about 50% staffed with gay employees.
I am used to that, and I barely notice it.
A few weeks ago, the manager put a Rainbow Coalition decal on the window next to the front door.
As far as I am concerned, that is a political endorsement.
I am debating about asking the manager to also put up a MAGA decal.
If he refuses, I will then ask him to take down the Rainbow decal.
All the gay movement wanted when they came out of their closet was not to be discriminate against. Now they want to be able to indoctrinate all kids of their perverse life style and have businesses cater to their demands like this.
I make a point of contacting various scumbag companies to offer my opinion...
Who wants to be.reminded of fecal sex while shopping for food?
It’s becoming a simple choice now for our society: fight back for Constitutionally recognized basic human rights, or go quietly to the slaughter.
They are union shop in Ohio and Michigan. In Right to Work states I think probably not.
I bought a T-shirt at the Ark Encounter. It reads Take Back the Rainbow
God’s rainbow has 7 colors. Satan’s rainbow has six.
These two are obviously triggered by rainbows. I wonder how they feel about Gods promise to Noah /s
“or go quietly to the slaughter.”
