I consider firing someone for their religious beliefs, persecution. In this country, we usually don't kill someone for anything other than murder. However, we are starting to deny people jobs, if they take a stand on certain moral issues. At this time, those issues are usually abortion or homosexuality.
If a job requires actions prohibited by someone's religion, then what else would you suggest, besides not filling that job with someone of that sect?
I'm pro-life but not a Christian. Gay issues I don't really care about, they don't bother me.
Why would you want to work in an environment like that anyway? Why would I go to work for a gay newspaper and then complain that they won't hire me because I won't do my job because I don't like gays?

Since homosexuals have been routinely denied employment for their "stand on certain moral issues", I assume you acknowledge that the Homos are being persecuted?
