Re: Pope launches attack on UK equality law
This is a perfect example of why we have fireman who can't rescue people from a burring building.
If it is a private company they certainly can fire or not hire someone based on whatever reason they like. It is called freedom of choice.
Fortunately here in the US, we understand this.
In most states in the US they have what is called "at will" employment. They can hire and fire for whatever reason they like.
This works.
Obviously you don't understand.
It's perfectly expected to refuse to hire someone who is obviously not qualified for the job and who doesn't possess the necessarily personality traits to handle a multicultural environment. It's not okay to refuse employment based solely on race, religion, gender or sexual orientation.

No one is being forced to hire anyone. They're just being told that sexual orientation alone is not a valid reason to refuse someone employment when they are otherwise perfectly qualified for the job.

I understand the concept of sin just fine. I grew up Catholic. As such, I was told to hate the sin and love the sinner. But, like everything else, they were just meaningless, empty words. As the reaction of the Pope himself proves, when it comes to gays, the new motto seems to be "hate the sin, hate the sinner, ostracize him/her". Too bad they don't feel the same about the bad apples in their midst. If they did, at least I could commend their consistency.
