      So he believes of you’re gay, you go to hell, as it’s a sin. He says it’s his own view, yet it’s almost certain he’ll apply it, conscious or not, to customers or other coworkers.

      It’s not discrimination for not wanting a homophobe in your workplace

      If you work around vulnerable people then you can’t have beliefs or opinions that could be damaging to said people. Seems self explanatory.

      If you are a fundamentalist that might treat people different for things they were born with including sexuality, race or ethnicity then you probably aren’t fit to be a social worker.

      A second interview to better understand their positions and how if they feel they can’t do the job without trying to impose said beliefs on others is very reasonable.

      Edit: a lot of people seemingly angry they can’t work with vulnerable adults and children while being a raging bigot judging by the karma ratio. I will not agree that your free speech is more important than those vulnerable people’s safety.

      I sincerely hopes he loses this case which he seems to have brought in, ironically, incredibly bad faith. He does not sound at all compatible with the position.

      Rejection of homosexuality isn’t part of Christian doctrine so idk how he can claim it’s discrimination against his religion, bro needs to go back to asking what Jesus would do (spoiler: It wouldn’t be telling people that their God-given sexuality is sinful).

      I think it makes perfect sense for a mental health charity to want its employees to be comfortable with the existence non-hetero people.

      If only people like him would stop hiding their shitty views behind their religion. If he’s unable to do the job properly because of his views it’s perfectly fine to not give him it.

      This not only compromises the wellbeing of patients, but it’s a lawsuit waiting to happen against the hospital.
      I would not expect to get a job in green energy if I openly said I don’t believe in recycling.

      I teach kids that lie like this all the time. “I got sent out of lesson for asking a question!” No, you got sent out of lesson for shouting an inappropriate question repeatedly during a test.
      This dude did not get turned down for his Christianity, but for his views and expression of them.
