Ah, of course.Happily, my religious conviction is that these fine employers may fuck themselves, right in their touchholes.I guess we’ll see who’s religion wins.

Which holy book requires an employer to fire a gay employee? I've spent some time studying different religions and have yet to have found an excerpt encouraging someone to do this.
If there's no holy book telling you to fire gay people, then the fear about employers needing to violate religious convictions would seem to be stillborn.

It's totally fine to hire liars, thieves, adulterers, idol worshipers, or murderers, but homosexuals are just as a step too far in the eyes of these people.

If you fire someone for idol worshipping though, you'll certainly be in legal trouble in the US. :P
