I have never understood why holding employees accountable for their behavior is such a horrible thing. If someone smokes constantly, or is an alcoholic, or is covered with tattoos, or as a man wears dresses to work - I as an employer have a right to make a judgment on how my business is represented. Would a Christian bookstore owner now be required to hire a flamboyant homosexual because it's PC? This seems like insanity.

An employer ought to be allowed for hiring those whom are deemed good employees.
Sexual orientation shouldn’t be protected, so firing someone based on that should be perfectly legal.

And therein lies the problem with all this “gay” legislation. Whether or not this person was fired for that reason, he can claim it, and if he has Obama voting judge and jury, he’s screwed.
I eagerly await the time when the 1st state “just says no” to our congress and senate. What’ll our congress-zoo do? Withhold dollars worth about one penny (after a couple of years of Obamaloon rule)?

LOL, I thought the same thing. I wonder what attracts them to the position.
To: ßuddaßudd
It almost is as shocking as a homeosexual social worker or light in the loafers nurse.

Sexual orientation is NOT a legally protected factor in the state of Tennessee.

Sexual orientation is not a protected class. So what. This guy will end up being the poster boy for all those alphabet soup gay groups.

What about the millions of men who have been fired for not being “gay?”

He calls in “an orientation”? This is the activist chilling generalization crap. Bestiality is also an orientation, and so is self mutilations and other sick insanities. This is not fit at all for a hotel service business.

I was under the impression that being gay was a requirement to get a job at a hotel.

Especialy in the hospitality business...
Imagine a sick freak with the key to every rooms of “evey orientations”...
Thanks but no thanks. I don’t want Jeffrey Dhammer to be my hotel clerk indeed.

"I did not," said Stoddard. "It is in our employee handbook that no one should be discriminated against, harassed verbally, physically or any other means for their sexuality, their sexual orientation, gender, race or anything of that sort." Pretty stupid to put that in your handbook, eh?`

a “little light in the loafers” and “women who wear comfortable shoes” were two expressions used by my parents when discssing their more adventurous peers.
