Re: 'Duck Dynasty' star Phil Robertson suspended by A&E
Unfortunately for your argument, you would be ignoring the generational and contextual shift that has occurred around homosexuality in just the past ten years. And just like interracial marriage, it's going to take time to work through our society and be "generally accepted. And for anyone that rather recognize that reality, as opposed to mount some pointless "culture war" against it, they understand that such actions just help foster and reinforce the resistance against it. In fact, it's why intelligent people tend to disagree with imposing views on democratic societies when cultural shifts are occurring naturally (Ginsburg ala RvsW)
The employer here is responding to organized threats of boycotts, not some random interview
PS also, where did I bring up the whole "intolerance" thing? Respond to what I write, not the pre-digested cud you have sitting around
Let's say I did an interview with the local paper where I said that as a Bible believing Christian, I believe interracial marriage to be a sin. Let's say I then went on to compare interracial marriage to whites marrying an ape.

Would you think my employer was being intolerant if they suspended or fired me for that?
