Allstate has fired a manager because he expressed his Christian beliefs concerning homosexuality. Matt Barber was a manager in Allstate's Corporate Security Division. On his own time, and without identifying himself as an employee of Allstate, he wrote a column posted on several websites which was critical of same-sex marriage.
An outside homosexual group complained to Allstate about the column. Because of their support for the homosexual agenda, Barber was immediately fired and ushered off company property.
The message is clear: To work for Allstate one must not publicly express their Christian belief in the Bible's teaching on homosexuality. Barber was fired because he did. Homosexuals can criticize and condemn the Bible's teaching and they are welcomed, but Christians must remain silent.
TAKE ACTION
Allstate has sent a message to all their agents: If you are a Christian and believe the Bible's teaching on homosexuality, you will be fired. While Allstate touts its diversity, that diversity does not include Christian beliefs on homosexuality.
First, send Allstate Chairman Edward M. Liddy an email to register your complaint demanding both a public apology and reinstatement for Mr. Barber with back pay. Then call your local Allstate agent and tell him or her you will not be purchasing any insurance from them.
You can find a listing of Allstate agents in your area by clicking here . Tell the Allstate agent you will tell your friends about their disdain for Christians who believe the Bible's teaching on homosexuality.
Email Allstate Chairman Liddy Now!
Sincerely,

Simple. Either all employees can say what they want on their free time, and their employer can do nothing about it, or your employer has the right to fire you for saying things he doesn't like.
Any middle position just means that certain opinions, based on political correctness, get protected while other, less politically correct opinions, do not.
I have all my vehicles and home on their plus our family summer place which being on a mountaintop has beacoup premiums.
We're going to Farm Bureau.
I just bought a Dually today....they will only have that long enough for us to move.
Damn shame...the local agent is very nice.
(I am now officially a redneck)
the world is not either/or
it's about forming opinions and values
not just Objective parameters
Another case that points out who has "rights" and the right to rub it in your face and who has no rights--except the right to remain silent (and pity them if they don't stay silent!). If Christianity must be kept in the closet, why can't homosexuality be put back in their closets?
What? No "Don-Wildmon-is-a-nutjob-extremist-religious-right-fringer" posts yet?
Or any "AFA/WND-are-untrustworthy-sources" claims?
Shocking, I tell ya.
What "is" a Dually?
I am not a redneck yet...lol.

OMGoodness... it's a truck! LOL!
I just found an old license plate holder I used to have on my VW Cabriolet: (I was such a smart ass).
It reads on the top "AS A MATTER OF FACT"
and on the bottomm, "I DO OWN THE ROAD"
LOL
Did you have the flowers holder on the dash?
FOTFLOL! No,no flowers, but I think I get your meaning...lol.
OMG -- that is terribly PC. It's puke worthy.
"at will" does not authorize discrimination
Only a liberal could equate advocating murder to expressing a NON-VIOLENT opinion. You sure you are on the right board?
I lft Allstate many yars ago over the way they treated my brother over a lousy $900.

P.S. It has cost them MANY times that amout over the past 18 years.
Someone who knew him who was homosexual. If he's an agent, many people will know him. If he's not an agent, he can still be know -- even if only by homosexuals within his company.
