Still unsure why this thread (or the whole media coverage) has turned into as a religious issue, no one is trying to deny him of his right to practice religion how he wishes to do so.......... you are being fed what the media wants you to eat and chewing on it. Stop watching the news and stand back and think about the whole situation for a second with the gay rights and christian blinders taken away.
This is more about free speech and A&E's decision on what to do about it. The reason any of this came up and in the lime light was because he made statements about his opinion and personal thoughts outside of the workplace. By his rights, he is absolutely permitted to say those things. But if his employer does not agree and does not like those statements, THEY have every right to fire that employee. Am i not correct? That is the workplace we all have to deal with, like it or not.
Is A&E correct in suspending him? Well, if it was my work, i'd be lucky if i had a job by Monday morning. How about any of you? In a way i do not blame A&E for trying to distance them selves, they want to make money. BUT i also agree that the Robertson's should give A&E the middle finger for trying to manipulate and silence them. They knew damn well what their family was all about when they signed the contracts to follow them around with cameras shoved up their back sides.
I will refer back to post #2 of this thread....... It is Horse **** that WE ARE SILENCED by our opinion even if WE CHOOSE NOT TO JUDGE OTHERS by our feelings.
