A manager at a Massachusetts retail store claims he was unjustly fired after he told a colleague he thought her impending marriage to another woman was wrong.

With these facts, he has a slam-dunk case for hostile work environment, harrassment and termination based on his religious beliefs. These rules apply to private employment.

First of all, we do not know if the information presented in this article is indeed factual. Instead, it is simply one person's account of what occurred.

And the company is well within its right to terminate an employee due to his religious beliefs, if those beliefs cause him to denounce a co-worker's marriage.

For example, if there were an employee who held the religious belief that blacks and whites should not be married and that person denounced a co-worker who was in an interracial marriage, the company would be well within its right to fire that employee due to his voicing of his religious beliefs.

“Brookstone’s actions in allowing harrassment of an employee because of his religious beliefs and then terminating him violated Title VII of the federal civil rights laws.”

Nonsense.

Freedom of speech has ended in Obamaland!

It ended long ago in mAssachusetts.

A female manager from another store was in the store and began talking to Peter about her upcoming marriage. When Peter asked “where is he taking you for the honeymoon,” she corrected him and said she was not getting married to “he” but to another woman.

I think the real issue here is women who are about to get married talk about it constantly.

If “gay” rights laws didn’t ram homosexual agenda crap down everyone’s throats, the topic would never have come up.

Homosexuals used to be hidden and considered people with severe problems, both psychological and moral, and that is the truth and the way it should be again.

This woman was shoving the homosexual agenda down the guy’s throat.

It sure is a subject I don’t bring up.
