re: "So you're saying that if I own a business and I discover that an employee of mine has CHOSEN to change his religion to one which I object to that I'm allowed to fire him or her, correct?"

Incorrect. You just made up a bunch of garbage and attributed it to me. Believe me, if any of that is what I'd intended to post, I would have done so.

It is not illegal to discriminate. Period. When you said that it was, you were wrong. If you think otherwise, please provide us with a link. (And you won't because you can't.)

I'm free to discriminate against anyone I like, and so are you, EXCEPT IN SPECIFIC INSTANCES.

Now, I put that in bold this time for a reason, OCU. I trust you will remember it the next time you wonder whether whatever you think I mean is what I actually mean.

So you're saying that if I own a business and I discover that an employee of mine has CHOSEN to change his religion to one which I object to that I'm allowed to fire him or her, correct? After all, that's what the Congressman was suggesting, that employers SHOULD be allowed to fire someone solely based on the notion that he CHOSE to be gay. How is that a legitimate basis for terminating someone if that was all there was to it (I saw no other argument made by Rep Lankford to support his reasoning)? His entire argument appears to be based on the idea that someone CHOSE to do something that I objected to so therefore I'm allowed to act against that person based on MY personal beliefs being in conflict with his, is that what you're saying?

I'm sorry, but YOU'RE the one posting nonsense. How is it NOT discrimination to fire someone based ONLY on their CHOICE of religious beliefs? That's the argument that Rep Lankford was making, that a person's CHOICE was ALL the reason he needed to say that that person could be fired, PERIOD!
