“In our great country, Americans can’t even be forced to salute the American flag as a condition of government employment. Yet, in this case, the L.A. County Fire Department seeks to force Captain Little to personally raise the Progress Pride Flag in violation of his sincere and deeply held religious beliefs—or face termination. The L.A. County Fire Department’s actions are not only deeply un-American, but also flagrantly illegal.”

One month for this pride thing and one day for our military.

I'm kinda sick of seeing all these lawsuits that come down to "sincerely held religious beliefs." I fully respect them, mind you, but someone who isn't religious shouldn't have to be forced to worship and bow down tolerate perverse and immoral things that make them sick.
