In fact, I think it is strange to fixate on this tiny aspect of a whole person, whose work performance has absolutely nothing to do with sexual identity at all.
And as I've said, I have never supported the idea that homosexuals should be legally denied employment. And if I had a very small commercially and publically located office, I would try very hard not to discriminate against homosexuals in hiring, even though their personal sexual behavior is against my religious principles.
I have tried successfully to be polite and respectful to homosexuals I meet "on the street", as I should be. But don't confuse polite, loving and nice with "supportive" of their lifestyle. The two are NOT the same. Discriminatory means to "harm", such as in denying employment in a public type of company.
We have discussed this before, so I guess you are just not listening, but I will try once more to explain the difference.
And I will try to explain the things also: I would also, in addition to homosexuals, not want to hire a promiscuous person to work in my home, male or female. That does not make me bigoted or hateful or discriminatory in an evil way. It simply means that I value the personal space around me, and I have a right to be circumspect of who I have for lengthy time periods in my personal home. |
