Get this:
A female university employee emails a male colleague about viewing a Lesbian film. The recipient of the email sends her an email saying that he believes homosexuality is wrong and an abomination to God. She complains to the university. He gets reprimanded.
Her email:
On March 7, Arlene Holpp Scala (search), chair of the Women's Studies Department, sent Daniel an unsolicited e-mail announcement of an upcoming film event: "'Ruthie and Connie: Every Room in the House,' a lesbian relationship story." Scala advised those who wished to respond, "Please do not hit reply, click here," thus directing messages to her university e-mail address.
His email:
On March 8, Daniel clicked to privately reply, "Do not send me any mail about 'Connie and Sally' and 'Adam and Steve.' These are perversions. The absence of God in higher education brings on confusion. That is why in these classes the Creator of the heavens and the earth is never mentioned." [His message is quoted in full. No other communication with Scala ensued.]

here.So, only pro-gay speech is protected. The rest of us aren't allowed to express our views. Good to know.
I wonder where the ACLU is?
What's absolutely sickening is that this woman
raised the issue on her own volition and
contacted Mr. Daniel first. His "threatening" email was simply an elongated refusal to attend her gay love-fest seminar. The only reason the Chairwoman complained is that she's a holier-than-thou, hypocritical, completely incompetent biatch.

You know EXACTLY where the ACLU is right now. Filing a lawsuit against Mr. Daniels because of his Christian beliefs. |

Actually, Mr. Daniels is Muslim. Check the story on Fox.

I think she acted correct. Being anti-homosexuality is discrimination.
And hypocritical? If a professor at the uni of Istanbul would say 'All Americans are stupid and ignorant and Allah isn't in their midst.' Would YOU say 'oh, he's wrong, but he's expressing his personal beliefs so we should let him'? |

Willem,
"I think she acted correct. Being anti-homosexuality is discrimination."
I can be anti-anything-I-want and that is perfectly legal. He can be anti-homosexuality and they can't (or at least shouldn't) do a thing about it. That changes when it comes to things like hiring decisions.
"Would YOU say 'oh, he's wrong, but he's expressing his personal beliefs so we should let him'?"
Yes, that's exactly what I would say. Have you even heard of the concept of free speech? If you disagree, you criticise his speech with your own speech.
Freedom really does work, you know. |
