This:
"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."
Doesn't jibe with this:
"An outside homosexual group complained to Allstate about the column."
If he was unidentified, how did the homos connect him to his company?
Maybe he gave his name, but not his occupation. If this is the case then the homo's are getting incredibly aggressive in squelching dissenting opinion. Scary!!
This story has been posted several times already. It turns out one site that posted the column, MensNewsDaily.com, added to the bio line on the article the fact that Barber worked for Allstate. He didn't put the line himself, nor did he consent for it to be added.
It's buried in the article, but apparently his bio accompanying the article identified him as an Allstate employee.
He did not get fired for his Christian views. He got fired for associating his company with his personal views (views that the company neither holds nor supports).
This is about the 4th article about this incident on FR. I'll see if I can post a couple of links to the other articles. The man who was fired wrote an article, the website that posted it added that he was an employee of Allstate without his knowledge.
The man does not deserve to be fired. Allstate is crap.
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.
