Ah. A respected friend quite nicely asked my opinions on certain other employment situations:
If I opened up a vegan/vegetarian/healthfood store, would I want to hire a meat-eater, especially knowing they would be vocal about their views?
Well, I don't think it's appropriate to be vocal about your personal views on the job. If the meat-eater was vociferous enough that he was driving away customers, he should be fired.
If I found out he was eating porkchops for dinner at home, I would not have a right to fire him.
If C28 hired a homosexual and that person chose to make out with his/her partner at work, that person should be fired. If that person wants a job, and believes in God, and is willing to pray with customers like C28 requires, I don't think what they do at home is the employer's business.
Borrowing from an America's Next Top Model episode: FUBU does not have the right to refuse to hire caucasians, neither does Abercrombie & Fitch have the right to refuse to hire African Americans.
Refusing to hire someone based on anything not having to do with the job requirements should not be legal. Firing someone for what they do at home should not be legal.
And in California, it's not.
