I'm going to draw the line at conflating people's personal opinions with their professional ones.
I totally disagree with Brendan's position on gay rights, but I completely support his right to have his own personal opinions.
If we don't separate these issues, we are only enabling other corporations to fire leaders because they _DO_ personally support gay rights.
That's not acceptable - but we can't have it both ways.
- MetaCosm 13y agoBullshit, of course we can (and do) have it both ways. Look at interracial marriage. If you are actively trying to ban interracial marriage, we CAN AND WILL run your ass out on a rail so you can't be CEO. If on the other-hand -- you think two people of different races getting married is fine, yey for you. This just -- insanely dumb -- fox news style -- belief that every issue has two EQUAL and VALID sides is nonsense. If you are a huge racist, you will be fired. THERE IS NO OTHER SIDE of the freaking racial issue. Just like there is no other side of the gay rights issue.
