Christian conservative Linda Harvey
insists gays deserve to be fired for displaying their “lifestyles.”
Harvey, the founder of the Columbus,
Ohio-based Mission America and a frequent contributor to the
conservative website WND.com, told her listeners that the “homosexual
lifestyle” was incompatible with being “an excellent employee”
because it “shows a disrespect” to others.
“Shouldn't an employer have the right
to uphold high moral standards in his or her company?” Harvey
rhetorically asked. “Or shouldn't schools have the right to
not have open homosexuals or cross-dressers modeling that lifestyle
to kids? This does not deprive anyone of a job by the way, except
those who insist on displaying these lifestyles to everyone and
forcing their acceptance. Such behavior shows a disrespect for two
things: Everyone else around them and for hardcore facts. The fact
is that no one needs to be involved in homosexuality and all of the
good qualities a person may have that might make that person
otherwise an excellent employee don't require a homosexual lifestyle.
Now the activists won't like this and I may get another slew of
hateful emails and such from the tolerance crowd but really where is
the actual concern for the rights and beliefs of others? The track
record on these so-called non-discrimination regulations shows a
consistent and disturbing pattern of bullying and abuse.”
