The corporation may be wrong to promote acceptance of homosexuality, but they have the right to be wrong. What if it's against the law to discriminate against someone on the basis of their honestly held religious belief (for instance, that homosexual acts are morally wrong)?

A corporation has the right to be wrong. They don't have a right to break the law. But here, the corporation will state that the reason this guy got fired was for unauthorized use of the company's E-mail system, and they have a right to do just that.
They can also claim that having a certain set of religious views is one thing, but using the E-mail system to promulgate them is entirely another thing, and again is against company policy.
You may think such statements are a screen for another agenda on the company's part. You may be right, but it's immaterial.

What if it's against the law to discriminate against someone on the basis of their honestly held religious belief (for instance, that homosexual acts are morally wrong)? Then that's a bad law. No one has a "right" to a job. We all believe that a worker should be allowed to leave a company anytime he wants, for whatever reason he wants. So why should an employer be forced to hold on to a worker he wants to get rid of, even if we think the employer's reason for doing so is stupid?
