Who's heard of All-State firing one of their employees for publishing their thoughts AGAINST homosexuality?

Question

Anyone hear of this? I read it in an email once.
I wonder where the ACLU would be on something like this?

Just read the article from the link given below. I hope they get hit big and lose alot of their business from concerned customers. Either that or make right what appears to have been an obvious case of discrimination and fire the ones responsible.

actuator...you evidently don't know the history of the ACLU. I've heard they were started from a communist, so them representing Nazis wouldn't be too hard to believe. (Nazis too have rights!)

Answer 1

Never heard of it, but they can't fire someone for expressing their opinion, unless that person is still under probation or signed the employment papers with some fine print that says they can fire you at any given moment. My work has that, but rarely use it.

Answer 2

I think this 6/24/05 news article covers the story you're talking about:

It seems that Allstate has shown that it is intolerant of an employee's intolerance of gays. Interesting.

Yeah, the ACLU would be conflicted on this one. You'd think they'd have a hard time supporting the anti-gay employee. On the other hand, a few decades ago they went to court on behalf of a Nazi group that had been denied the right to hold a demonstration (or a march, or something). Fringe politics can make strange bedfellows.

Answer 3

I have not heard any more about it since I canceled the policies on my home , business, and trucks, autos,
