This is a huge win for reason, logic and intelligence... HUGE WIN! --- A Fire Chief from a major metropolitan city is terminated for religious inspired and religious condoned bigoted and hateful gay bashing. --- The days of ignorance, fear, bigotry and hate hiding behind religions are rapidly coming to a close. The following two paragraphs from the included article are beautiful, I could not have said any of it better myself. . ---Mr. Cochran said he was fired “for no reason other than my Christian faith,” but he and his sudden coterie of supporters have it backward. This case is not about free speech or religious freedom. It is, as Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed said at a news conference, about “making sure that we have an environment in government where everyone, no matter who they love, can come to work from 8 to 5:30 and do their job and then go home without fear of being discriminated against. The First Amendment already protects religious freedom. Nobody can tell Mr. Cochran what he can or cannot believe. If he wants to work as a public official, however, he may not foist his religious views on other city employees who have the right to a boss who does not speak of them as second-class citizens.--- . Reading this article I was reminded of another wise mans words: “You’re allowed to believe in a god. You’re allowed to believe unicorns live in your shoes for all I care. But the day you start telling me how to wear my shoes so I don’t upset the unicorns, I have a problem with you. The day you start involving the unicorns in making decisions for this country, I have a BIG problem with you.” ―Matthew Shultz WINNING!!! nytimes/2015/01/13/opinion/god-gays-and-the-atlanta-fire-department.html?_r=2
