Can't see anything that he said being even close to being offesive. I actually find it very politically correct and see this whole thing only as another episode of the gay terror that is hauting the West and spreading like wildfire. Some month ago there was this case in Poland. Parents of 3 kids decided they don't want their children to participate in an "equality program" in their kindergarten in which they were "educating" boys that they can wear dresses, etc. In return the children got expelled from the public kindergarten!!

That's just fucked up. Tolerance meaning treating everyone equal - cool. Stuff like this? No way!

I don't want to live in a world in which you get fired for saying anything that's not praising homosexualism and homosexuals, especially if it's something like what he said. Yeah, for the Church homosexualism is a sin. Everyone who's religious will tell you that. According to this religion, if you don't truely repent for the sin of homosexualism, you're gonna fry in hell alongside other sinners. #dealwithit. Firing someone for reminding you this or doing things like the kindergarten thing in Poland is pure terror and brainwashing that I will never approve of.

I guess you're missing the whole difference between praising homosexuality and not insinuating that homosexuality will eventually lead to bestiality.  There's a huge area in between those two points, to explore which doesn't have to include insulting or praising lifestyles.  And, if you object to being fired for not towing the company line, I would suggest starting your own business and setting your own rules.  Until then, it's their money and they can do what they want with it.

As far as the Poland issue, I can find no article on it so I can't comment without reading further on the subject.

Big words, but not much substance in them, I'm affraid. To the business side - from what I've seen, this TV station needs him more than he needs it. Moreover, if they've decided to make a reality show about a very religious guy and now they are shocked that he expressed the official stance of the Church towards homosexualism in an absolutely politically correct way, they are a bunch of idiots.

@Bold - Yeah, I disagree with you here. There is no huge area in between these two points imho. Homosexualism has been considered just that for hundreds, or even thousands of years and just because majority of people in the West have only recently decided to shift the borders a bit doesn't allow you to make such arbitrary statements. In fact it probably still is considered just that in more places than it isn't. You can't just force your point of view on people who prefer to hold on to their traditional values, especially if they express their point of view in such a civil way as he did. Because again, there is no insulting there, unlike you suggest.

In fact after that event in the kindergarten (here you have a link to a Polish article: http://parezja.pl/dzieci-wyrzucone-z-przedszkola-z-powodu-ideologii-gender/ I hope google translator will help you, as it's obviously in Polish. Unfortunately there aren't many articles about it, since most media didn't really pay attention to this. That's what happens when such accidents happen, but God forbid when it's the other way round, all hell breaks loose...), there was a debate in one program in which the anchor mentioned and analysed a WHO document about gender education. Quite many points of that document are blatant forms of pedophilia in Poland (and I tell this to you as a lawyer). So yeah, I totally disagree with you about this whole "huge area between". The borders have been moved, but the gender movement is still trying to push them further and further, even into what is illegal today. I absolutely disagree with this. I'm not religious, but I respect Judeo-Christian values and hold them in high regard, as they've stood the test of time and it is a fact that whenever we've tried to reject them and replace with something else, terrifying things happened. This can't be said about the "values" of gender "philosophy", which at some points are absolutely unacceptable for me. Tolerance, understanding, equal treatment, rights - yes, absolutely. But I disagree to the minority terror that is showing its head and to the constant pushing of their demands and to the substitution of our values with these new ideas.

When I think of this movement I see beautiful and absolutely reasonable slogans on their banners, but their actions don't reflect these slogans in the slightest and actually aim at totally different goals, that I no longer agree with.
