You’re entitled to opinions, just so long as they’re not based in scripture and are acceptable to your state government (link):

A manager at a Massachusetts retail store claims he was unjustly fired after he told a colleague he thought her impending marriage to another woman was wrong.

Peter Vidala, 24, told FoxNews.com he was terminated in August from his position as second deputy manager at a Brookstone store at Boston’s Logan Airport after a conversation he had with a manager from another Brookstone store who was visiting the location.

Vidala claims the woman, whom he declined to identify, mentioned four times that she had married her partner. He said he then left the store briefly to visit the airport’s chapel before returning.

“I found it offensive that she repeatedly brought it up,” Vidala said. “By the fourth time she mentioned it, I felt God wanted me to express how I felt about the matter, so I did. But my tone was downright apologetic. I said, ‘Regarding your homosexuality, I think that’s bad stuff.’”

The woman, according to Vidala, then said, “Human resources, buddy - keep your opinions to yourself,” before exiting the store.

Two days later, Vidala, who had been employed for just a matter of weeks, received a termination letter citing the company’s zero-tolerance policy regarding “harassment” and “inappropriate and unprofessional” comments.

“In the state of Massachusetts, same-sex marriage is legal and there will be people with whom you work with who have fiancées or spouses who are the same gender,” the Aug. 12 letter read. “… While you are entitled to your own beliefs, imposing them upon others in the workplace is not acceptable and in this case, by telling a colleague that she is deviant and immoral, constitutes discrimination and harassment.”

Vidala disputes using the words “deviant” and “immoral” during conversations with human resources employees on the matter.

From an objective standpoint, just because the government sanctions something doesn’t mean it’s not abhorrent.  Only in the cultural marxist PC World, where an all-seeing government defines right and wrong. Be prepared, because this stuff is only going to get worse as the noose of government-enforced political correctness gets tighter.
