EEOC Sues On Behalf of Employees Who Refuse To Wear Company Aprons That Contain Rainbow Emblem
Religion Clause ^ | 9/16/20 | Howard Friedman

Posted on 09/16/2020 8:49:15 PM PDT by marshmallow

The EEOC announced yesterday that it has filed suit against a Conway, Arkansas Kroger store charging that it violated Title VII when it disciplined and then discharged two women employees who refused to wear Kroger aprons that display a rainbow-colored heart emblem. The women believe that the apron endorses LGBTQ values and that wearing it violates their religious beliefs. Kroger refused the women's offers to wear other aprons or to cover the emblem.

They may as well have asked them to wear a rainbow colored swastika.

I liken those making these despicable demands to the enemies of Daniel who couldn't find fault against him, so they proposed a general law with the sole Gotcha! intent of destroying him specifically.

Daniel 6:5 Then said these men, We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel, except we find it against him concerning the law of his God.

Gawd, these companies have gone totally nuts!

Amazing how quickly the delusionals have taken control of them.

Genesis 9:13 - “I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.”

Wonder how God feels about LGBTQ-whatevers co-opting his copyright on the rainbow. And I wonder if they did it simply to desecrate it because it originally served as a reminder to humanity of His covenant. Doesn’t seem that far-fetched.

Depending on the size of the emblem, it could be covered with a pin, patch, or name tag.

The real issue would be how the employer would react to that.

Does anyone have a picture of this ‘rainbow’ heart?

Kroger is the party being sued; the store wanted the employees to wear the rainbow apron.

That is a very good question. God loves all of His creatures, including gay people, but the rainbow was a promise to all human beings. If I recall correctly.

Doesn’t the forced wearing of the rainbow aprons constitute a hostile work environment for those opposed to perversion?

“Hostile work environment” has been the mainstay of leftist argumentation in the workplace forever.

Thanks! (hey,I’m in TN too)

I haven’t seen them in my Kroger, but judging by the Smith’s apron it looks like it’s across the whole Kroger family. They’re colorful but wouldn’t make me think LGBTQ ‘rainbow’ at first sight. Wonder if they were presented as such to the employees.

Kroger? You should be sued. No rainbow colored anything in my logo! My nephew has a rainbow on his logo, but he lives in an area called Rainbow.

If the heart were red instead of blue it would make more sense.

From a distance, it does look like a gay symbol promoting the degenerate homosexual lifestyle.

Kroger should have fired the marketing team that approved it.
