> Let me put it into another frame of reference for you would you support an employer that fired or did not hire someone because they liked, or even wrote a political post on facebook? It doesn't matter whether I support this or not; its legal. >We already had a CEO of a company having to step down for donating to a political cause, and no matter how vile that cause might be, it's still a horribly regressive thing, not that they've donated to an anti-gay cause but that they had to step down over it. I'm assuming you're talking about Brenden Eich. He stepped down as a result of the PR optics of his politics, which made him untenable as the de facto head of the Mozilla community. He was not fired. I do not agree that it is repressive. If your views are so vile as to convince the majority of your users/customers that they no longer want to do business with you, then maybe the problem is your views. > We've already came to a point where your right to employment conflicts with your more important rights of privacy and free speech and we should strive to revert these changes not hail them as something good and somehow a victory for liberalism and social justice. One does not have a right to employment. You have a right to not be discriminated against for status as a member of a protected class. These are not the same thing.
