<< What if he talked about it all the time, then when he became good friends with the person, he;the person might decide to start poking around...(no pun intended. 😀) >>



A: I don't think that any normal people, outside of Hollywood, wants to try being gay if they aren't

B: If he talked about it all the time, he doesn't belong in the job. Just like if a heterosexual teacher is always discussing hetero-sex.

C: The scoutmaster in the Supreme Court case wasn't teaching the boys the proper usage of Crisco or anything.

D: &quot;poking around&quot; LOL!

 
What a bunch of crybabies. &quot;I want a job and you have to give it to me because I'm gaaa-aaay...&quot;

I don't walk into a job interview and say, &quot;Now I just want you to know that I'm straight.&quot; Why should it be any different if I were not? When I sign on to work at a company there is a clause that says that the company can terminate me at any time with or without reason. It's in there and I signed it. Why can't that be good enough for everyone? It is a legally binding contract, but I guess it's not legally binding if you're gay, black, Hindu, or a woman, etc.

I try to be fair to everyone. I said fair, not PC. I've been turned down and I'll be turned down again. I'm not about to pitch a hissy over it. If this kind of discrimination is going on in a company why would someone want to work where they are not wanted? That doesn't help anyone. I certainly wouldn't want to work somewhere where my employer was forced to keep me on. Forget that. I have some pride left. I guess that is something of which little remains to go around nowadays.
 
Comparing sexual orientation to race is a stinking crock of you know what. Being black, white, etc. is not a behavior, nor is it a choice. Homosexual activity is a behavioral choice that I do not have to approve of by a true Constitutional right. If such behavior is not appropriate for my organization I'm not going to hire them - period. How could you possibly legitimately believe it would be appropriate for an organization to be forced to hire someone in direct conflict with their core doctrine?
 
When are people going to realize that they cannot push their idea of &quot;appropriate behavior on other people&quot;... furthermore what right do they have to dictate private sexual behavior. How dare you people get on your religious high horse and claim the sins of homosexuality. Show me some proof of GOD... show me proof that the bible isn't a crock of sh!t. You people need to look beyond your sphere of beliefs and understand that not everyone believes what you do...

Ok one response at a time...

<< If you think i am going to hire a certan &quot;group&quot; of people because you say so, and that I had better, or I'll &quot;get in trouble&quot;, then please go up and re-read what I said above...in other words, go to hell, please. Thankyouvellymuch. >>



😀 <---- this is me laughing in your face, because you're a bigotted moron, and the minority. If you think you can get away with discriminating against people for something going on in their private life with no effect on the job whatsoever, then you're even dumber than I thought. I'll leave it at that... you can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink. But I will say that I think your bigotry makes you scum.

<< who would know? Who would care? >>


First of all.... god bless AMD...
Now that thats out of the way... The problem is... what if the boss goes out with his wife one night, and catches his employee kissing another man?... Then he fires him...

Take your own advice

&quot;You people need to look beyond your sphere of beliefs and understand that not everyone believes what you do... &quot;

You can't condemn people for defining correct behavior out of one side of your mouth and define correct behavior out the other side. Typical hypocritical doublespeak, &quot;No one is absolutely right and I accept and tolerate everyone, that is until you disagree with me.&quot;
 
Capn--

I bet you think you're really clever huh? Trying to turn the tables on Doboji. See, the essential difference between his agenda and yours is simply that he believes that it's a basic human right to live your life the way you feel like living it without discrimination, interference, or persecution, as long as you're not harming anyone else. This &quot;civility&quot; transcends individiual religious and moral beliefs--it's humanity 101.

Doboji is not trying to push his standard of morality on anyone. All he's saying that since gay people as a group (and I'm betting even as individuals) have done no harm to you, you must respect them for what they are--human beings--despite what your religion may say about them (actually pretty much all Christianity says about the subject is that it is a sin to lay down with another man as you would lay down with your wife. Well... got news for ya pal, there are a million other sins and you've probably commited a bunch [who among us haven't?]). It's one thing to hold the belief or idea that you think homosexual sex is a sin. It's quite another to let that affect how you treat the person. EVERYONE sins, including yourself. I think that, more than anything else is the hyprocrisy here.

If a corporation, be it non-profit or faith-based, is taking Federal Dollars, then they should have to follow Federal Rules and Regulations concerning how they run the business?including hiring practices. This is a free country! If they do NOT want to hire certain types of people, they can stop accepting government handouts!!! People complain about the gays wanting to force their ?morality? on us?having the SA say they want to discriminate is the same thing, and they want to use MY money to do it!


<< No one has the right to dictate to me what i should teach my children in regards to morality as long as i am not teaching them to hate. So stop with that damn homophobe bullsh!t it doesn't apply. >>



If you are telling them that homosexuality is a sin, or that it is ?bad,? then you are teaching them stereotyping and a form of racism. Racist thoughts can lead to hate.

Homosexuals are not ?taught? to be that way; if you think different, just speak to Phylis Schafley or Newt Gingrich about ?teaching? homosexuality as it pertains to their blood relatives. If the influence of a Christian Conservative Republican upbringing is not enough to defeat the subversive teaching of homosexuality, then the upbringing is rather weak. YOU are the most influential person in your child?s life. Unless you abrogate that authority to the schools, any ?morals? they pick up there will be secondary to your influence.




<< An openly gay man who talks mega effemite applies for a job.

You personally have nothing against this guy, however you know for a FACT that there's a lot of people in this town who don't like gay's and hiring this guy will cost you business, take food off your family's table, and possibly put you out of business.

Do you hire him, or do you say: &quot;I'm sorry, the position is no longer available.&quot;

Gay people have to buy hardware too, you know. And they spend, per capita, more on ?adult? implements (i.e., stuff you find in hardware stores) than people with kids. Their average income is higher. And they are spread fairly evenly throughout the population. In other words, this ?mega effeminate? guy may drive away some persons, but he might actually increase your business by having the closeted gays in the county preferring to come there.




<< Wrong again. We do not &quot;hate&quot; gays because we think they are inferior, or dangerous. I, personally, do not like them because I think it is severly wrong, AND it IS a bad influence IMO, AND they usually ARE messed up!

And

Homosexual activity is a behavioral choice that I do not have to approve of by a true Constitutional right. If such behavior is not appropriate for my organization I'm not going to hire them - period. How could you possibly legitimately believe it would be appropriate for an organization to be forced to hire someone in direct conflict with their core doctrine?

You are certainly free to hold whatever stupid opinions you want; just do not try to impose them on others by making such opinions part of your hiring practices. And if you are part of the KKK, for example, you can keep out anyone you want. Just don?t go asking the Federal Government to subsidize your bigotry. If you try, be prepared to have me shove MY morality in your face.
