You’re free to say whatever you want. Nobody’s stopping you. But if you choose to work a job where 80% of it is talking, don’t be surprised when your performance is measured by what you say.
Please tell me which religion he is, as no where in the bible does it say "Trans people are evil, don't believe the woke agenda", it does say however, "Love thy neighbour".
Thomas Jefferson wrote that there should be "a wall of separation of Church and State." Meaning no religion in government matters. Meaning, no tax breaks, no National Cathedral, no "In God We Trust", no "one nation under God."
Of course the people who scream about what the Founding Fathers wanted tend to ignore what the Founding Fathers really said.

Good. I hope the court throws out his case, and I hope he dies of natural causes, soon
Good.
Man how hard it must be to suck it up, and just do something you don't agree with because your job said to. What a fucking child of an adult.
This isn't a new debate, he chose to work in a field where he was gonna be asked to do this eventually. I have to call people "valued customers" all day and don't agree with it, I don't see how this is any harder for him to adapt to in his field. (Not that pronoun requests are frivolous and dumb, they're easy to just....do)
Trans people should start their own religion and then claim bigots are violating their right to freedom of religion or whatever

Ban the bully from the school where they harassed kids. It should always be like that.
