I work for a $1 Billion Fortune 500 company in the healthcare industry.

We recently had to attend a "cultural diversity class."

The class included presentations on homosexuality and acceptance of that lifestyle choice as "normal."

I am offended that I was forced to listen to this type of homosexual propaganda. I am offended that I am forced to "accept" or feign acceptance of a lifestyle which is counter to everything heterosexual.

Homosexuality is a choice. Homosexuality is unlike other diverse distinctions such as race or gender. No one chooses their race or gender, and so it should be wrong to discriminate against them.

To allow the choice of one's sexuality to be treated the same as an ethnic group or gender is ludicrous. What's next? Acceptance of all sexual deviations: pedophilia, necrophilia, beastiality?

Do you feel it is right for a company to force such views on its employees?

Do I have the legal right to opt out of such employee classes?

I am looking to compare the average return rate on real estate to that of other investments, such as stock. I can look at the stock indexes to figure out the historical return rate, but does anyone know what the average rate on real estate is?

I wrote a letter stating I knew I was getting paid less than a new employee and wanted to know why and if I wasn't worth it to them I would consider other options. Then I got fired! Is that right?

I am looking for a job that I can make some money off of. Not surveys or anything like that. I have found Avon and Ameriplan. Ameriplan sounds good, but not great. Avon is something I have seen people make money off of, but there are already plenty of women doing the Avon selling. I would like to hear from people who are selling either of these products to help me make my descison. You don't have to sell both. Any input would be great!
