If he worked for me, I’d fire him. When you ask to have a letter to the editor printed with your employer’s name, you are effectively stating that your opinion reflects your employer’s opinion. I can’t think of any respectable business establishment that would allow their employees to do that sort of thing.

No one would fire him if he signed with his employer’s name and criticized Christian “bigots” who dislike homosexual acts.

Maybe for people who want to read that into it. He never mentions his employer in the letter. He only asked to have his job title included under his name.

So you think his first amendment rights are only part time? I suppose you would fire him for wearing a praise Jesus shirt, and trip over yourself giving muslims prayer time.

Only if you are of the delusional, pro-sodomy persuasion

That is an irrational stretch.
If I send a letter to the editor, giving my position and place of work expressing concern about a safety issue as an engineer, no one should ever assume that I was speaking for anyone else, unless I explicitly so claim.
Your inclination to act the victim, and your delusion as universal arbiter notwithstanding..
