Phil wasn't let go because of his religion
He was let go for acting like a bigoted asshole
Bullshit....The fact is A&E management was aware of the content of the interview months ago.
If quoting the Bible is a form of bigotry, we are doomed as a nation.
Oh, to you 'bigot' is just a label the throw around like a wad of mud, hoping it sticks to those you've deemed 'enemy'..
Where exactly does the bible sanction segregation and compare homosexuals to terrorists?
Robertson wasnt suspended for his religion, he was suspended due to his hate and ignorance, as the network was at liberty to do.
They can can him and also they can be sued for it.
If this goes before a jury A&E would lose.
Nope. Wouldn't even show up in court. Has no basis.
Shows me what a lack of access to the legal system produces. I cant believe how ignorant some of these morons are.
Lesbian Teacher Wins $170,000 Court Award From Cincinnati Archdiocese (3434)
Jury disregards morals clause in her employment contract, ruling she was wrongfully dismissed after becoming pregnant through artificial insemination.
CINCINNATI — The Archdiocese of Cincinnati has been ordered to pay more than $170,000 in back pay and damages to a former Catholic schoolteacher who sued the archdiocese for firing her after she became pregnant through artificial insemination.
The archdiocese said it was enforcing a morals clause in an employment contract that requires archdiocesan employees to “comply and act consistently in accordance with the stated philosophy and teachings of the Roman Catholic Church.”
However, Christa Dias and her attorney argued that the archdiocese violated her rights under federal pregnancy anti-discrimination laws when it fired her from her teaching job in October 2010. A jury agreed, finding for the plaintiff after a week-long trial in a federal court in Ohio.
On June 3, the jury — after deliberating for two days — awarded Dias $50,000 in back day, $21,000 in compensatory damages and $100,000 in punitive damages, said Dan Andriacco, the communications director for the Archdiocese of Cincinnati.
Looks like Phil might own A&E after all this is over. Specifically, A&E violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964:
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII), which prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. SEC. 2000e-2. [Section 703]
(a) Employer practices
It shall be an unlawful employment practice for an employer -
(1) to fail or refuse to hire or to discharge any individual, or otherwise to discriminate against any individual with respect to his compensation, terms, conditions, or privileges of employment, because of such individuals race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.
Thats what discrimination is. It's law.
Phil wasn't let go because of his religion
Sorry but you're wrong. He was let go for his religious views on homosexuality.
Once again conservatives show they don't understand the difference between behavior and identity.
He's entitled to his opinion.Once again conservatives show they don't understand the difference between behavior and identity.
Nor do liberals know the difference between action and opinion. You act as if his opinion hurt gay people. Well according to the gays that revolted against GLAAD for their role in this debacle, it didn't.

People are entitled to respond to his opinion.
See how that works?
The OP (and those who agree with it) approaches it from another angle though, and show the inability of those conservatives to differentiate between behavior and identity.
Does the CRA address identity or behavior ?He's entitled to his opinion.Nor do liberals know the difference between action and opinion. You act as if his opinion hurt gay people. Well according to the gays that revolted against GLAAD for their role in this debacle, it didn't.

Not according to the civil rights act.
Sorry but you're wrong. He was let go for his religious views on homosexuality.
If he had said.......the Bible says homosexuality is wrong and I believe it is wrong, he would not be having these problems
Saying......what is the deal with gays and ass fucking? Wouldn't they rather have a pussy?
Or comparing it to bestiality
Or saying Jim Crow wasn't so bad
Isn't in the bible
Your word is not valid....Post quotes from the transcript.

Zactly.Once again conservatives show they don't understand the difference between behavior and identity.
Nope...and every single one of them believe they should have the right to fire me, not for my behaviors, but my identity as a gay American.
Liberals thrive on lying. True logic doesn't fit their silly argument so they deny the truth, paraphrase and twist meanings to meet their needs. Their arguments are quite weak without false logic and persistent lies.Sorry but you're wrong. He was let go for his religious views on homosexuality.

Again, he DID NOT COMPARE IT TO BESTIALITY. Can't you guys READ or are you really that fucking dense??? He said bestiality because it is in with A LIST OF SINS according to his belief and which is stated in the bible.
ARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGG
Using the words homosexuality, bestiality and pedophilia in the same conversation does not equate them anymore than using the names Tom, Dick and Harry in the same conversation makes them equal...except that they are all men...or tunnels, depending on the topic.If he had said.......the Bible says homosexuality is wrong and I believe it is wrong, he would not be having these problems

I don't know why conservatives have so much trouble with this
If when talking about homosexuality, you start babbling about bestiality or pedophilia.....you are going to catch hell for it
When talking about Jim Crow, if you start waxing nostalgic about the good ole days.....you are going to catch hell for it

Are you only a heterosexual when you are actually screwing?Once again conservatives show they don't understand the difference between behavior and identity.

There's no difference.
Being Gay is a behaviour, not an identity. Being monogamous is a behaviour. It's not like once you become Gay you're issued a special status for tax purposes.

Of course. The bestiality folks don't have the kind of lobbyists that Gays have.
And even among Gays transsexuals get a bum rap.
The pedophiles are gaining strength, but they still have a long way to go before they can gain recognition as fine, upstanding Americans.
