Didn't Zarda's side eventually win that case?If that instructor was say LDS and he said that to the woman to ease her aprehension then afterwards was fired for it, the law suit would not be denied.
Anyways, employees should not be talking about their sexuality or religion to customers. Period.
Not only did his comment make the customer uncomfortable, but she claimed that he also touched her in ways that made her feel even more uncomfortable.
Maybe he mentioned his sexuality to justify manhandling her a bit? I don't know the truth behind these claims. I wasn't there. But a company would fire any employee that had such a complaint made against them.
I could be disciplined if I spoke about my religion or proselyted while working. I could get fired if I tried to use my religious affiliation to justify something I did or said that made a customer feel uncomfortable.
I don't think so. The LDS Church aren't "media darlings" like homosexuals.The public outrage would be global.
That is a matter of opinion.Remember, to be religious is a choice unlike being gay.
First off, this is a matter of personal belief. We should not be trying to write Christ's teachings into law, therefore, forcing other people to live by them.The important thing to understand is that all it requires to realize such treatment is wrong is to use empathy. Jesus preached this as did many other faiths and philosophies "do unto others....."
Separation of Church and State.
Second, I don't want employees anywhere talking to me about their sexuality. And I don't want to discuss my sexuality with them either.
That's your perfect "Do unto others..." scenario.
"You don't tell me about your sexuality and I won't tell you about mine."
I have used the example of pedophilia in arguments against homosexuality, but not in the way you are espousing.Just in case you want to use the argument that a loving homosexual adult consenting coulple is the same as a pedophile , please look at that logically. They are not the same. I wont go into that argument unless you want it.
I am not comparing two consenting adults helping one another masturbate or whatever to a child being exploited.
However, I have used the example of pedophilia to point out that there is such a concept as "inappropriate love".
Where someone draws the line at what is or is not "inappropriate love" depends on the individual, but I believe that romantic and sexual love should only be had between a man and woman who are legally and lawfully wedded.
That's it.
I consider pre-marital sex to be just as harmful to our souls as homosexual behavior, but pre-marital sex has more potential to be repented of.
I believe that people do this, not the true tenets of these faiths.One of the problems i see with all of the monotheistic Abramic mesianic faiths is that calls for the demonization of certain groups of people such as blacks, homosexuls, atheists, other faiths, and other denominations.
I don't subscribe to the idea that religion is a source of mankind's woes. it has done more good than harm.This over rides natural empathy and has been the cause of many dire evils in history.
Socialism has killed more people than religion has.
