"Allstate terminates manager over homosexuality column
On own time, man posted anti-'gay' article insurance giant says didn't reflect its values "
This was the headline that caught my eye.
http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=44961
Here is the article. I didn't want to infringe on any copyright issues, so I did not post the entire article. In a nutshell, the gentleman in question was fired because he felt that Allstate was forcing him to accept a practice that he finds "sinful" according to his belief system. He posted "anti-gay" articles on his own time, from the privacy of his own house, and a "pro-gay" organization put 2 and 2 together and complained about him, leading to his termination. According to his statement, he never mentioned Allstate in any form that would say that he was a spokesperson for the insurance giant, and that the only reason that someone knew he worked there, was because the forum he posted regularly on published his profile with is work title along with the article. http://www.theconservativevoice.com/articles/article.html?storyid=1484
And there is the article he wrote. You won't see Allstate mentioned anywhere.
Do you think Allstate went too far?
