This is the second time I've seen this posted. This time I read it more carefully. The mistake this man made was to hit the "Reply to All" button, instead of the "Reply" button when he wrote the e-mail in the first place. I have seen people in my company disciplined for sending out completely non-controversial information in mass mailings without prior authorization, so the fact that this person was disciplined for sending out a controversial personal opinion is not surprising.

And yes, I realize that the HR mass mailing was controversial, but that's life in the big company. If you don't like company policies, you can quit. Your free speech rights stop at the company door. The corporation may be wrong to promote acceptance of homosexuality, but they have the right to be wrong.

Yep. And decent-minded Americans have the right not to buy Kodak film.

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)?

I agree that the employee was wrong in hitting the 'reply all' button. However I agree with his response and have had it with companies' draconian 'though shalt bend over' diversity messages.

I stopped buying anything Kodak or Ofoto last week. And I feel better already.

The corporation may be wrong to promote acceptance of homosexuality, but they have the right to be wrong. And they have the right to defend themselves in court if they try to impress contraversial views on their employees and otherwise show their disrepect to their employees.
